Review: American-Danish jazz pianist Kenny Drew grew up in the US, but he truly took flight as a prominent artist after relocating to Copenhagen in the 60s where he argued he was able to enjoy more freedom as an artist than if he had stayed in New York. Dark Beauty arrived in 1974 in the midst of a prolific run as Drew settled into his stride with Danish label SteepleChase. The trio is completed by Albert Heath on drums and close collaborator Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen on bass, and stands proud as one of the great examples of Drew’s talents at their peak.
