2009 live album by John Hicks
I Remember You is a live solo album by pianist John Hicks which was recorded in 2006 shortly before Hick's death and released on the HighNote label.[ 1] The album was released posthumously in 2009.
Reception
Allmusic reviewed the album stating "An underrated genius of jazz piano if ever there was one, Hicks died before reaping the ultimate rewards and high praise he deserved, so this CD not only reflects a certain melancholy, but celebrates what an original jazz interpreter he truly was... Where Hicks was primarily an ensemble performer, it's good to hear him alone and together with his beloved piano, making subtle and substantive music from the heart".[ 2]
