"Handscapes" is a double live album by The Piano Choir featuring Stanley Cowell, Nat Jones, Hugh Lawson, Webster Lewis, Harold Mabern, Danny Mixon, and Sonelius Smith recorded in 1972
At the time of release Ebony reviewer Phyl Garland said »One needn't be a 'piano freak' to appreciate a truly new recording
First of all imagine seven gifted and talented pianists sitting down to seven grand pianos (with electric piano, organ, harpsichord, a few tambourines for spice) and proceeding to tear up these instruments - musically, that is. ... the torrrent of sound springing from their 70 fingers is so powerful and majestic as to be unlike anything one has ever heard«
In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos simply states »Brilliant!«
