Glass Enclosure

• Track Listing

The impressionistic Bud Powell composition "Glass Enclosure" is the point of departure for pianist Rob Schneiderman's exciting new release. Schneiderman is joined by the legendary alto saxophonist Charles McPherson, bassist Todd Coolman and drummer Leroy Williams. McPherson is featured on six of the selections which include two Schneiderman originals, "Reunion" and "Ready Or Not," Bud Powell's "Buster Rides Again," "Fine & Dandy," "Cocktails for Two" and an exquisite duo rendition of "Embraceable You. " Schneiderman and the rhythm section explore the complexities of the title tune along with the pianist's original blues "Bluegenes," Gigi Gryce's "Social Call," and Charlie Parker's "Yardbird Suite.
