On Stomping At The Savoy, the definitive architect of swing-era keyboard refinement, American jazz piano icon Teddy Wilson, steps completely unaccompanied into the studio to deliver an exceptionally elegant, relaxed, and masterfully fluid solo document. Recorded in London in June 1967 and beautifully preserved on this pristine digital archive by Alan Bates’s legendary historical imprint Black Lion Records, this foundational milestone showcases the undisputed master of the elegant single-note style running through the core American songbook. Spanning over 48 minutes of immaculate high-fidelity spatial design, the 12-track landscape operates with a swinging, rhythmically light, and beautifully balanced kinetic energy. Wilson handles these timeless melodies with his legendary, aristocratic grace, firing off magnificent solo layouts like the title track stride workout Stomping At The Savoy, a gorgeous, fluidly moving take on Moonglow, and two fascinating, brilliant alternative tracking perspectives of Fats Waller's Honeysuckle Rose. Driven by his impeccable tenth-interval left-hand walking counterpoint and sparkling, crystal-clear right-hand lines, this pristine archive remains an indispensable masterpiece for serious swing purists and solo jazz piano collectors worldwide.
