Ralph Moore Quintet • Rejuvenate!

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
The group assembled for tenor saxophonist Ralph Moor's quintet date is perfect for his John Coltrane-inspired sound: trombonist Steve Turre (who also plays conch shells), pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith. The all-star lineup performs originals by Moore, Turre and Miller in addition to the title cut and "It Might As Well Be Spring" (a ballad feature for the tenor). The two horns blend together very well and consistently inspire each other; the rhythm section is state-of-the-art for this type of modern hard bop music, and the overall results are swinging and at times a bit adventurous. Recommended.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El grupo reunido para la fecha del quinteto del saxofonista tenor Ralph Moor es perfecto para su sonido inspirado en John Coltrane: el trombonista Steve Turre (que también toca caracolas), el pianista Mulgrew Miller, el bajista Peter Washington y el baterista Marvin "Smitty" Smith. La formación de estrellas interpreta originales de Moore, Turre y Miller, además del corte que da título al disco y "It Might As Well Be Spring" (una balada para el tenor). Las dos trompas se compenetran muy bien y se inspiran mutuamente; la sección rítmica es la más moderna para este tipo de música hard bop moderna, y el resultado general es oscilante y a veces un poco aventurero. Recomendado.
