Review
Toshiko Mariano Quartet (Candid). A husband-and-wife team — Saxophonist Charlie Mariano and Japanese Pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi — in one of the year's most successful exercises for small combo. Akiyoshi has developed into a pianist of extraordinary fire and fluency, and Mariano displays — particularly in his remarkable reading of Deep River — a warm, lyric tone that flows like honey from the horn. Nothing in the album is better than Akiyoshi's own Long Yellow Road, a wistful musical memory of the long, straight roads back home in Manchuria.
