Description:

JAZZ COLLECTION 1000 is a masterpiece of pianist Ray Bryant's work, which is also known as the prestige disc of the same name. The album features drummer Joe Jones, who played a key role in the golden era of the Count Basie Orchestra, and Bryant's playing seems to extract the charm of both swing jazz and modern jazz. Included is the premiere performance of "Cubano Chant," the original number that made Bryant's name unmistakable.
