A superb slice of piano jazz from MPS, originally released on the Saba label in the 1960s. German pianist Dieter Reith leads a lively trio with Peter Witte on bass and the formidable Charly Antolini on drums, bringing a punchy rhythmic edge to the session. Original compositions sit alongside jazz standards, all delivered with an easy, spirited feel and the distinctive groove that has made MPS recordings favourites among international groove collectors. Highlights include Reith’s breezy “Happy Afternoon” and “How About A Blues”, alongside engaging versions of “Green Dolphin Street”, “Wives & Lovers” and “Days Of Wine And Roses”.
