Seasoned Wood is an album by pianist Cedar Walton which was recorded in 2008 and released on the Highnote label.[1]
Allmusic reviewed the album stating "At 74, Walton is as promising and as dizzying a bandleader as ever. His command of the hard bop and post-bop languages and his abilities to reinterpret well-known standards authoritatively are all remarkable... In sum, Seasoned Wood is a true and exceptional highlight in Walton's career".[2] All About Jazz observed "The title Seasoned Wood may successfully riff on the artist's name and the artistry he brings to the occasion, but as anyone with a fireplace knows, seasoned wood burns hotter and better than regular wood. Indeed, Cedar Walton does so here".[3] JazzTimes called it "primarily a take-no-prisoners quintet date".[4]
