Claude Williamson • Hallucinations

Review by Scott Yanow

For his V.S.O.P. release, veteran pianist Claude Williamson performs six Bud Powell compositions, plus six other standards that the innovative bop pianist enjoyed playing. With the assistance of bassist Dave Carpenter and drummer Paul Kreibich, Williamson displays both the Powell influence and his own approach to bebop piano. The music always swings, has enough surprises to hold on to one's interest, and shows that Claude Williamson (who has been somewhat underrated through the years) was still in prime form four decades after his initial recognition. Highlights of this easily recommended disc include "Hallucinations," "Bud's Bubble," "Parisian Thoroughfare," and "Bouncing With Bud."

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Para su lanzamiento V.S.O.P., el veterano pianista Claude Williamson interpreta seis composiciones de Bud Powell, además de otros seis estándares que el innovador pianista de bop disfrutaba tocando. Con la ayuda del bajista Dave Carpenter y el baterista Paul Kreibich, Williamson muestra tanto la influencia de Powell como su propio enfoque del piano bebop. La música siempre se balancea, tiene suficientes sorpresas para mantener el interés, y muestra que Claude Williamson (que ha sido algo infravalorado a lo largo de los años) seguía en plena forma cuatro décadas después de su reconocimiento inicial. Lo más destacado de este disco, fácilmente recomendable, incluye "Hallucinations", "Bud's Bubble", "Parisian Thoroughfare" y "Bouncing With Bud".

Ernest Ranglin • In Search of the Lost Riddim

 

Jamaican jazz guitarist Ernest Ranglin, at 66 years old, is more adventurous than most musicians half his age. Few could travel to Senegal and record with Baaba Maal and his band, Daande Lenol. Fewer still could make such a successful melding of styles. The secret is that Ranglin becomes a part of the band, trading licks with the kora, letting the others speak loudly, then adding his own distinctive voice to the proceedings. This is very definitely an "African" album, highlighted by some wonderful writing (Maal's "Minuit," in particular, is a standout) and marvelous playing. Ranglin is at the top of his form; he doesn't need long solos to make his point. He's taken his music to the roots, and in doing so, has invigorated himself. An unadulterated delight.
