Frank Foster • Fearless

Review by Scott Yanow

Shortly after leaving Count Basie's Orchestra, tenor saxophonist Frank Foster led this quintet set for Prestige, which in 1997 was reissued on CD in the Original Jazz Classics series. Foster shows off the influence of John Coltrane (as opposed to his earlier cool-toned style) and matches well with the occasionally fiery trumpet of Virgil Jones, pianist Albert Dailey, bassist Bob Cunningham and drummer Alan Dawson. In addition to Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz," Foster performs five originals, some of which (like "Raunchy Rita") fall into the area of funky hard bop. Spirited music.

Revisión por Scott Yanow

Poco después de abandonar la orquesta de Count Basie, el saxofonista tenor Frank Foster dirigió este conjunto de quintetos para Prestige, que en 1997 se reeditó en un CD en la serie Original Jazz Classics. Foster muestra la influencia de John Coltrane (a diferencia de su estilo de tono frío anterior) y combina bien con la trompeta de Virgil Jones, el pianista Albert Dailey, el bajista Bob Cunningham y el baterista Alan Dawson. Además de "Jitterbug Waltz" de Fats Waller, Foster realiza cinco originales, algunos de los cuales (como "Raunchy Rita") se ubican en el área de bop hard funky. La música enérgica.
