Billy Taylor • Evergreens

Review by Scott Yanow

Billy Taylor has recorded so many albums since the early '50s that it is difficult to call any particular one definitive or essential. This long out of print effort is a pleasing affair, matching Taylor with bassist Earl May and drummer Percy Brice. As usual, Taylor's technique is flawless, his interpretations swinging, and his performances full of enthusiasm and joy. He sticks to veteran standards, alternating ballads with medium-tempo romps. Highlights include "Cheek to Cheek," "All the Things You Are," "You Don't Know What Love Is," and "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea." This worthwhile effort, however, will be a difficult LP to locate.

Billy Taylor ha grabado tantos álbumes desde principios de los años 50 que es difícil llamar a uno en particular definitivo o esencial. Este largo esfuerzo descatalogado es un asunto agradable, que une a Taylor con el bajista Earl May y el baterista Percy Brice. Como de costumbre, la técnica de Taylor es impecable, sus interpretaciones se balancean y sus actuaciones están llenas de entusiasmo y alegría. Se apega a los estándares de los veteranos, alternando baladas con retoques de tempo medio. Los puntos destacados incluyen "Mejilla a mejilla", "Todas las cosas que eres", "No sabes lo que es el amor" y "Entre el diablo y el mar azul profundo". Este esfuerzo que vale la pena, sin embargo, será un LP difícil de localizar.
