Roy Eldridge & Coleman Hawkins • Just You Just Me

 

Review by Scott Yanow
In the late '50s trumpeter Roy Eldridge and tenor-saxophonist Coleman Hawkins teamed up on a fairly regular basis. Since they always brought out the best in each other (their solos could be quite competitive and fiery), all of their joint recordings are recommended. Two LPs from their gig at Washington D.C.'s Bayou Club in 1959 were previously released on the Honeysuckle Rose label. Five of those selections plus four previously unissued cuts are included on this Stash CD. Most of the tunes are medium-tempo jams such as "Just You, Just Me," "Rifftide," and "How High the Moon," but there is also an excellent ballad medley. Backed by a local rhythm section, Eldridge and Hawk are both in superior form, making this a highly recommended disc even for those listeners who already have the earlier LPs.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
A finales de los años 50, el trompetista Roy Eldridge y el saxofonista tenor Coleman Hawkins formaron equipo con bastante regularidad. Como siempre sacaban lo mejor el uno del otro (sus solos podían ser bastante competitivos y fogosos), todas sus grabaciones conjuntas son recomendables. Dos LPs de su concierto en el Bayou Club de Washington D.C. en 1959 se publicaron anteriormente en el sello Honeysuckle Rose. En este CD de Stash se incluyen cinco de esas selecciones más cuatro cortes inéditos. La mayoría de los temas son jams de tempo medio, como "Just You, Just Me", "Rifftide" y "How High the Moon", pero también hay un excelente popurrí de baladas. Respaldados por una sección rítmica local, Eldridge y Hawk están en plena forma, lo que hace de éste un disco muy recomendable incluso para aquellos oyentes que ya posean los LP anteriores.
