This album was recorded in Toronto following a concert performance for the Classic Jazz Society. It showcases the brilliant piano work of David Boeddinghaus, along time resident of New Orleans, who works primarily as music director for Banu Gibson's Hot Jazz. His mastery of the classic piano styles (Morton, Waller and Wilson) are clearly evident here. Underpinning every selection is the classic New Orleans snare/bass drum centered percussion of Trevor Richards. Since studying with Zutty Singleton in the 1960s Trevor has led bands in New Orleans and other parts of the world. He often tours in Germany with trios stylistically similar to the music heard on this recording.
