Well-rooted in the tradition of Bud Powell, Phineas Newborn Jr.., and Oscar Peterson, Markley's playing and compositions explore the history while always looking forward. The album's one standard, \"But Beautiful,\" gets a delicate treatment by Markley, while the opening track, \"5-20,\" displays his compositional strengths and piano prowess. \"Ben Markley convincingly demonstrates his potential to impact the jazz scene for years to come.\" - Jazz Improv NY.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 5-20 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Dry \u003cbr\u003e1.3 One for Cedar \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The 9th One's Free \u003cbr\u003e1.5 But Beautiful - Ben Markley, Vanheusen, Jimmy \u003cbr\u003e1.6 As It Comes \u003cbr\u003e1.7 And the Wind Came \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Two to Go\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
