A fairly rare discographical item, pianist Francy Boland is here captured in a small-group setting featuring Jimmy Woode on bass and the legendary Kenny Clarke on drums. The trio guide US through versions of familiar Clarke-Boland numbers that have been pared back to reveal the absolute musical essentials. This session is a perfectly cut gem; unassuming but wholly flawless, and shining with intelligent musical light. Recorded in Cologne, Germany, 1967.
