Harold Mabern Trio • Straight Street

Review by Scott Yanow

For a time in the early 1990s, some of the CDs from the Japanese DIW label were made available domestically through Columbia. This trio date by pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Jack DeJohnette has Mabern originals dedicated to Sonny Stitt and Wayne Shorter, plus some offbeat standards and a pair of rarely performed John Coltrane tunes ("Straight Street" and "Crescent"). The interplay between the musicians is impressive and Mabern is heard throughout in excellent form. He closes the set with a piano solo that he titled "Apab and Others," after Art Tatum, Phineas Newborn, Ahmad Jamal and Bud Powell.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Durante un tiempo, a principios de la década de 1990, algunos de los discos compactos de la marca japonesa DIW estuvieron disponibles en el país a través de Colombia. Este trío del pianista Harold Mabern, el bajista Ron Carter y el baterista Jack DeJohnette tiene originales de Mabern dedicados a Sonny Stitt y Wayne Shorter, además de algunos estándares fuera de lo común y un par de melodías de John Coltrane raramente interpretadas ("Straight Street" y "Crescent"). La interacción entre los músicos es impresionante y Mabern se escucha en todo momento en excelente forma. Cierra el set con un solo de piano que tituló "Apab y otros", después de Art Tatum, Phineas Newborn, Ahmad Jamal y Bud Powell.
