Jay Leonhart, Gary Burton, Joe Beck & Terry Clarke • Four Duke

Review

This swinging session focuses on a dozen standards from the vast Duke Ellington songbook. Bassist Jay Leonhart sings along with his bass a la Slam Stewart to open "In a Mellotone" and "C Jam Blues." A loping "Azure" features Joe Beck's brash guitar contrasting with Gary Burton's bluesy vibes. Burton and Leonhart's smoking duo version of "Take the 'A' Train" and a soft pretty take of "Isfahan" (omitting Beck) are the top tracks of the date. A pleasant, if not essential CD.

Revisar

Esta sesión de balanceo se centra en una docena de estándares del vasto cancionero de Duke Ellington. El bajista Jay Leonhart canta junto con su bajo a la Slam Stewart para abrir "In a Mellotone" y "C Jam Blues". En "Azure", la guitarra descarada de Joe Beck contrasta con el blues de Gary Burton. La humeante versión en dúo de Burton y Leonhart de "Take the 'A' Train" y una suave y bonita toma de "Isfahan" (omitiendo a Beck) son las pistas principales de la fecha. Un agradable, si no esencial CD.
