The Brothers Candoliː Sextet • 2 For The Money

 



Review by Ken Dryden
Recordings by brothers who play the identical instrument are fairly rare in jazz, but trumpeters Conte and Pete Candoli made several valuable records together without sibling rivalry. The ten selections on this album draw favorites from swing, bop, cool, and hard bop, with an excellent rhythm section (pianist Jimmy Rowles, guitarist Howard Roberts, bassist Max Bennett, and drummer Frank Capp) complementing the brothers. The high points include a wild "Caravan," with an exotic vamp by Rowles (as well as a daring solo) in support of their unison lines, the catchy blues "Splanky" from Count Basie's band book (with terrific call and response between the trumpeters), and a funny arrangement of Charlie Parker's "Ah-Leu-Cha" that has a disguised Latin introduction. Roberts and Rowles come to the forefront with the muted trumpets playing riffs behind them in "Doodlin'." Rowles' brilliant scoring of "Willow Weep for Me" has a sassy air rather than the typical bittersweet flavor.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
Las grabaciones de hermanos que tocan el mismo instrumento son bastante raras en el jazz, pero los trompetistas Conte y Pete Candoli hicieron varios discos valiosos juntos sin rivalidad entre hermanos. Las diez selecciones de este álbum incluyen temas favoritos de swing, bop, cool y hard bop, con una excelente sección rítmica (el pianista Jimmy Rowles, el guitarrista Howard Roberts, el bajista Max Bennett y el baterista Frank Capp) que complementa a los hermanos. Los puntos álgidos incluyen un salvaje "Caravan", con un exótico vampiro de Rowles (así como un atrevido solo) en apoyo de sus líneas al unísono, el pegadizo blues "Splanky" del libro de la banda de Count Basie (con una estupenda llamada y respuesta entre los trompetistas), y un divertido arreglo de "Ah-Leu-Cha" de Charlie Parker que tiene una introducción latina disfrazada. Roberts y Rowles pasan a primer plano con las trompetas silenciadas tocando riffs detrás de ellos en "Doodlin'". La brillante puntuación de Rowles en "Willow Weep for Me" tiene un aire descarado en lugar del típico sabor agridulce.
