An amazingly individual and very little known vibes and piano virtuoso who was sadly robbed from jazz in a fatal car accident at the insanely young age of 32 in his last piano trio recording as a leader - a must listen. His approach to the keyboard brings to mind Lennie Tristano, no less.
Personnel:
Eddie Costa (p)
Wendell Marshall (b)
Paul Motian (ds)

Go and buy it, it is magnificent.
Costa is wonderful working in the lower register. This is another release I've never seen before. You're a real find for anyone following mainstream and hard bop.
Many thanks for this fine recording.
Great sound to show off Eddie Costa and friends.
Great!
