Morning (Kenny Drew album)

Morning is an album by American pianist Kenny Drew recorded in 1975 and released on SteepleChase Records in 1976. The album was first issued on CD in 1987 with a slightly different cover. "An Evening in the Park" is about an early spring, peaceful bicycling through Copenhagen's Fælledparken, a park not far from Drew's home back then. "Morning" was originally written for three instruments, but in the studio Pedersen suggested that Drew and Philip Catherine should try it as a duo.[3]
