Toys

Toys is the second album by pianist Uri Caine featuring four compositions by Herbie Hancock which was first released on the JMT label in 1995. Reception In her review for Allmusic, Heather Phares said "Toys continues Uri Caine's integration of disparate styles into jazz... his technical brilliance and mercurial style shine". Writing for All About Jazz, Robert R. Calder said "neither the most spontaneous nor always the most profound. Technical accomplishment it does have in spades, however".
