Al Cohn • Play It Now

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Tenor saxophonist Al Cohn did some of his finest playing during his period (1975-80) with Xanadu. For this quartet set, Cohn is ably backed by the great bop pianist Barry Harris, bassist Larry Ridley and drummer Alan Dawson. Cohn, who had spent much of his career as a successful arranger/composer, contributed only one of the six numbers ("Play It Now") on the album and was content to jam spiritedly on such tunes as "Lover," "Irresistible You" and "It's Sand, Man."

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El saxofonista tenor Al Cohn realizó algunas de sus mejores interpretaciones durante su período (1975-80) con Xanadu. Para este conjunto de cuarteto, Cohn está hábilmente respaldado por el gran pianista de bop Barry Harris, el bajista Larry Ridley y el baterista Alan Dawson. Cohn, que había pasado gran parte de su carrera como exitoso arreglista/compositor, sólo contribuyó con uno de los seis números ("Play It Now") del álbum y se contentó con improvisar animadamente en temas como "Lover", "Irresistible You" y "It's Sand, Man".
