Born on Christmas Eve in Philadelphia, 1961, Ray Bryant began picking out tunes on the piano at the tender age of six. His mother, an accomplished pianist gave him his first lessons before he moved on to other teachers and finally joined the local musicians union at fourteen! He quickly became the house pianist at the Blue Note club in Philadelphia where he says he made more money than his piano teachers! Finally he headed out on tour with his trio supporting vocalist Carmen McCrea and in 1958 joined the Jo Jones Trio. On our four fine selections Ray can be heard solo, with orchestral accompaniment and alongside players like his brother Tom, Kenny Clarke, Jo Jones and Osie Johnson. Other greats he has played with include Sonny Rollins, Charlie Shavers, Curtis Fuller and Ella Fitzgerald.
