Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Horace Parlan's debut album for Blue Note, Movin' and Groovin', is a thoroughly impressive affair, establishing Parlan as a distinctive hard bop stylist. Working with bassist Sam Jones and drummer Al Harewood, Parlan steals the show, playing hard-driving, bluesy bop and lyrical ballads. If it weren't for the inventive chord voicings and percussive right-hand attack, it would be impossible to tell that he was missing two fingers on his right hand, since his playing is remarkably agile and fluid. Parlan sounds vital on swinging blues, slow ballads, and straight-ahead bop, and Jones and Harewood provide appropriately empathetic support on this collection of standards, blues, bop, jazz, and originals. Everything swings, no matter the tempo, and the end result is a fine debut from a distinctive pianist.

Reseña
por Stephen Thomas Erlewine
El álbum debut de Horace Parlan para Blue Note, Movin' and Groovin', es un asunto totalmente impresionante, estableciendo a Parlan como un distintivo estilista de hard bop. Trabajando con el bajista Sam Jones y el batería Al Harewood, Parlan se lleva la palma, tocando un bop duro y bluesero y baladas líricas. Si no fuera por la inventiva de los acordes y el ataque percusivo de la mano derecha, sería imposible decir que le faltan dos dedos de la mano derecha, ya que su interpretación es extraordinariamente ágil y fluida. Parlan suena vital en blues, baladas lentas y bop directo, y Jones y Harewood proporcionan un apoyo empático en esta colección de standards, blues, bop, jazz y originales. Todo suena bien, no importa el tempo, y el resultado final es un buen debut de un pianista inconfundible.
