About Album
With his long-time colleague, Eric Alexander, Mabern romps and stomps through an interesting repertoire of songs associated with, surprisingly enough, Sammy Davis Jr., for whose musicianship and his humanity the pianist has a great deal of respect and admiration. And it is the same type of musicianship and humanity which comes to the fore in Mr. Lucky, Harold Mabern's first recording as a leader for HighNote Records.

Comments
"The centerpiece of this album is a beautiful solo piano reading of “Hey There,” which should please fans of Mabern’s 2008 solo piano date, 'Misty'."
