Mose Allison • Local Color



Local Color is a revealing glimpse into Mose Allison's early days; the pianist/vocalist here runs through some bluesy ballads and a few mid-tempo swing numbers in a traditional trio setting. For the most part, Allison keeps it simple within a piano/bass/drums format, where he can execute a swinging solo such as on Duke Ellington's "Don't Ever Say Goodbye," or his own "Ain't You a Mess." Allison keeps it casual and swinging throughout. He employs his distinctly Southern vocal style on the gutbucket blues "Parchman Farm" and the New Orleans-flavored blues ballad "Lost Mind," and even pulls out his muted trumpet for "Trouble In Mind," a smoky ballad that would have made Miles Davis take note. For more recent fans of the Mississippi jazzman, these and the other songs featured on "Local Color" are plentiful reasons to explore the distant past of this musical legend.

Local Color es un vistazo revelador a los primeros días de Mose Allison; el pianista/vocalista recorre aquí algunas baladas de blues y algunos números de swing a medio tiempo en un entorno de trío tradicional. En su mayor parte, Allison mantiene la sencillez dentro de un formato de piano/bajo/batería, donde puede ejecutar un solo de swing como en "Don't Ever Say Goodbye" de Duke Ellington, o su propio "Ain't You a Mess". Allison mantiene un estilo desenfadado y con mucho swing. Emplea su estilo vocal claramente sureño en el blues gutbucket "Parchman Farm" y en la balada de blues con sabor a Nueva Orleans "Lost Mind", e incluso saca su trompeta silenciada para "Trouble In Mind", una balada humeante que habría hecho tomar nota a Miles Davis. Para los fans más recientes del jazzista de Mississippi, estas y las demás canciones que aparecen en "Local Color" son razones de sobra para explorar el pasado lejano de esta leyenda musical.
