Joe Farrell Quartet • Joe Farrell Quartet

Review
by Scott Yanow
Joe Farrell, known in the '60s as a solid hard bop tenor saxophonist, branched out in the '70s. On this near-classic album, Farrell switches between tenor, soprano, flute, and even oboe while being joined by a rather notable backup crew: keyboardist Chick Corea, guitarist John McLaughlin, bassist Dave Holland, and drummer Jack DeJohnette. In addition to a famous version of McLaughlin's "Follow Your Heart," the material includes originals by Farrell and Corea, and the leader makes a strong impression on each of his horns.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Joe Farrell, conocido en los 60 como un sólido saxofonista tenor de hard bop, se diversificó en los 70. En este álbum casi clásico, Farrell cambia entre tenor, soprano, flauta e incluso oboe mientras se le une un equipo de apoyo bastante notable: el teclista Chick Corea, el guitarrista John McLaughlin, el bajista Dave Holland y el baterista Jack DeJohnette. Además de una famosa versión de "Follow Your Heart" de McLaughlin, el material incluye originales de Farrell y Corea, y el líder se luce con cada una de sus trompas.
