Details: Jazz pianist Lafayette Harris Jr. Presents a new recording that promises to uphold the high standards set with his 2023 album "Swingin' Up in Harlem." That record earned some serious ink, with All About Jazz calling it "top-dollar... it simply does not get much better than this." Here, Lafayette's back in the Van Gelder Studio, this time with Jeremy Pelt, one of the most in-demand jazz trumpeters-voted Rising Star on trumpet for five straight years by both DownBeat and the Jazz Journalists Association, and praised for his melodic, post-bop approach that blends familiar elements with a cutting-edge musical vocabulary. But Lafayette has brought another of his friends to the party-Houston Person, the distinguished senior statesman of the tenor saxophone, who sits in on one track. This is a man whose decades of deeply personal playing, accompanying, and mentorship have shaped the sound of jazz today. His contribution to the session is not just noteworthy, it's what some might call "an event." With this remarkable lineup, Lafayette Harris Jr.'s "All in Good Time" is like a detailed map across a musical landscape. Jazz fans attuned to both tradition and originality will find that this recording flows like a river through the music's history-vibrant, alive, and full of surprises.
