Solo performer: Cedar Walton (piano). Personnel: Cedar Walton (piano); Cedar Walton. Liner Note Author: Leonard Feather. Recording information: Maybeck Recital Hall, Berkeley, CA (08/09/1992). Photographer: James Gudeman. Cedar Walton at his best, as he is here, is impressive. He has a formidable technique, an easy mastery of the jazz repertoire, uses good taste to choose tunes, draws from a deep harmonic reservoir, and improvises flawlessly. The recording quality here is superb, and the material is classic. "Stella By Starlight" grooves gently, and "Darn That Dream" is fluid and lyrical. "I Didn't Know What Time it Was" is performed at an easy tempo, in a stride piano style, and is laced with charm. A medley of Jobim tunes is also exemplary--on top of impeccable phrasing and a definitive sense of time, Walton offers up a rare (he is an unsentimental pianist) introspective moment.
