Bonner, Joe "Impressions Of Copenhagen" LP

• McCoy Tyner-inspired piano from an underrated master, weaving through four originals and standards like "Lush Life" alongside a string quartet, trumpet, trombone, and flute
• Originally released on Theresa in 1981, this is one of Bonner's finest recordings — lyrical, passionate, and long overdue for rediscovery
• For fans of: McCoy Tyner, Cedar Walton, Kenny Barron, Mal Waldron

Originally released by Theresa in 1981, this frequently exquisite set features the McCoy Tyner-inspired piano of Joe Bonner on four originals, Cal Massey's "Quiet Dawn," and "Lush Life." Bonner and a rhythm section are joined by a string quartet, trumpet, trombone, and flutist Holly Hofmann (the leader provided the arrangements) for music that is both lyrical and often passionate. Bonner is an underrated talent, and this is one of his finest recordings.
