Work!


Work! is an album by jazz pianist Mulgrew Miller, featuring Charnett Moffett on bass and Terri Lyne Carrington on drums. The album was recorded on April 23–24, 1986, and released later that year by Landmark Records. The album is named after the song "Work" by Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins, from their 1954 album Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins.

Reception

of Allmusic noted: "Made about the time he left Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers to go out on his own, Mulgrew Miller's second date as a leader matches his modern mainstream modal style with bassist Charnett Moffett and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington. Once again, the repertoire is a mixture of Miller originals, jazz standards and an unaccompanied piano solo. And once again, the set is recommended to fans of 1980s/'90s jazz piano".
