One of the most valued of all hard bop accompanists, Cedar Walton is a versatile pianist whose funky touch and cogent melodic sense has graced the recordings of many of jazz's greatest players. He is also one of the music's more underrated composers; although he has always been a first-rate interpreter of standards, Walton wrote a number of excellent tunes ("Mosaic," "Ugetsu," and "Bolivia," to name a few) that found their way into Art Blakey's book during the pianist's early-'60s stint with the Jazz Messengers (playing alongside Freddie Hubbard and Wayne Shorter.) Walton went on to serve as Abbey Lincoln's accompanist and made records with Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley and many more.  Since the '70's right up until today Walton has led his own groups.  At Yoshi's Walton will will be accompanied by Steve Nelson, Eric Alexander and more.
