1998 studio album by John Hicks
Hicks Time is an album of solo performances by jazz pianist John Hicks .
Music and recording [ edit ]
All but two of the compositions are by Hicks.[ 1] The other two – "Reminds Me" and "Jest a Little" – were by Oliver Lake , who was also the album's co-producer,[ 2] along with Richard Franklin.[ 3] "Redd's Blues" is a tribute to pianist Freddie Redd .[ 1]
Release and reception [ edit ]
The album was released by Passin' Thru Records,[ 4] around 1998.[ 3] Hicks' playing was described by the JazzTimes reviewer as ranging "from the lush 19th century Romantic tradition through the vast-American-plains spaciousness of Aaron Copland , while also ingeniously incorporating the swinging phrasing of classic jazz and the challenging twists and turns of post-bop, as epitomized by longtime influence John Coltrane ."[ 1]
