As well as being a mainstay on stage as an incomparable rhythm player, Pettiford was also an accomplished and equally influential composer. Albums such as Oscar Pettiford (1954) and Volume 2 (1956) boasted pieces such as “Tricotism” and “Bohemia After Dark”, respectively, which illuminated Pettiford’s innovative arrangements and adventurous melodic expression.
