About this album

Here's Ray Bryant is a fine late-period showcase for a pianist who could make every phrase feel relaxed, bluesy and firmly rooted in the jazz tradition. Issued in 1976, the album highlights Bryant’s gift for crisp swing, graceful lyricism and unforced humour, qualities that had made him one of the most reliable players of his generation. His readings of standards and familiar jazz material sit alongside originals, with the set moving easily from the urbane cool of 'Girl Talk' to the darker mood of 'Good Morning Heartache' and the Latin charge of 'Manteca'. It is an assured statement from a veteran pianist with deep experience as both leader and sideman.
