Movin' & Groovin'

Horace Parlan

Recorded in 1960 for Blue Note, the album features Sam Jones and Al Harewood on a steady foundation. The pianist avoids unnecessary complexity, opting instead for a soulful, percussive style that swings with ease.

This session captures an intimate snapshot of a musician finding his own direction during a golden age for the label. It stands as a study in economy, providing a clear example of hard bop fundamentals without the need for ornamental flash.
