Woody Shaw • Cassandranite

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Originally titled In The Beginning, the music on this set was not released for the first time until 1983 (titled In The Beginning) and has since been reissued under the Cassandranite title on CD. Trumpeter Woody Shaw's debut as a leader (cut five years before his second session) has its strong moments. Shaw was not yet as distinctive as he would become, but on the set of group originals (best known is Joe Henderson's "Tetragon"), Shaw keeps up with his illustrious sidemen which include tenorman Henderson, either Larry Young or Herbie Hancock on piano (this was one of organist Young's very few sessions on that instrument), either Ron Carter or Paul Chambers on bass and drummer Joe Chambers. Excellent advanced hard bop music and particularly interesting from a historical standpoint.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Originalmente titulado In The Beginning, la música de este conjunto no se publicó por primera vez hasta 1983 (bajo el título In The Beginning) y desde entonces se ha reeditado en CD bajo el título Cassandranite. El debut del trompetista Woody Shaw como líder (grabado cinco años antes de su segunda sesión) tiene sus momentos fuertes. Shaw todavía no era tan distintivo como llegaría a ser, pero en el conjunto de originales del grupo (el más conocido es "Tetragon" de Joe Henderson), Shaw se mantiene a la altura de sus ilustres acompañantes que incluyen al tenor Henderson, Larry Young o Herbie Hancock al piano (esta fue una de las pocas sesiones del organista Young con ese instrumento), Ron Carter o Paul Chambers al bajo y el batería Joe Chambers. Excelente música hard bop avanzada y particularmente interesante desde un punto de vista histórico.
