Roy Eldridge • Roy's Got Rhythm

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Between his Paris sessions of 1950 and 1951 for Vogue, trumpeter Roy Eldridge traveled to Sweden and recorded nine spirited selections for Metronome which were reissued on this EmArcy LP. None of Eldridge's sidemen (except for clarinetist Ove Lind who is just on two songs) gained much of a reputation outside of Sweden, but they fare well during these fairly basic performances which are based in swing but also influenced a little by early rhythm & blues. Highlights include "The Heat's On," the two-part "Saturday Nite Fish Fry," "School Days," "Echoes of Harlem" and a pair of numbers that feature Charles Norman on harpsichord. A bit of a collector's item, this LP will be difficult to find.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Entre sus sesiones de París de 1950 y 1951 para Vogue, el trompetista Roy Eldridge viajó a Suecia y grabó nueve selecciones animadas para Metronome que fueron reeditadas en este LP de EmArcy. Ninguno de los acompañantes de Eldridge (excepto el clarinetista Ove Lind, que solo está en dos canciones) ganó mucha reputación fuera de Suecia, pero les va bien durante estas actuaciones bastante básicas que se basan en el swing pero también están influenciadas un poco por el rhythm & blues temprano. Los aspectos más destacados incluyen "The Heat's On", las dos partes "Saturday Nite Fish Fry", "School Days", "Echoes of Harlem" y un par de números que presentan a Charles Norman en el clavicordio. Un poco de un artículo de coleccionista, este LP será difícil de encontrar.
