ENJA 24 BIT MASTER EDITION
Born in Scranton, PA and musically educated at Berklee School, worked with Boston musicians before coming to Europe in 1965 where he grew into a household name on the Frankfurt jazz scene. Bob's trio date "Sequoia Song" of 1976 is one of the timeless jewels in the ENJA catalog. A sophisticated interpreter, the charm and attraction of Degen's music are based on an outstanding technique, great feeling and a sublime creativeness. He uses a great deal of space in all he does while probing and pushing with unforeseeable piano lines. Even 30 years after its recording, "Sequoia Song" is among the true miracles of piano trio jazz.
Jazz Journal: An excellent pianist. Jazzthetik: Degen's masterpiece, a superb album. |
