The record

Part of Norman Granz's run of Pablo live dates capturing the festival circuit at full tilt, this set finds Bryant leaning into his blues-and-gospel-rooted swing for an audience primed to respond. Solo or trio, it's the sound of a pianist equally at home with Basie-toned economy and barrelhouse joy.
