John Jenkins ⁄ Clifford Jordan ⁄ Bobby Timmons • Jenkins, Jordan & Timmons

Review by Scott Yanow

Four of the five selections on this CD reissue (which also includes "Tenderly") are obscure jazz originals by altoist John Jenkins, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, or trombonist Julian Priester. Inspired by both Charlie Parker and Jackie McLean, Jenkins teams up with Jordan, pianist Bobby Timmons, bassist Wilbur Ware, and drummer Dannie Richmond for some bop-oriented improvising. Strange that this would be one of only two sets led by Jenkins. Although the Blue Note CD, recorded just 16 days later, gets the edge, this is an excellent effort too.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Cuatro de las cinco selecciones en esta reedición del CD (que también incluye "Tenderly") son oscuros originales de jazz del contralto John Jenkins, el saxofonista tenor Clifford Jordan, o el trombonista Julian Priester. Inspirado por Charlie Parker y Jackie McLean, Jenkins se une a Jordan, al pianista Bobby Timmons, al bajista Wilbur Ware y al baterista Dannie Richmond para realizar improvisaciones orientadas al bop. Es extraño que este sea uno de los dos únicos sets liderados por Jenkins. Aunque el CD Blue Note, grabado tan sólo 16 días después, se lleva la palma, también es un esfuerzo excelente.
