Bird Song

The tracks on Bird Song feature bebop tunes (Big Foot, Ray's Idea, Cheryl and Thad Jones' Bird Song) lush standards (Stella by Starlight, I Should Care, Yesterdays and Just One of Those Things) and a rollicking original (Blues for Jacque). The mix presents the listener with Hawes at his swinging and most introspective best. And as you listen to Chamber's rock solid sound and Marable's snapping brushes, you wish more with this trio had been recorded.
