Herb Ellis & Ray Brown ‎• Soft Shoe



Review by Scott Yanow
This early Concord recording (which is available on CD) is unusual in a couple of ways. Guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown (who are the co-leaders) are joined not only by trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison (who is in colorful form) and drummer Jake Hanna but pianist George Duke in one of his very few mainstream records. Their repertoire includes jazz versions of such unlikely tunes as "Inka-Dinka-Doo," "Easter Parade" and "The Flintstones Theme"; the latter version (which is based on the familiar "I Got Rhythm" chord changes) was the first of many to turn that cartoon melody into jazz. In addition Brown ("Soft Shoe"), Edison and Ellis contribute a song apiece plus there is a brief rendition of "Green Dolphin Street" that is taken as a Brown-Ellis duet. Recommended.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Esta temprana grabación de Concord (que está disponible en CD) es inusual en un par de aspectos. El guitarrista Herb Ellis y el bajista Ray Brown (que son los co-líderes) están acompañados no sólo por el trompetista Harry "Sweets" Edison (que está en una forma colorida) y el baterista Jake Hanna, sino también por el pianista George Duke en uno de sus muy pocos discos convencionales. Su repertorio incluye versiones de jazz de temas tan improbables como "Inka-Dinka-Doo", "Easter Parade" y "The Flintstones Theme"; esta última versión (que se basa en los conocidos cambios de acordes de "I Got Rhythm") fue la primera de muchas que convirtieron esa melodía de dibujos animados en jazz. Además, Brown ("Soft Shoe"), Edison y Ellis contribuyen con una canción cada uno y hay una breve interpretación de "Green Dolphin Street" que se toma como un dúo Brown-Ellis. Recomendado.
