About
'Blues For Myself' remains one of the most recommended albums of hard-bop pianist Cedar Walton's illustrious career, which took off in the late fifties with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Now, from the same session, we have 'More Blues For Myself', a programme of seven alternate takes plus a bonus track ('Without A Song') from the original album. Cedar Walton: solo piano Recorded at Barigozzi Studio, Milan, February 1986 Original session produced by Alberto Alberti & Sergio Veschi "Although always a hard bop stylist, Walton was never just a one-handed pianist, and this superior release does not find him or listeners missing a bassist or drummer. Recommended." - Scott Yanow, AllMusic

It's Walton's own crisp and crunchy playing that's singled out here… There's sufficient variety to make a listenable programme, and the fact these were all re-done for the original issue could hardly be guessed by listening to the present album.
