Danny Gatton, Bobby Watson, Roy Hargrove, Joshua Redman • New York Stories

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
This interesting outing by an all-star group (guitarist Danny Gatton, altoist Bobby Watson, trumpeter Roy Hargrove, Joshua Redman on tenor, pianist Franck Amsallem, bassist Charles Fambrough and drummer Yuron Israel) is most notable for featuring the brilliant Gatton in a jazz setting. Together the septet, performs nine originals by group members and Gatton and Watson emerge as the main solo stars. Despite its somewhat generic name, this advanced hard bop date is quite memorable.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Esta interesante salida de un grupo de estrellas (el guitarrista Danny Gatton, el contralto Bobby Watson, el trompetista Roy Hargrove, Joshua Redman en el tenor, el pianista Franck Amsallem, el bajista Charles Fambrough y el baterista Yuron Israel) es más notable por presentar al brillante Gatton en un ambiente de jazz. Juntos, el septeto interpreta nueve originales de los miembros del grupo y Gatton y Watson se erigen en las principales estrellas solistas. A pesar de su nombre algo genérico, esta cita de hard bop avanzado es bastante memorable.
