Hollywood Jazz Beat / Take A Bryant Step Limited edition

While pianist Ray Bryant's most celebrated recordings were made with his trio, he also cut albums in other formats, such as Hollywood Jazz Beat (Columbia CS-8667), which showcases the pianist playing famous movie themes backed by an orchestra arranged and conducted by Richard Wess. It is also the case of our bonus album, Take a Bryant Step (Cadet LPS 801), presenting him with an orchestra arranged and conducted by Richard Evans. The latter LP appears here on CD for the first time ever!
