Horace Parlan • On The Spur Of The Moment

 

Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Again working with his longtime rhythm section of George Tucker (bass) and Al Harewood (drums), Horace Parlan manages to On the Spur of the Moment make distinctive by emphasizing the rhythmic side of his hard bop. Tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine and trumpeter Tommy Turrentine help give the quintet a bluesy edge, which the band exploits to an appealing effect throughout these six, mostly original, compositions. There are a few ballads, and even when things are at their hottest, Parlan's understated playing is a cue for the group to keep it tasteful, but that relaxed atmosphere is part of the reason why On the Spur of the Moment is another winning effort from the underrated pianist.

Reseña
por Stephen Thomas Erlewine
De nuevo trabajando con su sección rítmica de toda la vida de George Tucker (bajo) y Al Harewood (batería), Horace Parlan consigue en On the Spur of the Moment hacer distintivo enfatizando el lado rítmico de su hard bop. El saxofonista tenor Stanley Turrentine y el trompetista Tommy Turrentine ayudan a dar al quinteto un toque bluesy, que la banda explota con un efecto atractivo a lo largo de estas seis composiciones, en su mayoría originales. Hay algunas baladas, e incluso cuando las cosas están en su punto más caliente, la discreta interpretación de Parlan es una señal para que el grupo mantenga el buen gusto, pero ese ambiente relajado es parte de la razón por la que On the Spur of the Moment es otro esfuerzo ganador del subestimado pianista.
