Howard Alden • Take Your Pick



Review by Scott Yanow
Although best-known for his work in mainstream swing settings, guitarist Howard Alden has long been interested in later periods of jazz. On this superior outing, he doubles on seven-string acoustic and electric guitars (which allow him to add basslines). Lew Tabackin is on four of the ten numbers (three on tenor, one on flute) and pianist Renee Rosnes appears on six songs (including a duet with Alden on "Warm Valley"), while bassist Michael Moore and drummer Bill Goodwin are on seven. Alden takes "My Funny Valentine" and "After All" as unaccompanied solos but it is his meetings with Tabackin, particularly on exciting versions of two complex Herbie Nichols songs ("House Party Starting" and "The Gig") that are most notable. Recommended.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Aunque es más conocido por su trabajo en entornos de swing convencionales, el guitarrista Howard Alden lleva mucho tiempo interesado en los períodos posteriores del jazz. En este trabajo superior, dobla las guitarras acústicas y eléctricas de siete cuerdas (lo que le permite añadir líneas de bajo). Lew Tabackin participa en cuatro de los diez números (tres con el tenor, uno con la flauta) y la pianista Renee Rosnes aparece en seis canciones (incluyendo un dúo con Alden en "Warm Valley"), mientras que el bajista Michael Moore y el baterista Bill Goodwin están en siete. Alden toma "My Funny Valentine" y "After All" como solos sin acompañamiento, pero son sus encuentros con Tabackin, particularmente en las emocionantes versiones de dos complejas canciones de Herbie Nichols ("House Party Starting" y "The Gig") lo más notable. Recomendado.
