Stanley Cowell-Billy Harper-Reggie Workman-Billy Hart • Such Great Friends

 

A lost bit of late Strata East -- and an all-star session that never lets up! The album's a quartet effort - led by Stanley Cowell, but equally featuring participation from Billy Harper on tenor, Reggie Workman on bass, and Billy Hart on drums.

The overall feel is a lot like Harper's own work from the time - particularly his late 70s Japanese sessions - driven strongly by Cowell's modal approach to the groove, a sound that's perfectly executed by the team of Workman and Hart. The tracks are all quite long, spinning out with a freely expressive approach.

Un poco perdido de late Strata East and ¡y una sesión de estrellas que nunca cesa! El álbum es un esfuerzo de cuarteto, liderado por Stanley Cowell, pero igualmente con la participación de Billy Harper al tenor, Reggie Workman al bajo y Billy Hart a la batería.

La sensación general se parece mucho al trabajo del propio Harper de la época, particularmente sus sesiones japonesas de finales de los 70, impulsadas fuertemente por el enfoque modal de Cowell hacia el groove, un sonido que está perfectamente ejecutado por el equipo de Workman y Hart. Las pistas son todas bastante largas, girando con un enfoque libremente expresivo.
