about

Kirk Lightsey; HOME PIANO (RR-22). Grabación inédita de piano solo, que captura al gran músico de Detroit en una tarde de noviembre de 2012, en Buenos Aires. La atmósfera íntima y relajada de la sesión, junto al majestuoso sonido del piano Fazioli F308, generan el marco propicio para que la música surja con agradable espontaneidad.

Kirk Lightsey, uno de los últimos pianistas de una época maravillosa; irrepetible. Ello, tanto por la calidad y cantidad de músicos que la protagonizaron, como por lo que el ambiente del jazz generaba y significaba (particularmente, quizás, para los músicos afroamericanos). Kirk fue integrante estable del cuarteto de Dexter Gordon, y ha tocado con TODOS: Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt, Kenny Burrell, Benny Golson, Woody Shaw, Harold Land, Blue Mitchell, Louis Hayes, Clifford Jordan, Don Moye, James Moody, David “Fathead” Newman, Jimmy Raney, David Murray, James Clay, Sonny Fortune, Chico Freeman, Billy Pierce, Ricky Ford, Harold Danko, Attila Zoller, Rufus Reid, Santi Debriano, Marcus Belgrave, Javon Jackson, Mark Whitfield, Steve Nelson……


Kirk Lightsey; HOME PIANO (RR-22). Previously unreleased solo piano recording, capturing the great Detroit musician on a November 2012 afternoon in Buenos Aires. The intimate and relaxed atmosphere of the session added to the majestic sound of the Fazioli F308 grand piano, generate the right frame for the music to emerge with pleasant spontaneity.

Kirk Lightsey, one of the last pianists of a wonderful, unrepeatable era; due both to the quality and quantity of the musicians involved, and what the jazz environment generated and meant (particularly, perhaps, for African-American musicians). Kirk served as stable member of Dexter Gordon's quartet, and has played with EVERYONE: Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt, Kenny Burrell, Benny Golson, Woody Shaw, Harold Land, Blue Mitchell, Louis Hayes, Clifford Jordan, Don Moye, James Moody, David “Fathead” Newman, Jimmy Raney, David Murray, James Clay, Sonny Fortune, Chico Freeman, Billy Pierce, Ricky Ford, Harold Danko, Attila Zoller, Rufus Reid, Santi Debriano, Marcus Belgrave, Javon Jackson, Mark Whitfield, Steve Nelson……
