Review
by Scott Yanow
Woody Shaw was one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time and all of his music deserves to be reissued and studied. This two-CD set is merely a sampling of his works, and despite some excellent liner notes from Michael Cuscuna, the programming is a bit odd. The second disc has the earliest recordings including two items ("Nutville" and "The Moontrane") that were leased and originally part of sessions led by pianist Horace Silver and organist Larry Young. In addition, there are four selections from the 1965 recording Cassandranite (which, like the rest of the material, was originally issued by Muse) and two numbers from 1974. The first disc has "Jitterbug Waltz" from the 1977 recording The Iron Men, and draws its six other selections (dating from 1983-87) from the Setting Standards, Imagination and Solid albums. The music is quite rewarding and the sidemen include Anthony Braxton on clarinet (for "Jitterbug Waltz"); pianists Cedar Walton, Kenny Barron and Herbie Hancock; trombonist Steve Turre; altoist Kenny Garrett; and tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, among many others. But true Woody Shaw fans will prefer to get the original sessions in full, and fortunately 32 Jazz has also been gradually reissuing all of their Shaw Muse albums.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Woody Shaw fue uno de los mejores trompetistas de jazz de todos los tiempos y toda su música merece ser reeditada y estudiada. Este conjunto de dos CD es simplemente una muestra de sus obras, y a pesar de algunas excelentes notas de Michael Cuscuna, la programación es un poco extraña. El segundo disco contiene las primeras grabaciones, incluidos dos temas ("Nutville" y "The Moontrane") que fueron alquilados y que originalmente formaban parte de sesiones dirigidas por el pianista Horace Silver y el organista Larry Young. Además, hay cuatro selecciones de la grabación de 1965 Cassandranite (que, como el resto del material, fue publicado originalmente por Muse) y dos números de 1974. El primer disco contiene "Jitterbug Waltz" de la grabación de 1977 The Iron Men, y extrae sus otras seis selecciones (que datan de 1983-87) de los álbumes Setting Standards, Imagination y Solid. La música es muy gratificante y entre los acompañantes figuran Anthony Braxton al clarinete (para "Jitterbug Waltz"); los pianistas Cedar Walton, Kenny Barron y Herbie Hancock; el trombonista Steve Turre; el contralto Kenny Garrett; y el saxofonista tenor Joe Henderson, entre muchos otros. Pero los verdaderos fans de Woody Shaw preferirán conseguir las sesiones originales al completo y, afortunadamente, 32 Jazz también ha ido reeditando poco a poco todos sus discos Shaw Muse.
