Philly Joe Jones • Drum Songs

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Hard bop is spoken here on this straight ahead set. Drummer Philly Joe Jones is the leader but the main emphasis is on such soloists as trumpeter Blue Mitchell (heard in one of his last recordings), the tenors of Harold Land and Charles Bowen, pianist Cedar Walton and trombonist Slide Hampton who arranged the four full-band numbers. Hampton (who also contributed two originals) gets "I Wait for You" as his feature while Bowen is showcased on "High Fly." In addition, these versions of "Our Delight" and "Two Bass Hit" have their heated moments.

Hard bop se habla aquí en este set directo. El baterista Philly Joe Jones es el líder, pero el énfasis principal está en solistas como el trompetista Blue Mitchell (escuchado en una de sus últimas grabaciones), los tenores de Harold Land y Charles Bowen, el pianista Cedar Walton y el trombonista Slide Hampton que arreglaron los cuatro números de banda completa. Hampton (quien también contribuyó con dos originales) obtiene "I Wait for You" como su característica, mientras que Bowen se muestra en " High Fly. Además, estas versiones de "Our Delight "y" Two Bass Hit " tienen sus momentos calientes.
