Junior Mance (piano); Chip Jackson (bass); Jackie Williams (drums); Eric Alexander (tenor sax). Recorded on December 10, 2000 at The Studio, NYC, by Katherine Miller.
Jazz legend Junior Mance remains very popular among Japanese jazz fans, and has been making quite a few important albums for Japanese labels. Yesterdays, recorded in 2000 for M&I, is one of them. It's special appeal, in addition to the great, bluesy pianism by the leader and the wonderful performance by bassist Chip Jackson and drummer Jackie Willaims, is the appearance of the young tenor titan Eric Alexander on five tunes.
Both firmly rooted in the tradition of jazz, and with the "heavy" sound that relies on the midrange of their respective instruments, Mance and Alexander show great rapport with one another. Recorded in New York by Katherine Miller, the sound of this CD is also very good! Strongly recommended!
