Pianist Walter Davis, Jr led relatively few recording sessions throughout his career despite his obvious talent. In fact this CD was his first opportunity to head a date for an American label since his lone Blue Note set back in 1959! Davis performs 14 Thelonious Monk songs (including two versions of "'Round Midnight") unaccompanied. To his credit he does not avoid the more difficult and obscure works (including "Gallop's Gallop," "Trinkle Twinkle," and "Criss Cross"), and he consistently plays with creativity and a dose of the famous Monk wit. Walter Davis, Jr knew Thelonious Monk both personally and musically, and his familiarity really shows on this easily recommended release. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/in-walked-thelonious-mw0000267649

Baby Keep Me On The Line (from the CD 'One Woman Blues)"Enjoyable and low key acoustic song. Your vocal pitches are good and you tell the story well. Your voice has an enjoyably gritty edge."

One Woman Blues (CD One Woman Blues)"....a little on the Brecht side of things. You do it well, and again you have a lot of variety in your singing and dynamics."

Wholly Blue (One Woman Blues)"I enjoyed this one more than any previous. You sing it very well."

Where's the Cool? (One Woman Blues)"I am still impressed by your range and your pallet of approaches to various songs." http://www.zoechilco.ca/reviews.htm

He was born in Madrid (Spain), December 1, 1956. He starts young playing the guitar but soon he is attracted to the world of wind instruments. His musical references are many artists and different styles. Professionally he starts playing in the city “haunts”. Diego Carrasco, Jean Luc Vallet, Manuel Soler, Peer Wyboris, David Thomas, Ricardo Miralles, Pedro Iturralde, Vlady Bas, among others, are references and  masters of his environment. His first professional recording with Las Grecas is an anecdote, late in Dolores Band, He is grouped around Pedro Ruy Blas and several musicians of the Madrid scene, to record 3 LPs and in one of them appears Paco de Lucia, with whom he will work over time in many recordings and worldwide tours. Also at the same time he met Camarón, and records in La “Leyenda del Tiempo”, since then, more than 20 albums and several trips around the world taking his personal language and vision of the Hispanic musical tradition. He is a usual partner of Chick Corea, and plays in his band Touchstone on a worldwide tour. His collaborators list extends covering the most diverse styles and backgrounds, from “solo flute” to his latest Flamenco Big Band project Huellas XL, flamenco and jazz trios or symphonics projects make this musician, an authentic  all-terrain. There are musicians who are masters at what they do but become torpid with other musics, others manage to mix languages with relative ease, but only a few are genuine alchemists, those who know the nature and properties of the metals they want to merge  and they know to get pure art through the alchemy. Faustino Nuñez. January 15Th 2013. Jorge Pardo received in Paris at Théâtre du Châtelet  the award for Best European Jazz Musician, by the French Jazz Academy. http://jorgepardo.com/biography/
