Brew Moore • West Coast Brew Quartet & Quintet Sessions 1955-1958



Review:
West Coast Brew: Quartet & Quintet Sessions 1955-1958 combines two of tenor saxophonist Brew Moore's early albums for the Fantasy label: 1956's The Brew Moore Quintet and 1958's Brew Moore. A journeyman musician with an itinerant's penchant for living gig to gig, Moore was a Lester Young acolyte and these dates find him in superb cool jazz form. Joining Moore here is a handful of lesser-known musicians, including pianist John Marabuto, trumpeter Dick Mills, tenor saxophonist Harold Wylie, and others. Interestingly, future Peanuts composer pianist Vince Guaraldi is featured on the latter dates in 1958. Although these dates are available in various reissues, it's nice to have them all collected on one disc, given that they all originate from a specific time and place in Moore's early career.

Revisión:
West Coast Brew: Quartet & Quintet Sessions 1955-1958 combina dos de los primeros álbumes del saxofonista tenor Brew Moore para el sello Fantasy: El Quinteto Brew Moore de 1956 y Brew Moore de 1958. Un músico viajero con una inclinación itinerante por vivir de concierto en concierto, Moore fue un acólito de Lester Young y estas fechas lo encuentran en una magnífica forma de cool jazz. Junto a Moore hay un puñado de músicos menos conocidos, incluyendo el pianista John Marabuto, el trompetista Dick Mills, el saxofonista tenor Harold Wylie, y otros. Curiosamente, el futuro pianista compositor de Peanuts, Vince Guaraldi, aparece en estas últimas fechas en 1958. Aunque estas fechas están disponibles en varias reediciones, es bueno tenerlas todas reunidas en un solo disco, dado que todas ellas se originan en un momento y lugar específico en los comienzos de la carrera de Moore.
