  • Description

    Joe Albany (1924 - 1988) was one of the handful of bebop pianists who re-emerged to the world stage in the 70s. On this album he is captured performing a solo concert at Copenhagen's famed Montmartre club on May 1, 1973. It serves as the testimonial of an extraordinary artist.

    Although there exist no official recordings with Charlie Parker, Joe Albany was one of the few white pianists who played with Bird. Albany's troubled life seen from his only daughter's perspectives were made into a film entitled 'Low Down', which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival to critical and public acclaim. Some of the music used in the movie was from Joe's first release on SteepleChase, 1972's 'Birdtown Bird'.

    Personnel: Joe Albany (piano)
