David Murray • Morning Song

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
For David Murray, this is a fairly straightforward quartet date. Joined by pianist John Hicks, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Ed Blackwell, Murray performs three of his lesser-known originals, Butch Morris' "Light Blue Frolic," "Body and Soul" and "Jitterbug Waltz." Doubling on tenor and bass clarinet, Murray as usual has a tendency to jump into the extreme upper register a bit too much at unexpected times, disrupting a relatively mellow mood on a few occasions. But one cannot deny his musicianship, and there are some exciting moments to be heard during this program.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Para David Murray, esta es una cita de cuarteto bastante sencilla. Acompañado por el pianista John Hicks, el bajista Reggie Workman y el batería Ed Blackwell, Murray interpreta tres de sus originales menos conocidos, "Light Blue Frolic" de Butch Morris, "Body and Soul" y "Jitterbug Waltz". Doble en el clarinete tenor y bajo, Murray, como de costumbre, tiene una tendencia a saltar al registro superior extremo un poco demasiado en momentos inesperados, interrumpiendo un estado de ánimo relativamente suave en algunas ocasiones. Pero no se puede negar su musicalidad, y se pueden escuchar algunos momentos emocionantes durante este programa.
