Arnett Cobb • More Party Time

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
During 1959-1960, the tough-toned but sentimental tenor saxophonist Arnett Cobb recorded six albums for Prestige; his next recording as a leader would not be until 1971. On this particular CD reissue, Cobb performs quintet selections with pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Sam Jones, drummer Art Taylor, and Danny Barrajanos on conga; on "Down by the Riverside" (from February 17) pianist Bobby Timmons and Buck Clarke on congas join Jones, Taylor, and Cobb. The saxman's treatments of "Blue Me" and five veteran songs ("Lover Come Back to Me," "Blue Lou," "Swanee River," "Down by the Riverside," and "Sometimes I'm Happy") are melodic, soulful, and swinging. An excellent if brief (at 36 minutes) effort.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Durante 1959-1960, el duro pero sentimental saxofonista tenor Arnett Cobb grabó seis álbumes para Prestige; su siguiente grabación como líder no sería hasta 1971. En esta reedición en CD, Cobb interpreta selecciones de quinteto con el pianista Tommy Flanagan, el bajista Sam Jones, el batería Art Taylor y Danny Barrajanos a la conga; en "Down by the Riverside" (del 17 de febrero), el pianista Bobby Timmons y Buck Clarke a las congas se unen a Jones, Taylor y Cobb. Los tratamientos del saxofonista de "Blue Me" y cinco canciones veteranas ("Lover Come Back to Me", "Blue Lou", "Swanee River", "Down by the Riverside" y "Sometimes I'm Happy") son melódicos, conmovedores y con swing. Un trabajo excelente aunque breve (36 minutos).
