Jazz legend Cedar Walton recorded “Seasoned Wood” in 2008 at the ripe young age of 74. Of all the outstanding albums Walton has released as a leader, “Seasoned Wood” stands as one of his great achievements. Joined by longtime bandmates Vincent Herring on saxophones and Al Foster on drums, Walton takes charge on a nice mix of originals and standards. The two Walton originals Clockwise and John’s Blues are standouts from this great recording.
