Listener Reviews & Comments Michael Weiss is yet another underrated and relatively unknown piano player in New York. This is a superb and sublime album, which is greatly enhanced by the virtuosity of Eric Alexander's powerful tenor. Weiss played for 10 years with Johnny Griffin and has mastered the art of mixing with a strong horn. To his credit, Weiss really lets Alexander dominate the album. Weiss's playing is linked to the great bop masters, like Bud Powell, and when he solos the piano sings. It is too bad that he has not put out an album in more than 10 years. This album is a must-have for the Summer and is well worth the extra dollars as an import. You will not be able to take it off your CD player.
