The Larry Eanet Quartet featuring Ron Hocket: Sunset Stomp
Larry Eanet: Piano/arranger Ron Hockett: Clarinet, tenor and soprano saxophones Tommy Cecil: Bass Harold Summey Jr.: Drums Larry Eanet is, as Barbara Lea has called him and your ears will confirm, "a world class pianist." He is also one of the best kept secrets in jazz, though this wonderful CD should go a long way to changing all that. Lucidity, elegance, a highly developed sense of form and, above all, a swinging lyricism and contagious joyfulness are the hallmarks of his playing. Featured on reeds is the brilliant multi-instrumentalist, Ron Hockett, who is equally compelling on clarinet, soprano and tenor saxophones. He has an approach to his instruments that I find utterly irresistible and leaves me saying "Ron, I want to hear some more, man!" —From the album notes of Ross Firestone, author of the award winning Swing, Swing, Swing: The Life and Times of Benny Goodman.
