Stan Tracey

STAN TRACEY: Stan Tracey (1926) is an outstanding figure in the jazz world. His distinguished career has spanned six decades of flourishing creativity. Stan’s capricious piano playing combines the percussive melody of Thelonious Monk with the robust lyricism of Ellington in a highly idiosyncratic style. A master of harmony, he possesses a potent and compelling improviser’s intellect. Through Stan Tracey’s unflinching commitment and dedication has emerged a very rare artist who has sustained an output of highly exceptional music.
