FOR THE FIRST TIME ON CD
His associates here on 'Black Cat' all display considerable skill and panache and achieve a remarkable empathy on all of Monty's six original tunes. through the set guitarist Yoshiaki Masuo, bassist Ronnie Boykins and drummer George Avaloz achieve a rare intimacy as they weave in and out of the proceedings to startling effect. Waters' very personal alto is airy, floating and fluid. His playing has a plaintive, bluesy quality which just grows on you and this recording by this gentle, witty and unique artist is one of Masahiko Yuh's most successful 'Why Mot' productions.
