Milt Buckner - Locked Hands flac album

Piano – Milt Buckner. Producer – Willi Fruth. Recorded: Cologne, Aug. 1968. Locked Hands ‎(LP, Album, RE). MPS Records, BASF.

Innovative pianist and organist Milt Buckner originated the "locked hands" technique which lends this album its title. His method of playing has been emulated by his and future generations, from George Shearing to Red Garland to Oscar Peterson and beyond. Locked Hands, the second of the trio albums Buckner recorded for German label MPS, was released in 1968 and showcases the keyboardist playing four pieces on piano and four on organ. His signature "locked hands" approach is most apparent on the opening song Glady’s Dance, with piano, bass and drums trading fours and eights.

Locked Hands is the second of the MPS Milt Buckner trio albums. Ellington bassist Jimmy Woode is back, and English drummer Kenny Clare takes over Jo Jones’ seat. This set has the particular pleasure of Buckner playing four pieces on piano and four on organ. Glady’s Dance displays Buckner’s inimitable locked hands technique, with piano bass and drums trading fours and eights on the way back to the theme. Jersey Bounce, the WWII hit that Benny Goodman brought to on the charts, is taken on in like manner
