Back Home is an album by American jazz pianist Phineas Newborn Jr. recorded in 1976 but not released on the Contemporary label until 1985.[1][2]
Reception
[edit]The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "the brilliant but ill pianist is reunited with the rhythm team that he had recorded with in 1969. Actually, despite his health problems, Newborn was always superlative on records, and his playing on five straight-ahead standards (including "No Moon at All" and "Love for Sale") and three of his originals is excellent".[3]
