ANY DAY THAT YOU GET to hear jazz pianist Harold Mabern is a great day, and on his new release, Right On Time, you get two of those days with his trio distilled into one irresistible record. The recording weekend was a 77th birthday party, after all, and the extra energy on these tracks is unmistakable showcasing the complete Mabern experience. Right On Time delivers everything from classic blues and swinging standards to delicate ballads and modal tempests. There are definitely all the makings of a new classic here, an important addition to the Harold Mabern discography. 

"At the age of 77, Mabern shows no signs of slowing down."
