JOHN HICKS TRIO w/ IDRIS MUHHAMAD & RAY DRUMMONDE : IS THAT SO [Tidal Waves]

In the late 1980s, the renowned American jazz pianist, composer, and arranger John Hicks formed one of the most influential ensembles consisting out of musicians that had played music at the highest level all their lives and gained their status as both stand-alone artists and important sidemen. 
On this album, 'Is That So?' from 1991, the trio consists out of some of the biggest and best players in the jazz, funk and soul scenes: on piano we have the Atlanta based trio’s bandleader John Hicks, on drums we have the legendary Idris Muhhamad and on bass the well-respected Ray Drummond. The album was recorded at the legendary Studio 44 (Holland) in July 1990 and released on the Dutch label TIMELESS in 1991. On this amazing piece of work you’ll find ten majestic tracks (including an excellent Sonny Rollins cover-tune). The album was produced by John Hicks and Timeless Records owner Wim Wigt and is a remarkable outing of advanced musicianship by three jazz-giants in their prime, delivering an inspirational gem of an album. Is That So? sounds as successful, young and vibrant as ever!
