Frank Foster • Soul Outing!

Review by Scott Yanow

This CD reissue from 1998 brings back tenor saxophonist Frank Foster's second date as a leader after leaving Count Basie's Orchestra in 1964 after an 11-year stint. Foster, who would become more influenced by John Coltrane as time passed, is heard playing five fairly modern tunes: three of his originals and two songs from the musical Golden Boy. With the assistance of trumpeter Virgil Jones, pianist Pat Rebillot, Bob Cunningham or Richard Davis on bass, drummer Alan Dawson and (on two numbers) guitarist Billy Butler, Foster plays in a variety of modern mainstream styles from the era including funk, Latin, a bit of gospel and more straight-ahead. The overall results are not that memorable but they do show Foster growing beyond the world of Count Basie.

Esta reedición del CD de 1998 trae de vuelta la segunda cita del saxofonista tenor Frank Foster como líder después de dejar la orquesta de Count Basie en 1964 después de un período de 11 años. Foster, quien se vería más influenciado por John Coltrane a medida que pasaba el tiempo, se escucha tocar cinco temas bastante modernos: tres de sus originales y dos canciones del musical Golden Boy. Con la asistencia del trompetista Virgil Jones, el pianista Pat Rebillot, Bob Cunningham o Richard Davis en el bajo, el baterista Alan Dawson y (en dos números) el guitarrista Billy Butler, Foster toca en una variedad de estilos modernos y modernos de la era que incluyen funk, latín, Un poco de evangelio y más directo. Los resultados generales no son tan memorables, pero muestran que Foster crece más allá del mundo de Count Basie.
