Milt Buckner - Locked Hands album flac

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.

Innovative pianist and organist Milt Buckner originated the "locked hands" technique, emulated by his and future generations from George Shearing to Red Garland to Oscar Peterson and beyond. This album features Buckner with an all-star rhythm section of bassist Jimmy Woode, a Duke Ellington alumnus, and great swing drummer Jo Jones of the Count Basie Orchestra. Buckner’s Play Chords won the Hot Club de France’s prestigious Grand Prix de Jazz for the best album of 1967. No wonder: Jimmy Woode, bassist on some of the greatest Duke Ellington recordings of the 50’s, and the legendary Jo Jones, engine of the Count Basie Orchestra, and arguably the greatest drummer of the Swing Era, were along for the ride. Feeling Sorta Villingen, Chitline A La Carte, Hamp’s Boogie Woogie, and Saba House Party are all blues pieces by Buckner. The first two are mastered in medium tempo.

Locked hands style is a technique of chord voicing for the piano. Popularized by the jazz pianist George Shearing, it is a way to implement the "block chord" method of harmony on a keyboard instrument. The locked hands technique requires the pianist to play the melody using both hands in unison. The right hand plays a 4-note chord inversion in which the melody note is the highest note in the voicing
