Harold Mabern - Live at Smalls (2013)

Harold Mabern is a living legend of jazz piano. Born in Memphis, he is considered one of the foremost living post-bop pianists today. His ensemble credentials include working with Cannonball Adderly, Eddie ''Cleanhead'' Vinson, Lee Morgan, Sonny Rollins, George Coleman and virtually all of the significant voices in jazz in the last fifty years. Here he is captured live at Smalls Jazz Club with the rhythm team of Joe Farnsworth on drums and John Webber on bass. His rollicking good-time feel covers a lot of material including the ''Sesame Street'' theme.
