Tribute to Harold Mabern

I was listening to this album the other day, performed by a quartet featuring the late great jazz pianist at PizzaExpress in SOHO London. I vaguely recalled I considered going there or Ronnie Scott's for jazz during my 1998 visit. Not 100% sure which one I went as I didn't write about this in my old post. I suspect I chose the latter since I would have found it too weird for a pizza place to be a jazz club as well. And I just realized this is the brand that our family (oh well, one of the member) like in Hong Kong. In fact, my buddy ordered to-go from it earlier in the year for the party at his place. Of course, the PizzaExpress restaurants in Hong Kong do not feature live jazz.
