It wouldn't be fare to accuse all jazz cats of overlooking Albert Dailey, but many are guilty of it. One of often unsung greats everyone should know about but few seem to namecheck enough, 'Renaissance' is one of just five full-length albums from a career that lasted over 30 years, so you can add the phrase 'under-recorded' to the list of regrets. Laid down in 1977, four years after his debut full length arrived, for those who do count themselves in the fan club this is not just seminal Dailey but seminal jazz. Expressive, overflowing with emotion and yet also delightfully playful, it veers between freeform segments, such as the closing sections of 'Mr Pogo', to the sophisticated, sensual piano solo of 'Autumn Rain', which brings this display of musical prowess to a grand- or rather intimate- finale.
