Jazz Times raves, “Willis is an amazingly talented writer...a hardswinging
pianist and a fine creator of moods as a composer. He has surrounded himself with first-rate talent: Joe Ford, various
saxes; Ray Codrington, trumpet; Steve Novosel, bass; Steve
Berrios, drums; and the Rick Schmidt Strings.” Larry’s on-fire piano leads a soaring, swinging exploration of matters of the soul and spirit. Solo, quintet, and trio-with-strings settings showcase some of
Willis’ best-ever composing and arranging—and our best ever piano-with-strings sound.
One of Down Beat’s Best CDs of 2003.
