"Despite the respect accorded to him by contemporary musicians and fans in the know, organist Billy Gardner remains one of the most underrated jazz musicians for a player of his calibre. This is primarily due to the brevity of his career, which was cut short by Gardner's premature death caused by an asthma attack in Chicago during the '70s. The organist's sparse discography consists of only 13 different live concert or studio sessions recorded between 1960 and 1968, of which his sessions with Donaldson are among his best." - from the liner notes.
