Genre: Jazz piano
Places I remember: JB Hi-Fi (Palmerston North)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Gone Country
Gear costume: Open House (sounding a bit like a Vince Guaraldi tune)
Active compensatory factors: This has a lot of things going for it - a brilliant recording by engineer Graeme Myhre, memorable compositions, and superb playing by Frank Gibson (drums), Andy Brown (bass) and Murray (piano).

It really pops! Take a listen to the drums and some fantastic cymbal work on Persian Cowboy (composed by Gibson) - a superb sound!
I don't know the back story to the cover image but I'd say this album is a tribute to that person (the 'you' in the title). There is a sadness and wistful tone to some of the songs here and in jazz, song titles reveal a lot. Here we have - Waiting For You, Letting Go, and Missing You.
That, along with the steady personnel, gives the album some unity and cohesiveness.
Where do they all belong? A great addition to the piano jazz sub genre in my collection. It stands as a fitting tribute to Murray's abilities - he passed away in 2013. More to come from him too as he was in Space Case which I'll get to in the jazz fusion genre eventually.
