Benny Green • The Place To Be



Review by Scott Yanow
Benny Green continued to show gradual growth throughout the 1990s. For this outing with his 1994 trio (which also includes bassist Christian McBride and drummer Kenny Washington), Green shows off the influence of Oscar Peterson and other predecessors, but also displays his own musical voice during a mixture of originals, jazz standards (including "I Want to Talk About You," "Pensativa" and "The Folks Who Live on the Hill") and lesser-known tunes. Three songs add six horns orchestrated by Green and Bob Belden, and a special highlight is Green's solo rendition of Oscar Peterson's "Noreen's Nocturne." Overall, this CD is an excellent example of Benny Green's playing and writing talents.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Benny Green continuó mostrando un crecimiento gradual a lo largo de la década de 1990. Para esta salida con su trío de 1994 (que también incluye al bajista Christian McBride y al baterista Kenny Washington), Green muestra la influencia de Oscar Peterson y otros predecesores, pero también muestra su propia voz musical durante una mezcla de originales, estándares de jazz (incluyendo "I Want to Talk About You", "Pensativa" y "The Folks Who Live on the Hill") y temas menos conocidos. Tres canciones añaden seis trompetas orquestadas por Green y Bob Belden, y un punto culminante es la interpretación en solitario de "Noreen's Nocturne" de Oscar Peterson. En general, este CD es un excelente ejemplo de los talentos de Benny Green para tocar y escribir.
