Air Play Howard Riley, solo piano.
".. one of the jazz world's most immediately recognisable and unfussily virtuosic pianists.. This album utilises all the musical vocabulary Riley has acquired over the past quarter-century � his trademark walking baselines under ringing, wonderfully cluttered right-hand improvisations; his delightful visits to "disguised" standards (here "Lover Man"); his tumbling runs interspersed with clanging percussiveness � to produce music of rare power and strange, pungent beauty. A genuine original at the peak of his powers." Chris Parker, BBC Music Magazine. Purchase direct from SLAM, UK
