Buddy Tate • The Texas Twister

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
The music on this New World release (originally put out by Master Jazz) is very much in the vein of Count Basie. Buddy Tate (playing tenor and clarinet in addition to taking a few of Jimmy Rushing-style vocals) is joined by fellow tenor Paul Quinichette (making one of his few recordings of the 1970's), pianist Cliff Smalls (an underrated swing player), bassist Major Holley and drummer Jackie Williams. Other than the opening original "The Texas Twister" and Tate's ballad feature on "Talk Of The Town," all of the music is from the Basie book including "Chicago," "Boogie Woogie" and "Topsy." All of the musicians (most of whom were not making too many recordings in the mid-1970's) sound somewhat inspired and are in fine form.

La música en este lanzamiento de New World (originalmente publicado por Master Jazz) está muy en la vena de Count Basie. Buddy Tate (tocando el tenor y el clarinete además de tomar algunas voces al estilo de Jimmy Rushing) está acompañado por su compañero tenor Paul Quinichette (haciendo una de sus pocas grabaciones de los años 70), el pianista Cliff Smalls (un infravalorado jugador de swing), el bajista Major Holley y el baterista Jackie Williams. Aparte del original de apertura "The Texas Twister" y la balada de Tate en "Talk Of The Town", toda la música es del libro de Basie, incluyendo "Chicago", "Boogie Woogie" y "Topsy". Todos los músicos (la mayoría de los cuales no estaban haciendo demasiadas grabaciones a mediados de los años 70) suenan algo inspirados y están en buena forma.
