Childs got his first significant recognition during his six year tenure(1978-84)playing with the Freddie Hubbard Group.One of the fine pianists on today's circuit,is also a great orchestrator,arranger,and composer.In his dedication to Herbie Hancock's compositions,he infuses the tunes with superb small ensemble arrangements,giving new life to these already well established standards.The ingenious re-working of 'Toys',is a great example.It is a real testimonial of how much can be accomplished with great small ensemble arrangements.This is inspiring music.
