Review
by Alex Henderson
Buddy and Claude combines two 1960 sessions on a single 74-minute CD. The first is Yes Indeed!, a Claude Hopkins date that features Buddy Tate prominently and also employs trumpeter Emmett Berry, bassist Wendell Marshall, and drummer Osie Johnson. The other is Tate's Tate-A-Tate, which doesn't employ pianist Hopkins at all, but boasts Clark Terry on trumpet and flügelhorn, Tommy Flanagan on piano, Larry Gales on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. When these swing-to-bop sessions were recorded, Tate was in his late 40s, and his breathy tenor playing continued to reflect his years in the Count Basie Orchestra. Indeed, Basie's influence is prominent on both sessions, and it comes through whether Tate is swinging passionately on Duke Ellington's "It Don't Mean a Thing" and Billy Strayhorn's "Take the A Train," blowing the blues on "Empty Bed Blues," or favoring smoky, sentimental ballad playing on "What Is This Thing Called Love," "All Too Soon," and "Willow Weep for Me." It's interesting to note that Hopkins and Flanagan interact with Tate equally well -- even though they were two very different pianists. Hopkins started out as a stride pianist, whereas Flanagan (who was 27 years younger) became well known in the 1950s and was primarily a hard bopper. Both pianists enjoy a strong rapport with Tate, and both of them do their part to make Buddy and Claude the rewarding reissue that it is.

Reseña
por Alex Henderson
Buddy and Claude combina dos sesiones de 1960 en un único CD de 74 minutos. La primera es Yes Indeed!, una fecha de Claude Hopkins en la que Buddy Tate ocupa un lugar destacado y en la que también trabajan el trompetista Emmett Berry, el bajista Wendell Marshall y el batería Osie Johnson. El otro es Tate-A-Tate de Tate, que no emplea al pianista Hopkins en absoluto, pero cuenta con Clark Terry a la trompeta y flügelhorn, Tommy Flanagan al piano, Larry Gales al bajo y Art Taylor a la batería. Cuando se grabaron estas sesiones de swing-to-bop, Tate rondaba los 40 años, y su soplo de tenor seguía reflejando sus años en la orquesta de Count Basie. De hecho, la influencia de Basie es prominente en ambas sesiones, y se percibe tanto si Tate está tocando apasionadamente "It Don't Mean a Thing" de Duke Ellington y "Take the A Train" de Billy Strayhorn, soplando blues en "Empty Bed Blues", o favoreciendo una balada humeante y sentimental en "What Is This Thing Called Love", "All Too Soon" y "Willow Weep for Me". Es interesante observar que Hopkins y Flanagan interactúan con Tate igual de bien, a pesar de que eran dos pianistas muy diferentes. Hopkins empezó como pianista de stride, mientras que Flanagan (27 años más joven) se dio a conocer en los años 50 y era principalmente un pianista de hard bopper. Ambos pianistas disfrutan de una gran compenetración con Tate, y ambos ponen de su parte para hacer de Buddy and Claude la gratificante reedición que es.
