Ralph Sharon - Trio

Release date 2013

Sharon was one of England’s finest jazz pianists before moving in the early 1950s to the United States, where he would work with such jazz and pop headliners as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Mel Torme and Rosemary Clooney. A bandleader, composer and arranger, he also recorded two dozen albums with Kenny Clarke, Charles Mingus, Milt Hinton, Jo Jones and other noted artists.

His most enduring association, however, was the one he forged in 1957 with Tony Bennett.
