Willie “The Lion” Smith was one of the great Harlem stride piano masters — a towering figure whose influence on Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk is well documented. On California Here I Come, released in 1971 on Bob Thiele’s Flying Dutchman label, he is joined by the gifted young pianist Mike Lipskin for a joyful and swinging exploration of classic jazz and ragtime repertoire. A warm, intimate record that bridges the stride tradition with the early 70s jazz revival, this US original gatefold pressing is a genuine find for collectors of classic jazz piano.
