Stan Tracey/Dave O'Higgins/Mark Armstrong/Andrew Cleyndert/Clark Tracey

'Does anyone here realise just how good this guy is?' said Sonny Rollins of Tracey once after being backed by Tracey at Ronnie Scott's. Tracey's quirky, percussive piano style and his off-kilter compositions owe much to Thelonius Monk and they are always compelling live. Here he leads a top-noth quintet featuring stellar tenorist O'Higgins and trumpeter Armstrong.
