Jazz / Soul-Jazz
Bop
Recorded: April 5, 1957, Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey
Ray Bryant Trio: Ray Bryant (piano); Ike Isaacs (bass); Specs Wright (drums)
Having made a good impression in 1955 with his playing on Miles Davis Quintet/Sextet and then on an Epic LP, in 1957 Ray Bryant captured the undivided attention of the jazz world with this album, a perfect expression of his style and of the art of the piano trio. Bryant's understatement and fleetness were undergirded by the straightforwardness and rhythmic urgency of his gospel background and the complexity of his modern harmonic understanding. Ray Bryant Trio established Bryant as one of the most important pianists of his generation.

Ray Bryant
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Dec 24, 1931 in Philadelphia, PA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Jazz Blues, Mainstream Jazz, Soul-Jazz
Although he could always play bop, Ray Bryant's playing combines together older elements (including blues, boogie-woogie, gospel, and even stride) into a distinctive, soulful, and swinging style; no one plays "After Hours" quite like him.
The younger brother of bassist Tommy Bryant and the uncle of Kevin and Robin Eubanks (his sister is their mother), Bryant started his career playing with Tiny Grimes in the late '40s. He became the house pianist at the Blue Note in Philadelphia in 1953, where he backed classic jazz greats (including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Lester Young) and made important contacts. He accompanied Carmen McRae (1956-1957), recorded with Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival (taking a brilliant solo on an exciting version of "I Can't Believe That You're in Love With Me"), and played with Jo Jones' trio (1958). Bryant settled in New York in 1959; played with Sonny Rollins, Charlie Shavers, and Curtis Fuller; and soon had his own trio. He had a few funky commercial hits (including "Little Susie" and "Cubano Chant") which kept him working for decades. Bryant recorded often throughout his career (most notably for Epic, Prestige, Columbia, Sue, Cadet, Atlantic, Pablo, and Emarcy), and even his dates on electric piano in the '70s are generally rewarding. However, Ray Bryant is heard at his best when playing the blues on unaccompanied acoustic piano.
