The Mastersounds • The Mastersounds Play Compositions By Horace Silver



Review by Scott Yanow
The Mastersounds (Buddy Montgomery on vibes, electric bassist Monk Montgomery, pianist Richard Crabtree and drummer Benny Barth) explore six Horace Silver tunes on this obscure but worthy LP. They were at the height of their success at the time (the quartet would break up in 1961) and sound in fine form on "Nica's Dream," "Doodlin'" and four lesser-known Silver songs. Excellent music that was endorsed by Horace Silver himself; he even wrote the liner notes.



Artist Biography by Scott Yanow
Vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery and electric bassist Monk Montgomery (1921-1982) came together to form the Mastersounds (a melodic and easy listening bop group) with pianist Richie Crabtree and drummer Benny Barth in 1957. The band caught on for a few years, cutting ten records in four years for Pacific Jazz, World Pacific, and Fantasy. Wes Montgomery appeared on one of their 1958 albums, a set of songs from the play Kismet. After the group disbanded in 1961, they had a brief reunion in 1965. The two Montgomery brothers had numerous opportunities to play with their more famous sibling under Wes' leadership throughout the 1960s.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Los Mastersounds (Buddy Montgomery en vibraciones, el bajista eléctrico Monk Montgomery, el pianista Richard Crabtree y el baterista Benny Barth) exploran seis temas de Horace Silver en este oscuro pero digno LP. Estaban en la cúspide de su éxito (el cuarteto se disolvería en 1961) y suenan muy bien en "Nica's Dream", "Doodlin'" y cuatro canciones de plata menos conocidas. Excelente música que fue respaldada por el propio Horace Silver; incluso escribió las notas del disco.


Biografía del artista por Scott Yanow
El vibrafonista Buddy Montgomery y el bajista eléctrico Monk Montgomery (1921-1982) se unieron para formar el Mastersounds (un grupo de bop melódico y fácil de escuchar) con el pianista Richie Crabtree y el baterista Benny Barth en 1957. La banda se impuso durante unos años, grabando diez discos en cuatro años para Pacific Jazz, World Pacific y Fantasy. Wes Montgomery apareció en uno de sus álbumes de 1958, un conjunto de canciones de la obra de teatro Kismet. Después de la disolución del grupo en 1961, tuvieron una breve reunión en 1965. Los dos hermanos Montgomery tuvieron numerosas oportunidades de jugar con su hermano más famoso bajo el liderazgo de Wes durante la década de 1960.
