Don Patterson • Boppin' and Burnin'

Review by Scott Yanow

Although organist Don Patterson is the leader of this set that in 1998 was reissued on a CD, the quintet date is most notable for the playing of trumpeter Howard McGhee. McGhee, who had not been heard from much on record for a few years, proves to still be in prime form. Altoist Charles McPherson, the young guitarist Pat Martino and drummer Billy James complete the group. The repertoire is particularly strong with two McGhee originals (including the memorable and haunting "Island Fantasy"), "Epistrophy," "Now's The Time" and a trumpet feature on "Donna Lee." Highly recommended.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Aunque el organista Don Patterson es el líder de este conjunto que en 1998 se reeditó en un CD, la fecha del quinteto es más notable por el hecho de que toca el trompetista Howard McGhee. McGhee, a quien no se había escuchado mucho en el disco durante algunos años, demuestra estar aún en plena forma. El altoista Charles McPherson, el joven guitarrista Pat Martino y el baterista Billy James completan el grupo. El repertorio es particularmente fuerte con dos originales de McGhee (incluyendo la memorable e inolvidable "Island Fantasy"), "Epistrophy", "Now's The Time" y una trompeta que aparece en "Donna Lee". Altamente recomendado.

"Pisces Soul" - 13:58
"Donna Lee" (Miles Davis) - 6:15
"Island Fantasy" - 6:39
"Epistrophy" (Kenny Clarke, Thelonious Monk) - 5:09
"Now's the Time" (Charlie Parker) - 7:37
