Cedar Walton Trio with Billy Higgins & David Williams

"One of the most regarded trios in contemporary acoustic Jazz"
Mark Gilbert - Jazz Journal
"There are few pianists on the jazz scene today as consistently resourceful and inventive as Cedar Walton. A most engaging composer - Walton has a brilliant flair for creating originals with compelling hooks, appealing rhythms figures and melodic integrity - he is also an imaginative and powerful soloist and a superb accompanist. He has a brilliant harmonic grasp and an ear for the good tunes. Walton development of musical ideas is sure and logical, his reworking of harmonies inspired and he has a marked ability to create a neat little phrase and pursue it through the changes".
Mike Hennessy - Melody Maker

Cedar Walton was the first performer we ever saw at Yoshi's in Oakland, about 10-12 years ago. He never got the praise he deserved - great pianist.

The title of the composition shows up on one of the cards at the beginning of the clip, but it is not in the information section. That is why I added it. You can see elsewhere that I often add supplementary information about the musicians on these clips.

THANK YOU

[@rwkenyon]

Since the title of the composition is not mentioned in the heading, it's Girl Talk, by Neal Hefti.

[@marthaella]

"Girl Talk" was listed as the title when I found it--sorry it got lost in the translation! It's one of my favorite tunes (with or without Cedar). Thanks for the post!

[@loufahjones]

The title of the tune is GIRL TALK (Neal Hefti) . OOgle has it as Bobby Troup but he wrote the lyrics.
