Phil Woods & Donald Byrd • The Young Bloods

 


Review by Scott Yanow
For this early hard bop date, altoist Phil Woods and trumpeter Donald Byrd were co-leaders. In fact, the music had at one point earlier on been released with Byrd getting first billing. Since the spirited altoist contributed four of the six tunes (including "House of Chan" and "In Walked George") and consistently takes solo honors, it is only right that the date finally appeared under Woods' name. With pianist Al Haig (who did not record that extensively during this period), bassist Teddy Kotick, and drummer Charlie Persip offering stimulating accompaniment, this is an easily recommended release (despite its brief LP length) for straight-ahead jazz collectors.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Para esta temprana cita con el hard bop, el contralto Phil Woods y el trompetista Donald Byrd fueron co-líderes. De hecho, la música había sido editada anteriormente con Byrd en primer lugar. Dado que el enérgico contralto contribuyó con cuatro de los seis temas (incluyendo «House of Chan» e «In Walked George») y siempre se lleva los honores como solista, es justo que la fecha aparezca finalmente bajo el nombre de Woods. Con el pianista Al Haig (que no grabó tanto durante este periodo), el bajista Teddy Kotick y el batería Charlie Persip ofreciendo un acompañamiento estimulante, se trata de un lanzamiento fácilmente recomendable (a pesar de su breve duración en LP) para los coleccionistas de jazz directo.
