Kenny Barron - OTHER PLACES (1993)

Kenny Barron (piano); Ralph Moore (soprano & tenor saxophones); Bobby Hutchinson (vibraphone); Rufus Reid (acoustic bass); Victor Lewis (drums); Mino Cinelu (percussion).
In the 1990s, Kenny Barron was finally recognized as one of jazz's top pianists, recording a series of top-notch and consistently inventive releases. This CD has seven of Barron's originals in which he is teamed with Ralph Moore (tenor and soprano), vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Victor Lewis, and sometimes percussionist Mino Cinelu. These fine performances help to define the modern mainstream of the period. In addition, there are a pair of standards ("For Heaven's Sake" and a lengthy version of "I Should Care") that are played as sensitive duets with Reid. Excellent and often exquisite music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
