For the latest installment of
Jazz Night s CrateDigging series our host, Christian McBride, spotlights one of his favorite pianists: the late Cedar Walton.
Walton is respected among the giants but underrated in the public eye, particularly as a composer, and yet so many of his songs still get played today. Some of them such as Bolivia, Firm Roots, Clockwise, and Ugetsu (also known as Fantasy in D ) have become standards.
This episode we re featuring a fiery recording from the Jazz at Lincoln Center vaults, a 2008 Cedar Walton Quintet performance at Dizzy s Club. While listening to this swinging set, McBride shares some personal stories about the pianist, having recorded with him back in the day.
