jazz1 Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 While in Paris I bought some cds(4)by French pianist Rene Urtreger I am really impressed by his playing, we all know him from his work with Miles Davis, Chet Baker and Gary Burton, but his own stuff is terrific, especially 4 reissues "Jazzman"," Recidive", "En direct d'Antibes" and "Masters" the first one "Jazzman" is an absolute must for all jazz piano lovers. Comments would be welcomed Quote
brownie Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 Always delighted to see Rene Urtreger appreciated. He is one of the best of the bop pianists generation and continues to improve. His latest album 'Onirica', a solo album which was released on the Sketch label is an absorbing musical contribution. Other essential Urtreger albums are the 'Rene Urtreger Joue Bud Powell' record that was reissued in the Gitanes Jazz in Paris series and the triple CD HUM which gathers three sessions (from 1960, 1979 and 1999) by the Daniel Humair, Rene Urtreger and Pierre Michelot trio. And don't forget Urtreger was the piano player on Lester Young's final recording sessions 'Lester Young in Paris'! Quote
