The record
A trio outing that quietly documents one of West Coast jazz's saddest what-ifs -- Twardzik's angular, Monk-tinged piano would be silenced by overdose within the year. Recorded shortly before he left for Chet Baker's European tour, it's a rare, intimate glimpse of an original voice cut short.
