Milt Jackson • High Fly



Review by Ken Dryden
Like most of the series of recordings made of visiting musicians to the long-defunct Atlanta nightclub E.J.'s, Milt Jackson appears with a competent local rhythm section on this two-disc bootleg. While the music itself is enjoyable, the sound is a bit erratic; although it seems to have been recorded through the sound system rather than from the audience (due to the lack of obvious signals that give away such recordings), the balance between the instruments and the distortion frequently present diminishes the value of this release. Jackson is in his usual top form, and it is nice to hear musicians who haven't worked regularly with the veteran vibraphonist shine so well on great standards like "Here's That Rainy Day" and "Bye, Bye Blackbird," along with jazz classics such as "Scrapple From the Apple" and Randy Weston's "Hi-Fly" (misidentified as "High Fly" on this set). Not an essential part of Milt Jackson's discography, but since it is out of print, this two-CD set may be worth picking up if found at a reasonable price.

Revisión por Ken Dryden
Como la mayoría de las series de grabaciones hechas de músicos visitantes del extenso club nocturno E.J. de Atlanta, Milt Jackson aparece con una sección rítmica local competente en este contrabando de dos discos. Si bien la música en sí es agradable, el sonido es un poco errático; Aunque parece que se grabó a través del sistema de sonido en lugar de hacerlo por parte de la audiencia (debido a la falta de señales obvias que regalan tales grabaciones), el equilibrio entre los instrumentos y la distorsión frecuentemente presente disminuye el valor de esta versión. Jackson está en su mejor forma habitual, y es bueno escuchar que los músicos que no han trabajado regularmente con el veterano vibrafonista brillan tan bien en grandes estándares como "Here That That Rainy Day" y "Bye, Bye Blackbird", junto con los clásicos del jazz. como "Scrapple From the Apple" y "Hi-Fly" de Randy Weston (identificada erróneamente como "High Fly" en este set). No es una parte esencial de la discografía de Milt Jackson, pero como está agotada, vale la pena recoger este juego de dos CD si se encuentra a un precio razonable.
