Bob Brookmeyer • Traditionalism Revisited



 Review by Scott Yanow
This Pacific Jazz album is a bit unusual. Bob Brookmeyer (on valve trombone and piano), Jimmy Giuffre (switching between clarinet, baritone and tenor), guitarist Jim Hall, either Joe Benjamin or Ralph Pena on bass and drummer Dave Bailey perform eight songs from the 1920s and '30s including some obscurities. While these selections have occasionally been revived by Dixieland and swing bands, Brookmeyer and his group use harmonies that were modern for the 1950s to update such tunes as "Louiaiana," "Truckin'," "Honeysuckle Rose" and even "Santa Claus Blues." Because the musicians have a respect for the older styles, they extend rather than break the tradition; the results are quite enjoyable.

 Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este álbum de Pacific Jazz es un poco inusual. Bob Brookmeyer (en el trombón de válvulas y el piano), Jimmy Giuffre (cambiando entre el clarinete, el barítono y el tenor), el guitarrista Jim Hall, Joe Benjamin o Ralph Pena en el bajo y el baterista Dave Bailey interpretan ocho canciones de los años 20 y 30 incluyendo algunas obscuridades. Aunque estas selecciones han sido revividas ocasionalmente por bandas de Dixieland y swing, Brookmeyer y su grupo utilizan armonías que eran modernas para los años 50 para actualizar melodías como "Louiaiana", "Truckin'", "Honeysuckle Rose" e incluso "Santa Claus Blues". Como los músicos respetan los estilos más antiguos, amplían la tradición en lugar de romperla; los resultados son bastante agradables.
