Al Cohn • The Natural Seven

 

Seven Review
by Scott Yanow
Some but not all of the material on this out-of-print LP has since been reissued on CD on a Bluebird set shared by Freddie Green and Al Cohn. Although originally associated with Woody Herman and cool jazz, Cohn always felt equally comfortable playing with swing-styled players. His "Natural Seven" looks toward the Kansas City Seven and includes two members of Count Basie's band (trumpeter Joe Newman and guitarist Freddie Green) among the personnel (which also has trombonist Frank Rehak, Basie soundalike pianist Nat Pierce, bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Osie Johnson). Although the music includes a few Basie-associated songs, Cohn also contributed several of his own swinging originals; Osie Johnson's vocal on "Osie's Blues" is surprisingly effective.

Reseña de Seven
por Scott Yanow
Parte del material de este LP agotado, pero no todo, ha sido reeditado en CD en un set de Bluebird compartido por Freddie Green y Al Cohn. Aunque originalmente se asoció con Woody Herman y el cool jazz, Cohn siempre se sintió igualmente cómodo tocando con músicos de estilo swing. Su "Natural Seven" mira hacia los Kansas City Seven e incluye a dos miembros de la banda de Count Basie (el trompetista Joe Newman y el guitarrista Freddie Green) entre el personal (que también cuenta con el trombonista Frank Rehak, el pianista afín a Basie Nat Pierce, el bajista Milt Hinton y el batería Osie Johnson). Aunque la música incluye algunas canciones asociadas a Basie, Cohn también contribuyó con varios de sus propios originales de swing; la voz de Osie Johnson en "Osie's Blues" es sorprendentemente efectiva.
