Mabern reunites with the legendary drummer Jimmy, two world-renowned former students—Eric Alexander and Freddie Hendrix, swinging bassist Nat Reeves, and the incredible percussionist and master colorist Cyro Baptista. On his latest album, "To Love and Be Loved", Harold Mabern is joined by a multigenerational band that brings together one of his legendary peers with some of his most acclaimed former students—all of whom play with the same love and respect that Mabern has shared with them over the years.
