Piano/bass duos can get rather tiresome unless there's risk taking, of which there's plenty on this live date. Hal Galper and his bassist Jeff Johnson wanted more than just trading off solo and rhythm keeping roles. Instead they perform a daring tightrope act without a single fall in their series of brilliant interpretations. Their fresh uptempo version of "Isfahan," a dramatic "Blue And Green," plus two fine originals by University of Miami professor Ron Miller and Galper's pretty waltzing ballad "This One's for You" are all very enjoyable. Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Hal Galper
Active Decades: '70s, '80s and '90s
Born: Apr 18, 1938 in Salem, MA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop
An excellent if generally overlooked advanced hard bop pianist, Hal Galper studied at Berklee (1955-1958) and then worked in many groups, including with Chet Baker, Stan Getz, the Brecker Brothers, Bobby Hutcherson, and with such singers as Joe Williams, Chris Connor, and Anita O'Day. He played electric piano (an instrument he has since dropped) with the Cannonball Adderley Quintet during its last years (1973-1975) and spent time playing with Lee Konitz and John Scofield. Galper, who has recorded as a leader for Mainstream, SteepleChase, Enja, Concord (including a solo set at Maybeck Recital Hall), and Blackhawk, gained his greatest notoriety for being a pianist with Phil Woods's quartet/quintet from 1981 to 1990.
