Michel Sardaby Trio • Night Cap



Review by Jeff Schwachter
Aside from playing and recording with American blues musicians like Sonny Boy Williamson and T-Bone Walker in the 1960s, the Caribbean-born jazz pianist Michel Sardaby recorded a few fine albums of his own. Night Cap, recorded in Paris in 1970, is one of his best known and features five originals and an eloquent rendition of Duke Ellington's "Satin Doll." Sardaby's trio, with Percy Heath on bass and Connie Kay on drums, brings a strong rhythmic sensibility and an appreciation for the blues to the pieces. There is a nocturnal quality to the album highlighted by the title track, the intense opener "Traveling On," and the meditative "I'm Free Again." This is a highly enjoyable album from an artist who worked with many American musicians throughout his career but was more appreciated abroad than in the United States, where most of his albums are only available as imports.

Además de tocar y grabar con músicos de blues estadounidenses como Sonny Boy Williamson y T-Bone Walker en la década de 1960, el pianista de jazz nacido en el Caribe Michel Sardaby grabó algunos buenos álbumes propios. Night Cap, grabado en París en 1970, es uno de sus más conocidos y presenta cinco originales y una elocuente interpretación de "Satin Doll" de Duke Ellington. El trío de Sardaby, con Percy Heath en el bajo y Connie Kay en la batería, aporta una gran sensibilidad rítmica y una apreciación del blues por las piezas. Hay una cualidad nocturna en el álbum resaltada por la canción principal, el intenso comienzo "Traveling On" y el meditativo "I'm Free Again". Este es un álbum muy agradable de un artista que trabajó con muchos músicos estadounidenses a lo largo de su carrera, pero fue más apreciado en el extranjero que en los Estados Unidos, donde la mayoría de sus álbumes solo están disponibles como importaciones.
