John Clayton Jazz

Still of the Night

(Review by Scott Yanow)
“This CD serves as a perfect introduction to the appealing bop-based style of guitarist Bruce Forman. Accompanied by bassist John Clayton and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath, Forman is heard in top form on such numbers as “In the Still of the Night,” “Cherokee,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face” and “Lady Be Good”; in addition, he contributed three diverse originals. Recommended to fans of straight-ahead jazz guitar.”
