{"product_id":"cedar-walton-maestro-with-special-guest-abbey-lincoln","title":"Cedar Walton- Maestro (With Special Guest Abbey Lincoln) (CD) (PREORDER)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing an extensive international tour, Cedar Walton and his quartet entered the studio in December 1980 at the height of their collective powers. The Maestro captures a band forged on the road-refined, intuitive, and deeply connected-delivering performances that balance precision with spontaneity. At the center is Walton's unmistakable voice as a composer and pianist, blending blues-rooted swing with harmonic depth and lyrical clarity. The program moves effortlessly between Walton originals and timeless standards, each rendered with elegance and purpose. A defining highlight is the presence of Abbey Lincoln, whose intimate and expressive vocal performances add a profound emotional dimension to the recording. Her collaboration with Walton elevates the title track into a poignant tribute that resonates beyond the moment. Featuring a masterful ensemble-Bob Berg (tenor saxophone), David Williams (bass), and Billy Higgins (drums)-The Maestro stands as a document of a working band at it's peak: cohesive, dynamic, and deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Digitally remastered in 2026, this reissue restores a vital chapter in Cedar Walton's legacy with renewed clarity and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Maestro 4:58 (Cedar Walton)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhythm-A-Ning 6:38 (Thelonious Monk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot in Love 3:30 (Cedar Walton)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSabi 6:22 (Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Sentimental Mood 6:50 (Duke Ellington, Manny Kurtz, Irving Mills)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Monk 4:49 (Thelonious Monk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastles 4:49 (Cedar Walton)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Trail 3:40 (Ferde Grofe)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 686647334403\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Squatty Roo Records\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47856392077533,"sku":"686647334403","price":111.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4512119-3586648.jpg?v=1777322673","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/products\/cedar-walton-maestro-with-special-guest-abbey-lincoln","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
