Sir Charles Thompson- Robbins' Nest, Live At The Jazz Showcase
Thompson's August 1999 engagement at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago was an unexpected gift - the 82-year-old pianist, a mainstay on New York's dynamic 52nd Street scene in the 1940s & '50s, hadn't appeared in Chicago since 1941 when he was a member of Lionel Hampton's first band; on this live recording, his trio contains tenor sax man Eric Schnieder & trumpeter Art Hoyle.
Tracklist:
- Robbins Nest
- 'S Wonderful
- Tunis in (Tune Us In)
- You Don't Know What Love Is
- Body and Soul
- Boogie Woogie, A
- Stuffy
- Easy Living
- King, The
- Blue and Sentimental
- I Never Knew
- Goodbye
