Newton / Green / Ganley - Eye Witness - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This trio CD (with bassist Dave Green and drummer Allan Ganley) strikes a balance between well played standards and upbeat catchy originals. InchAngel EyesInch is almost a mandatory ballad for a pianist to play at some time - Newton's very soft approach would hush the nosiest audience. A lengthy workout of Mal Waldron's InchSoul EyesInch and a brief take on the nearly forgotten showtune InchStars in My EyesInch merit praise. Among Newton's works, the strutting opener InchOl' Blue EyesInch and the turbocharged title track stand out. Album Tracks 1. Ol' Blue Eyes 5 23 2. Bedroom Eyes 6 21 3. Angel Eyes 6 36 4.
