Jimmy Rowles - Subtle Legend Vol 1
Review by Brett Hetherington
Subtle Legend is a jazz album by the late American pianist and composer Jimmy Rowles. Released in 1992, the album features Rowles' unique style of jazz piano playing, which is characterized by his delicate touch, intricate phrasing, and soulful improvisations.
The album opens with the upbeat and swinging "The Peacocks," a composition by Rowles that showcases his nimble fingers and impeccable timing. The following track, "I'm Old Fashioned," is a beautiful ballad that highlights Rowles' sensitive and lyrical playing.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Midnight Sun," a hauntingly beautiful piece that features Rowles' emotive playing, and "In a Sentimental Mood," a classic Duke Ellington composition that Rowles interprets with his own unique style.
