Charles McPherson • Bebop Revisited

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Bebop is the thing on this excellent outing as altoist Charles McPherson and pianist Barry Harris do their interpretations of Charlie Parker and Bud Powell. With trumpeter Carmell Jones, bassist Nelson Boyd and drummer Al "Tootie" Heath completing the quintet, the band romps through such bop classics as "Hot House," "Nostalgia," "Wail" and "Si Si" along with an original blues and "Embraceable You." A previously unissued "If I Love You" is added to the CD reissue. McPherson and Jones make for a potent frontline on these spirited performances, easily recommended to fans of straightahead jazz.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El Bebop es la cosa en esta excelente salida cuando el contralto Charles McPherson y el pianista Barry Harris hacen sus interpretaciones de Charlie Parker y Bud Powell. Con el trompetista Carmell Jones, el bajista Nelson Boyd y el baterista Al "Tootie" Heath completando el quinteto, la banda retoza con clásicos del bop como "Hot House", "Nostalgia", "Wail" y "Si Si" junto con un blues original y "Embraceable You". En la reedición del CD se añade un tema inédito, "If I Love You". McPherson y Jones forman una potente primera línea en estas animadas interpretaciones, fácilmente recomendables para los aficionados al jazz directo.
