Jack Wilkins ‎‎• Mexico

 

Jack Wilkins is an excellent guitarist deserving of wider recognition. This 1992 CTI release might get overlooked by hard bop fans because of producer Creed Taylor's tendency to either over-produce a session or turn it into commercial pabulum, but this out of print CD is worth acquiring. "Dailey Double," written by pianist Albert Dailey, is an up-tempo blues with a Latin kick. The guitarist's lyricism comes to the forefront during a brisk reading of "You Must Believe in Spring" and a rather brief "My Foolish Heart," featuring the leader on solo acoustic guitar. Phil Woods makes a guest appearance on Wilkins' swirling bop composition "Captain Blued" and also bassist Harvie Swartz's "Opal," stealing the spotlight on both tracks. Chick Corea's "Captain Marvel" is a miniature that features Wilkins with guest guitarist Carl Barry. A very enjoyable outing. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide

Jack Wilkins es un excelente guitarrista que merece un mayor reconocimiento. Este lanzamiento de 1992 de CTI puede ser pasado por alto por los fans del hard bop debido a la tendencia del productor Creed Taylor a sobreproducir una sesión o convertirla en un pábulo comercial, pero vale la pena adquirir este CD agotado. "Dailey Double", escrito por el pianista Albert Dailey, es un blues up-tempo con un toque latino. El lirismo del guitarrista se pone en primer plano durante una lectura enérgica de "You Must Believe in Spring" y un breve "My Foolish Heart", con el líder en guitarra acústica solista. Phil Woods hace una aparición como invitado en la composición de bop de Wilkins "Captain Blued" y también en "Opal" del bajista Harvie Swartz, robando el protagonismo en ambos temas. "Captain Marvel" de Chick Corea es una miniatura que muestra a Wilkins con el guitarrista invitado Carl Barry. Una salida muy agradable. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide ~
