Eddie Costa • Eddie Costa Quintet

 

Review by Ken Dryden
Eddie Costa made only a few dates as a leader prior to his sudden death as a result of an automobile accident at the age of 31; this 1957 session is the best of them. Alternating between piano and vibes, Costa leads a quintet that includes Phil Woods, Art Farmer, Teddy Kotick, and Paul Motian, featuring enjoyable interpretations of "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" and Dave Brubeck's still fairly new "In Your Own Sweet Way," the latter of which focuses on Costa's vibes and Farmer's muted trumpet, with Woods switching to the piano. Each of the originals by Costa, Woods, and Farmer is stimulating, although they have undeservedly languished in obscurity. Recorded for the long-defunct Mode label, V.S.O.P. reissued this forgotten treasure on CD in 1992.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
Eddie Costa tuvo sólo unas pocas citas como líder antes de su repentina muerte como resultado de un accidente automovilístico a la edad de 31 años; esta sesión de 1957 es la mejor de ellas. Alternando entre el piano y el vibráfono, Costa lidera un quinteto que incluye a Phil Woods, Art Farmer, Teddy Kotick y Paul Motian, con agradables interpretaciones de "I Didn't Know What Time It Was Was" y el todavía bastante nuevo "In Your Own Sweet Way" de Dave Brubeck, este último se centra en el vibráfono de Costa y en la trompeta silenciada de Farmer, con Woods cambiando al piano. Cada uno de los originales de Costa, Woods y Farmer es estimulante, aunque han languidecido inmerecidamente en la oscuridad. Grabado para el desaparecido sello Mode, V.S.O.P. reeditó este tesoro olvidado en un CD en 1992.
