This is veteran pianist Junior Mance's first solo piano album. At age 80, he recorded this special album in Japan where his piano style is revered by many fans. In this intimate and intensely personal format, Mance shows all of his pianistic artistry: elegance, relaxed swing feel, soulfulness, a deep sense of blues and more than a touch of gospel feel. As if it is a reflection of his life, the music we hear is warm and beautiful. Having nothing to prove, the piano master is simply being himself, relaxed and enjoying the spontaneous creation of music, and the performance reaches us somewhere deep and moves us. This is a wonderful piano solo album. Recommended!
