Arnett Cobb • Smooth Sailing

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This CD reissue brings back a typically swinging date by tenor saxophonist Arnett Cobb. The colorful trombonist Buster Cooper (who was not featured in enough small group sessions through the years) seems to inspire Cobb; the rhythm section (organist Austin Mitchell, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Osie Johnson) proves a strong asset for this music. Four standards (three from the swing era plus Cobb's "Smooth Sailing") alternate with a blues and a couple of up-tempo riff numbers. Arnett Cobb's solos are typically emotional and generally exciting during the fine set.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Esta reedición en CD recupera una fecha típicamente swing del saxofonista tenor Arnett Cobb. El colorido trombonista Buster Cooper (que no apareció en suficientes sesiones de grupos pequeños a lo largo de los años) parece inspirar a Cobb; la sección rítmica (el organista Austin Mitchell, el bajista George Duvivier y el batería Osie Johnson) demuestra ser un fuerte activo para esta música. Cuatro estándares (tres de la era del swing más "Smooth Sailing" de Cobb) se alternan con un blues y un par de números con riffs de ritmo acelerado. Los solos de Arnett Cobb son típicamente emotivos y, en general, emocionantes durante el buen conjunto.
