The Ray Brown Trio With Ralph Moore • Moore Makes 4

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
The members of the Ray Brown Trio (the bassist-leader, pianist Gene Harris and drummer Jeff Hamilton) all grew to love the playing of tenor-saxophonist Ralph Moore when the four were traveling as members of Gene Harris' big band. On this Ray Brown CD, the veteran bassist virtually turned over the entire session to Moore. The quartet performs a variety of veteran standards (including some from the bop era such as Charlie Parker's "Quasimodo" and Dizzy Gillespie's "The Champ") plus Wes Montgomery's "SOS" and Brown's "Ralph's Boogie." Ralph Moore rises to the occasion and shows that, even though his sound is inspired by John Coltrane, he was fully capable of playing tunes from the swing and bop era; Moore sounds delighted to have the Ray Brown Trio as his backup group. This is a fine collaboration that works quite well.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Los miembros del Ray Brown Trio (el bajista-líder, el pianista Gene Harris y el baterista Jeff Hamilton) llegaron a amar la forma de tocar del tenor-saxofonista Ralph Moore cuando los cuatro viajaban como miembros de la big band de Gene Harris. En este CD de Ray Brown, el veterano bajista prácticamente cedió toda la sesión a Moore. El cuarteto interpreta una variedad de estándares veteranos (incluyendo algunos de la era del bop como "Quasimodo" de Charlie Parker y "The Champ" de Dizzy Gillespie) además de "SOS" de Wes Montgomery y "Ralph's Boogie" de Brown. Ralph Moore está a la altura de las circunstancias y demuestra que, aunque su sonido está inspirado en John Coltrane, era totalmente capaz de tocar temas de la época del swing y el bop; Moore parece encantado de tener al Ray Brown Trio como grupo de acompañamiento. Se trata de una buena colaboración que funciona bastante bien.
