Jerry Weldon • Head to Head



Tenor saxophonists Jerry Weldon and Michael Karn share many of the same influences including Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Rollins, Hank Mobley and Joe Henderson. Karn has a slightly harder tone but the two tenors are quite complementary and of equal talent. For this hard bop outing from Criss Cross, Weldon and Karn are joined by pianist Bruce Barth, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Billy Drummond. Although the co-leaders contribute two originals apiece, the newer pieces are in the same basic chordal-oriented style as the six vintage tunes (which include a long and blazing tenor tradeoff on "Ko-Ko," "Ow," the Sonny Rollins-associated "If Ever I Would Leave You" and ballad features for Karn ("Who Can I Turn To") and Weldon ("All the Way"). Fun music easily recommended to straight-ahead jazz collectors. ~ Scott Yanow

La música divertida se recomienda fácilmente a los coleccionistas de jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
