"A thoroughly refreshing disc." Jersey Jazz
The second recording by the new Roger Kellaway Trio following last years outstanding debut Remembering Bobby Darin, Heroes is a tribute to the piano/bass/guitar trios of the past, including those led by Art Tatum, Nat Cole and, particularly, the great Oscar Peterson trios from the fifties that featured Ray Brown on bass and Barney Kessel & Herb Ellis on guitar. Most of the tunes here were recorded by Peterson, and his "Hymn to Freedom" is given a memorable performance. The "drumless" trio is Kellaways regular performing group and this trio, like the Peterson trios of the fifties, swings really, really hard!
