Charles McPherson • The Quintet Live!

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Altoist Charles McPherson and pianist Barry Harris are the stars of this live bop-oriented session. Trumpeter Lonnie Hillyer does his best although he stumbles a bit on the rapid "Shaw 'Nuff," drummer Billy Higgins and the forgotten bassist Ray McKinney are fine in support and the repertoire (ranging from the funky "The Viper" and "I Can't Get Started" to "Here's That Rainy Day" and the recent "Never Let Me Go") is diverse and challenging. It's an excellent CD overall.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El contralto Charles McPherson y el pianista Barry Harris son las estrellas de esta sesión en directo orientada al bop. El trompetista Lonnie Hillyer hace lo que puede aunque tropieza un poco en la rápida "Shaw 'Nuff", el batería Billy Higgins y el olvidado bajista Ray McKinney están bien como apoyo y el repertorio (que va desde la funky "The Viper" y "I Can't Get Started" a "Here's That Rainy Day" y la reciente "Never Let Me Go") es diverso y desafiante. En conjunto, es un CD excelente.
