Here is a fantastic 2 cd set of a pair of blue collar pianists who worked day in and day out as reliable sidemen, just doing their job of accompanying some leader and providing reliably creative music. Never in the spotlight, neither recorded very much on their own, making this reissue of trio dates even that more endearing and valuable.
Hugh Lawson made his living under the leadership of bands by Yusef Lateef, Charles Mingus and various Mingus alumni. On this ’77 session, he meets up with Bob Cranshaw/b (most known with his work with Rollins) and Ben Riley/dr (ditto Monk). His heart is in the Bud Powell-inspired bebop, but with the added years has included more of a hard bop edge. This collection of originals and jazz tunes includes the intriguing Clifford Jordan piece “The Highest Mountain” as well as Mngus’ thoughtful and searching “The Duke Ellington Sound of Love” . The trio gels like old friends, with Riley’s drums snapping like baseball cards on wheel sprockets. Lawson’s hands are deft, confident and always swinging. You’ll want to put this next to your Hank Jones collection!
Richard Wyand has been hired by everyone from Ella to Hubbard, but spent the biggest chunk of his time with Kenny Burrell. Here, he’s given the leadership of a band consisting of David Lee/dr and Lisle Atkinson/b through a well mixed collection of self penned tunes and jazz delectibles. His own “Yes it Is” and “Leonora” have a nice earthy swing to them, while his glassy touch delves deep into the cracks of JJ Johnson’s “Lament.” He seems to delight most in lyrical pieces and coaxes lovely notes out of “Never Let Me Go” and Duke Ellington’s “Leonora,” while his “Yesterdays” has some haunting chord work. Nothing earth shattering here or world shifting-just great and timeless music that you’ll want to listen to over and over after being thunderstruck by all of the cacophonic posers out there these days.

Este es un fantástico set de 2 CDs de un par de pianistas que trabajaron día a día como fiables acompañantes, haciendo su trabajo de acompañar a algún líder y proporcionando música creativa. Nunca fueron el centro de atención, ni grabaron mucho por su cuenta, lo que hace que esta reedición de fechas de trío sea aún más entrañable y valiosa.
Hugh Lawson se ganó la vida bajo la dirección de bandas de Yusef Lateef, Charles Mingus y varios ex alumnos de Mingus. En esta sesión del 77, se reúne con Bob Cranshaw/b (más conocido por su trabajo con Rollins) y Ben Riley/dr (igual que Monk). Su corazón está en el bebop inspirado en Bud Powell, pero con los años ha incluido más de un borde de hard bop. Esta colección de originales y temas de jazz incluye la intrigante pieza de Clifford Jordan "The Highest Mountain", así como la reflexiva y profunda "The Duke Ellington Sound of Love" de Mngus. El trío se compenetra como viejos amigos, con la batería de Riley chasqueando como tarjetas de béisbol en ruedas dentadas. Las manos de Lawson son hábiles, seguras y siempre oscilantes. Querrás poner esto junto a tu colección de Hank Jones.
Richard Wyand ha sido contratado por todo el mundo, desde Ella hasta Hubbard, pero ha pasado la mayor parte de su tiempo con Kenny Burrell. Aquí, se le da el liderazgo de una banda formada por David Lee/dr y Lisle Atkinson/b a través de una colección bien mezclada de melodías de autoría propia y delicias de jazz. Sus propias "Yes it Is" y "Leonora" tienen un agradable swing terrenal, mientras que su toque vidrioso se adentra en las grietas de "Lament" de JJ Johnson. Parece que se deleita más en las piezas líricas y saca notas encantadoras de "Never Let Me Go" y "Leonora" de Duke Ellington, mientras que su "Yesterdays" tiene un trabajo de acordes inquietante. No hay nada que pueda romper la tierra o cambiar el mundo, sólo una música estupenda y atemporal que querrás escuchar una y otra vez después de haberte quedado impresionado por todos los posers cacofónicos que hay hoy en día.
