Kenny Burrell • Soul Call

 



Review
by Scott Yanow
Guitarist Kenny Burrell alternates blues and ballads on this swinging quintet set with pianist Will Davis, bassist Martin Rivera, drummer Bill English, and Ray Barretto on congas. The music is melodic and boppish, although no real surprises occur. By this time, Burrell was a very respectful player, upholding the tradition rather than offering any real innovations.

El guitarrista Kenny Burrell alterna blues y baladas en este conjunto de quinteto con el pianista Will Davis, el bajista Martin Rivera, el baterista Bill English y Ray Barretto en las congas. La música es melódica y bopista, aunque no se producen verdaderas sorpresas. A estas alturas, Burrell era un músico muy respetuoso, que mantenía la tradición en lugar de ofrecer verdaderas innovaciones.

Tomasz Stanko • September Night

 



Review from Jazz Journal (by Kevin Whitehead):
For many, trumpeter Stanko will always be associated with free improvisation, although he always retained a melodic element which singled him out from the pack. On September Night the music has structure, almost totally eliminating any nod towards more chaotic realms. All the compositions are Stanko's own, apart from Kaetano, a joint effort from the group which turns into a joyous romp, also displaying the trumpeter's prodigious technique. Many of the themes are taken down a Latinesque route, leading to a lot of genuine excitement which is barely evident in the audience response in this recording from Munich's Muffathalle. The trumpeter is at the top of his game from the opening Hermento's Mood where he unveils his natural lyricism, including half notes and impressive flurries. The following slower-paced Song For Sarah creates an equally impactful atmosphere, featuring the impressive empathy of the group and its undoubted creativity.

Resena de Jazz Journal (por Kevin Whitehead):
Para muchos, el trompetista Stanko estara siempre asociado con la improvisacion libre, aunque siempre conservo un elemento melodico que lo distinguio del resto. En September Night la musica tiene estructura, eliminando casi por completo cualquier guino hacia los ambitos mas caoticos. Todas las composiciones son del propio Stanko, excepto Kaetano, un esfuerzo conjunto del grupo que se convierte en un alegre paseo, mostrando tambien la prodigiosa tecnica del trompetista. Muchos de los temas toman una via latinesca, lo que lleva a una gran emocion que apenas se percibe en la respuesta del publico en esta grabacion de la Muffathalle de Munich. El trompetista esta en la cima de su juego desde el inicial Hermento's Mood, donde despliega su lirismo natural, incluyendo medias notas e impresionantes oleadas de notas. El siguiente Song For Sarah, de tempo mas lento, crea una atmosfera igualmente impactante, destacando la impresionante empatia del grupo y su indudable creatividad.

Sonny Red • Out Of The Blue

 



Review
by Scott Yanow
Sonny Red, a fine altoist inspired by Charlie Parker and Jackie McLean, never really made it in jazz, and some of his recordings are rather uninspired. However, that does not hold true for his Blue Note album, which has been reissued on this 1996 CD along with five previously unissued selections. Red, who is joined by pianist Wynton Kelly, either Sam Jones or Paul Chambers on bass, and either Roy Brooks or Jimmy Cobb on drums, never sounded better on records. He performs mostly little-known standards (along with six of his originals) and displays a fair amount of originality and a great deal of potential that was never really fulfilled. Recommended.

Sonny Red, un fino contralto inspirado en Charlie Parker y Jackie McLean, nunca llegó a triunfar en el jazz, y algunas de sus grabaciones son más bien poco inspiradas. Sin embargo, no es el caso de su álbum para Blue Note, que se ha reeditado en este CD de 1996 junto con cinco selecciones inéditas. Red, al que acompañan el pianista Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones o Paul Chambers al bajo, y Roy Brooks o Jimmy Cobb a la batería, nunca ha sonado mejor en un disco. Interpreta en su mayoría estándares poco conocidos (junto con seis de sus originales) y muestra una buena dosis de originalidad y un gran potencial que nunca llegó a explotar. Recomendado.
