FAQ

What is special about the line-up?
Instead of a horn, Philip Catherine's guitar partners the piano. Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen was one of Drew's most frequent partners during his Copenhagen years.

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1983 Italian first edition on Soul Note, cat. no. SN 1081.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) for the record means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG+ (Very Good Plus) for the sleeve means light wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Kenny Drew records?
At the moment this is our only Kenny Drew title. More piano jazz, for example by Tete Montoliu or Keith Jarrett, is in our Jazz collection.
