    Marco Hi!

    I didn't know you had opened your own blog, congratulation!
    Looking good.
    I will download this album and tell you what I think.
    One thing that I can say is that Kenny Drew Jr. is a better pianist than is father.

    Uri, you'll be glad to know that I was moved to open my (admittedly poor) blog to give back at least a fragment of what I got from you, KingCake, Grumpy, and a bunch of other people...

    As for Kenny Jr, I like how he sounds different from his father, whom I love also!

    A very impressive solo piano display. Technically superb.

    It is. A tad too much on the 'concert' side for my taste, but very enjoyable.
