Invitation is an album by pianist Kenny Barron, recorded in late 1990 and first released on the Dutch Criss Cross Jazz label.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
In his review on AllMusic, Stephen Cook stated: "Invitation finds Barron in full maturity as a writer and in the sympathetic company of tenor saxophonist Ralph Moore, bassist David Williams, and drummer Lewis Nash ... Throughout, Ralph Moore's choice tenor lines glide over the notes, Lewis Nash's tasteful drumming impressively anchors the group, and Barron's inventive solos ride atop the band in full stride. With great material, solid playing, and the full Criss Cross sound, Invitation ends up as one of Kenny Barron's finest outings of the 1990s".
