Tardo Hammer - Look Stop and Listen: The Music Of Tadd Dameron (CD)

Here's a winning combination - take the music of Tadd Dameron, the definitive composer of the bebop era, and have it played by a superb piano trio led by pianist Tardo Hammer, one of the foremost living practitioners of the bebop art. This session features some of Tadd's best known tunes - Hot House, Our Delight and If You Could See Me Now - along with some of his most beautiful lesser known works - Smooth as the Wind, Dial B for Beauty, Focus and the title track Look Stop & Listen. This is authentic bebop music performed by a master improviser and supported by the extremely cohesive duo of bassist John Webber and drummer Joe Farnsworth. This music is as alive and vital today as it was in it's 1940s heyday and a must for lovers of jazz piano and bebop.
