Red Garland Quintet • Red's Good Groove

 



Review
by Ken Dryden
Although this is a one time studio blowing session, things obviously gelled quickly for everyone as they got underway on this 1962 recording by Red Garland, which features both Blue Mitchell and Pepper Adams in prominent supporting roles. The pianist gets things off on the right foot with his relaxed blues "Red's Good Groove," while Mitchell, who had already recorded a number of dates as a leader himself, delivers a confident yet understated trumpet solo. Baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams contributed the oddly named "Excerent!" (a title which somewhat puzzled the original liner note writer Peter Drew but likely refers to the tendency of some Orientals to substitute the letter "r" for "l," long before such humor would be considered politically incorrect, it's a hard bop tune that isn't the least bit reminiscent of the Far East. The core of the date consists of several standards, concluding with a driving take of "Falling in Love with Love." Bassist Sam Jones and drummer Philly Joe Jones supply the fluid rhythm that powers the quintet throughout this very enjoyable session.

Reseña
por Ken Dryden
Aunque se trata de una única sesión de estudio, es obvio que las cosas funcionaron rápidamente para todos cuando se pusieron en marcha en esta grabación de 1962 de Red Garland, que cuenta con Blue Mitchell y Pepper Adams en papeles secundarios destacados. El pianista comienza con buen pie con su relajado blues "Red's Good Groove", mientras que Mitchell, que ya había grabado varias fechas como líder, ofrece un solo de trompeta seguro pero discreto. El saxofonista barítono Pepper Adams contribuyó con la extrañamente llamada "Excerent!" (un título que desconcertó un poco al redactor de la nota original, Peter Drew, pero que probablemente se refiere a la tendencia de algunos orientales a sustituir la letra "r" por la "l", mucho antes de que ese humor se considerara políticamente incorrecto, es una melodía de hard bop que no recuerda en absoluto al Lejano Oriente. El núcleo de la fecha consiste en varios estándares, que concluyen con una toma impulsora de "Falling in Love with Love". El bajista Sam Jones y el baterista Philly Joe Jones proporcionan el ritmo fluido que impulsa al quinteto a lo largo de esta agradable sesión.
