Paul Bley • Introducing Paul Bley

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Pianist Paul Bley's debut as a leader features the 21-year old in a trio with bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Art Blakey for Mingus' Debut label. The CD reissue, which adds four performances to the original program, finds Bley developing his voice within the bebop tradition. Mixing together stimulating originals such as "Opus 1" and "Spontaneous Combustion" with a few standards, Horace Silver's "Split Kick" and a surprisingly effective version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," Paul Bley may not have been distinctive this early on but he clearly had a potentially strong future.

El debut del pianista Paul Bley como líder presenta al joven de 21 años en un trío con el bajista Charles Mingus y el baterista Art Blakey para el sello Debut de Mingus. La reedición del CD, que agrega cuatro actuaciones al programa original, encuentra a Bley desarrollando su voz dentro de la tradición del bebop. Mezclando originales estimulantes como "Opus 1" y "Spontaneous Combustion" con algunos estándares, "Split Kick" de Horace Silver y una versión sorprendentemente efectiva de "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", Paul Bley puede no haber sido distintivo tan temprano pero claramente tenía un futuro potencialmente fuerte.
