Bucky Pizzarelli, John Bunch & Jay Leonhart • Manhattan Swing- A Visit With The Duke

 



Review by Ken Dryden
The guitar/piano/bass trio of Bucky Pizzarelli, John Bunch, and Jay Leonhart, who have also recorded together under the group name of New York Swing, have a grand time with this collection of favorites from the Duke Ellington songbook. The interplay between them as well as their solos are never less than first rate, especially on an unusually brisk take of "I'm Beginning to See the Light," a foot-tapping "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" that has the flavor of western swing, and a bluesy "All Too Soon." But the trio really come into their own on the slow ballads, with a romantic "Passion Flower" and a shimmering "Isfahan." Jay Leonhart's liner notes are entertaining anecdotes, even if the time frame given for his one opportunity to sit in with Ellington is off by at least 15 years.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
El trío de guitarra, piano y bajo de Bucky Pizzarelli, John Bunch y Jay Leonhart, que también han grabado juntos bajo el nombre de New York Swing, se divierten con esta colección de canciones favoritas del cancionero de Duke Ellington. La interacción entre ellos, así como sus solos, nunca es menos que de primera, especialmente en una inusualmente rápida toma de "I'm Beginning to See the Light", un "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" que tiene el sabor del swing del oeste, y un "All Too Soon" bluesero. Pero el trío realmente se destaca en las baladas lentas, con un romántico "Passion Flower" y un brillante "Isfahan". Las notas de Jay Leonhart son anécdotas entretenidas, incluso si el tiempo que se le da para su única oportunidad de estar con Ellington es de al menos 15 años.
