Arnett Cobb With The Red Garland Trio • Blue And Sentimental

Review by Scott Yanow
This CD reissue combines together tenor saxophonist Arnett Cobb's two LPs, Sizzlin' and Ballads by Cobb. The former session has a good mixture of stomps and ballads with highlights including "Black Velvet," "Georgia on My Mind," and "The Way You Look Tonight." The latter date (originally cut for the Moodsville label) is all slow ballads and, despite the warmth in Cobb's tone, a certain sameness pervades the performances. Pianist Red Garland and drummer J.C. Heard are on both sessions with either George Tucker or George Duvivier on bass. Good music but not quite essential.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Esta reedición en CD combina los dos LPs del saxofonista tenor Arnett Cobb, Sizzlin' y Ballads by Cobb. La primera sesión tiene una buena mezcla de stomps y baladas con temas destacados como «Black Velvet», «Georgia on My Mind» y «The Way You Look Tonight». La segunda sesión (grabada originalmente para el sello Moodsville) es todo baladas lentas y, a pesar de la calidez en el tono de Cobb, una cierta uniformidad impregna las interpretaciones. El pianista Red Garland y el batería J.C. Heard participan en ambas sesiones con George Tucker o George Duvivier al bajo. Buena música, pero no del todo esencial.
