venusrecord.comLike many other prominent jazz musicians, master pianist John Hicks started his early career with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1964-1965). This special album for Venus Records was recorded in 1992 as a tribute to his former boss who had passed away two years earlier.
Hicks' many influences--including Bud Powell, Art Tatum, Fatz Waller, Oscar Peterson, Thelonious Monk and McCoy Tyner--shaped his modern yet earthy style. Aided by his well-known collaborators Marcus Maclaurene on bass and Victor Lewis on drums, Hicks here perform some of the familiar Jazz Messengers' repertories with a lot of emotion and extra earthiness.
It is not easy to perform these tunes--forever etched to jazz fan's memories with the powerful two-horn quintet sound of the Messengers--with a piano trio, but Hicks is successful here, more than making up the lack of horn players with his powerful piano playing.
