George Wallington Quintet • Jazz For The Carriage Trade

 

Review by Scott Yanow
During 1956-57 trumpeter Donald Byrd and altoist Phil Woods (both important up-and-coming players) were regular members of pianist George Wallington's quintet. For this CD reissue, bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Art Taylor complete the group on a program that includes three standards ("Our Delight," "Our Love Is Here to Stay" and "What's New"), a pair of Woods originals ("Together We Wail" and "But George") and Frank Foster's "Foster Dulles." The music falls between bebop and hard bop with Woods sounding quite strong while Byrd comes across as a promising (but not yet mature) youngster. A fine example of this somewhat forgotten but talented group, easily recommended to bop collectors.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Durante 1956-57 el trompetista Donald Byrd y el contralto Phil Woods (ambos importantes promesas) fueron miembros habituales del quinteto del pianista George Wallington. Para esta reedición en CD, el bajista Teddy Kotick y el baterista Art Taylor completan el grupo en un programa que incluye tres estándares ("Our Delight", "Our Love Is Here to Stay" y "What's New"), un par de originales de Woods ("Together We Wail" y "But George") y "Foster Dulles" de Frank Foster. La música se sitúa entre el bebop y el hard bop, con Woods sonando bastante fuerte mientras Byrd se presenta como un joven prometedor (pero aún no maduro). Un buen ejemplo de este grupo algo olvidado pero con talento, fácilmente recomendable para los coleccionistas de bop.
