Arnett Cobb • Blow Arnett, Blow

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Arnett Cobb's debut for Prestige and his first recording as a leader in three years (due to a serious car accident in 1956) is an explosive affair. Cobb is matched up with fellow tough tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, and there are plenty of sparks set off by their encounter. With organist Wild Bill Davis, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Arthur Edgehill keeping the proceedings heated, Cobb and Davis tangle on a variety of basic material, alternating uptempo romps such as "Go Power" and "Go Red Go" with slightly more sober pieces highlighted by "When I Grow Too Old to Dream." This is a great matchup (reissued on CD through the OJC imprint) that lives up to its potential.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El debut de Arnett Cobb para Prestige y su primera grabación como líder en tres años (debido a un grave accidente de coche en 1956) es un asunto explosivo. Cobb forma pareja con el tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, y su encuentro hace saltar chispas. Con el organista Wild Bill Davis, el bajista George Duvivier y el batería Arthur Edgehill manteniendo el ritmo, Cobb y Davis se enzarzan en una variedad de material básico, alternando rompepistas uptempo como "Go Power" y "Go Red Go" con piezas ligeramente más sobrias destacadas por "When I Grow Too Old to Dream". Se trata de una gran combinación (reeditada en CD a través del sello OJC) que está a la altura de su potencial.
