Paul Chambers • Whims Of Chambers

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Of the seven songs on this Blue Note date, four are more common than the other three because they contain solos by tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and have therefore been reissued more often. Actually there are quite a few solos in the all-star sextet (which includes the bassist-leader, Coltrane, trumpeter Donald Byrd, guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Horace Silver, and drummer Philly Joe Jones) and all of the players get their chances to shine on this fairly spontaneous hard bop set. Coltrane's two obscure compositions ("Nita" and "Just for the Love") are among the more memorable tunes and are worth reviving. "Tale of the Fingers" features the quintet without Coltrane, the rhythm section stretches out on "Whims of Chambers," and "Tale of the Fingers" is a showcase for Chambers' bowed bass. This is a fine effort and would be worth picking up by straight-ahead jazz fans even if John Coltrane had not participated.

De las siete canciones de esta fecha de Blue Note, cuatro son más comunes que las otras tres porque contienen solos del saxofonista tenor John Coltrane y, por lo tanto, han sido reeditadas más veces. En realidad, hay bastantes solos en el sexteto de estrellas (que incluye al bajista-líder, Coltrane, el trompetista Donald Byrd, el guitarrista Kenny Burrell, el pianista Horace Silver y el baterista Philly Joe Jones) y todos los músicos tienen sus oportunidades de brillar en este conjunto de hard bop bastante espontáneo. Las dos oscuras composiciones de Coltrane ("Nita" y "Just for the Love") se encuentran entre las melodías más memorables y vale la pena revivirlas. "Tale of the Fingers" presenta al quinteto sin Coltrane, la sección rítmica se extiende en "Whims of Chambers", y "Tale of the Fingers" es un escaparate para el bajo de arco de Chambers. Se trata de un buen trabajo que valdría la pena recoger para los aficionados al jazz directo incluso si John Coltrane no hubiera participado.
