Ray Bryant Swings

I recently discovered a great record called the "Ray Bryant Trio," with Ike Isaacs on bass, and Charles "Specs" Wright on drums, recorded in 1957.


I had heard Ray on two of my all-time favorite drum records, "Papa Joe Jones Trio" and "Max Roach +4," but this record is much different, very mellow and tasty, with some nice brush playing by Charles "Specs" Wright.

Ray Bryant is a terrific composer, and you can find some very nice compositions of his here:
