Review of Denny Zeitlin - Jazz Perspective

Great surprises come in small packages!
This is a very interesting piece with the great hook of clashing jazz piano and head shrinking. It grabs you and makes you want to get through the piece.
The reporter and the subject are mixed a bit in an odd way, but no matter, this is nicely crafted, though I would pull a second or two off the opening to get to the hook faster. It's just a second or two into the button hit change.
While the hook isn't fully explored, it is a nice piece for any jazz station, especially those playing this artist.
