Hilton Ruiz
Hilton Ruiz Songbook: Solo Piano
CD
(Hilton Ruiz Music HRM007),
Released 2003;
Editor's Pick:
Another piece of amazing music by Ruiz, but this one a solo recording. From the opening blues "Home Cooking" to the end of the album, Ruiz’s time is astonishing, as is his ability to move between clave feeling and straight ahead swing; his bebop playing is fairly perfect, and on "Michael’s Mambo" it’s hard not to fall in love with his montuno playing, filled with space and percussion at the same time. This is a serious document by a serious player whose death in 2006 was a real loss to the cultural life of the United States.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2008-04-13)
