My Jazz professor, Marc Seales, loved this guy's ability to use his piano as a drum, and often would improvise for us in class in this style (ala Max Roach's drumming-style) - this one's a 9 for me...Long Live RP and great music of all genres!!

Being the first to comment on this beautiful piece notwithstanding, I quit what I was doing to see who it was playing,...Lionel Hampton maybe?  But to my surprise and delight I find this smooth vibe being played by Cecil Taylor to be an 8+ on first hearing it.

5 o'clock mellow tune as I lock up for the day  : )  (whoa sounds like someone's hitting the speed bag towards the end!)
