John Wright Trio - Nice 'N' Tasty

John Wright and his trio of Wendell Marshall and J.C.
Heard embody the soulful Chicago sound of the early
1960s. New Land are honoured to be able to present this
stunning record for the first time globally since it’s initial
release. Mastered directly from the original tapes by
Kevin Gray and housed in deluxe reverse-board
packaging, featuring a photographic print with a
previously unseen image of Wright from the South Side
Story photo sessions by Esmond Edwards. This is a
must have for any collection.
Truly one of the most underrated pianists of the early
1960s, who’s run of albums on Prestige have gained in
stature over the years. Mixing a blend of soulful hard bop
with a swinging Chicago edge, these recordings are to
be treasured.
His last album for Prestige was released in 1965 (having
been recorded in ’61) before Wright disappeared into
obscurity, performing on the Chicago club scene and
working as a librarian at the Cook County Jail, Chicago
from the mid-1980s until 1999. Nice ’N’ Tasty was his
second release for Prestige and a sublime collection of
songs. Including four originals, the set was engineered
by the great Rudy Van Gelder and supervised by
Esmond Edwards.
