Larry Fuller Easy Walker CD

 Ray's last pianist is great!
Larry Fuller was in Ray Brown's last trio when the greatest bassplayer of them all passed away in his sleep. Ray had a great ear for pianists: he played for 15 years with the great Oscar Peterson, but had his own trio's with Monty Alexander, Gene Harris and with Larry Fuller. Some jazzlovers do think that this fine pianoplayer is Monty Alexander, but Larry Fuller is his own man and I wish he had made more cd's. Of course there is his fine and recommended work in the Jeff Hamilton Trio, but this guy certainly deserves a good record-contract with a major company and a lot of cd's out under his own name. At the moment Larry is a talent only known by insiders, but he should be famous! He was Ray's pick for his last trio and as Oscar Peterson said: Ray had big ears ! (great ears for major talents) Recordcompanies: do something about this, offer this great pianist a good contract and bring out more cd's like this one. Extra bonus on this cd: Ray Brown and Jeff Hamilton, it's hard (even impossible) to find a better rhythmtandem. Highly recommended! Arnold van Kampen, jazzcritic, the Netherlands.
