Chick Corea, Gary Burton, Dave Holland, Pat Metheny, Roy Haynes • Like Minds

 

 Review by Scott Yanow

Talk about all-star groups -- this quintet date matches together vibraphonist Gary Burton with pianist Chick Corea, guitarist Pat Metheny, bassist Dave Holland, and drummer Roy Haynes. Burton and Corea have recorded frequently through the years, while Metheny gained some early fame working with Burton; Holland was with Corea in Miles Davis' late-'60s group, and Haynes was formerly with both Burton and Corea. However, not all of these musicians had played together before -- Corea had never worked with Metheny previously, nor Burton with Holland. No matter, the masterful players fit together quite well. The vibraphonist is the lead voice in the ensembles, where Metheny at times sounds close to Jim Hall and seems a bit restrained, but everyone gets a chance to contribute to the success of the CD. Metheny contributed five songs (including "Question and Answer" and "Elucidation," which deserves to be a standard), while Burton brought in two; Corea's three contributions include his classic "Windows." The lone standard is George Gershwin's "Soon." The music is modern straight-ahead jazz; the solos are concise and the rhythm section is quite tight. In fact, this sounds like a regularly working band. Highly recommended.

 Reseña de Scott Yanow

Hablando de grupos de estrellas, esta cita del quinteto reúne al vibrafonista Gary Burton con el pianista Chick Corea, el guitarrista Pat Metheny, el bajista Dave Holland y el baterista Roy Haynes. Burton y Corea han grabado con frecuencia a lo largo de los años, mientras que Metheny adquirió cierta fama temprana trabajando con Burton; Holland estuvo con Corea en el grupo de Miles Davis de finales de los 60, y Haynes estuvo anteriormente con Burton y Corea. Sin embargo, no todos estos músicos habían tocado juntos antes: Corea nunca había trabajado con Metheny, ni Burton con Holland. No importa, los magistrales músicos encajan bastante bien. El vibrafonista es la voz principal en los conjuntos, donde Metheny a veces suena cerca de Jim Hall y parece un poco contenido, pero todos tienen la oportunidad de contribuir al éxito del CD. Metheny contribuye con cinco canciones (incluyendo "Question and Answer" y "Elucidation", que merece ser un estándar), mientras que Burton aporta dos; las tres contribuciones de Corea incluyen su clásico "Windows". El único estándar es "Soon" de George Gershwin. La música es un jazz moderno y directo; los solos son concisos y la sección rítmica está bastante ajustada. De hecho, esto suena como una banda que trabaja regularmente. Muy recomendable.
