John Chin is a pianist and composer as comfortable within the tradition as he is outside of its boundaries. His upcoming album with vocalist Richard Julian,
Anything Mose, honors the work of Mose Allison, and will doubly engage jazz listeners and beyond.
Allison, a Mississippi native, moved to New York in the 1950s to work as a pianist with an assortment of bebop and cool jazz disciples, such as Gerry Mulligan, Stan Getz and Phil Woods. As he formed his own trio and began recording for Prestige in 1957, his strong blues quotient earned him fans in the folk, early rock and blues communities.
