Jack Wilson • Something Personal

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
On this CD reissue, pianist Jack Wilson's first of three albums for Blue Note, the emphasis is on his interaction with vibraphonist Roy Ayers. Some of the selections recall the Modern Jazz Quartet, while a few of the other songs look toward Herbie Hancock and Bobby Hutcherson. The other musicians on the date are bassist Ray Brown (who plays cello on two numbers that include Charles Williams, Jr. on bass) and drummer Varney Barlow. In two cases (Ornette Coleman's "The Sphinx" and Wilson's "Shosh"), complex melody statements are succeeded by disappointingly conventional chordal jams, but in general this album is an excellent showcase for the often-overlooked Jack Wilson.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
En esta reedición en CD, el primero de los tres álbumes del pianista Jack Wilson para Blue Note, se hace hincapié en su interacción con el vibrafonista Roy Ayersers. Algunas de las selecciones recuerdan al Modern Jazz Quartet, mientras que algunas de las otras canciones miran hacia Herbie Hancock y Bobby Hutcherson. Los otros músicos de la fecha son el bajista Ray Brown (que toca el violonchelo en dos números que incluyen a Charles Williams, Jr. al bajo) y el batería Varney Barlow. En dos casos ("The Sphinx", de Ornette Coleman, y "Shosh", de Wilson), las complejas melodías son sustituidas por acordes decepcionantemente convencionales, pero en general este álbum es un excelente escaparate para el a menudo ignorado Jack Wilson.
