Review
by Scott Yanow
Some of the songs on this set by bop-influenced altoist Charles McPherson (reissued on CD in 1997) use boogaloo and pop rhythms. The repertoire ranges from a couple of OK originals ("Little Sugar Baby" and "Like the Way You Shake That Thing") to a recent show tune ("Once in a Lifetime") and a few standards. Pianist Cedar Walton, the young guitarist Pat Martino, bassist Peck Morrison and drummer Lennie McBrowne form the strong supporting cast. Not one of McPherson's most essential releases, as the material and arrangements are just not that strong; nevertheless, the altoist still plays well, and his fans will want to pick up this reissue.

Biography
by Scott Yanow
A Charlie Parker disciple who brings his own lyricism to the bebop language, Charles McPherson has been a reliable figure in modern mainstream jazz for more than 35 years. He played in the Detroit jazz scene of the mid-'50s, moved to New York in 1959, and within a year was working with Charles Mingus. McPherson and his friend Lonnie Hillyer succeeded Eric Dolphy and Ted Curson as regular members of Mingus' band in 1961 and he worked with the bassist off and on up until 1972. Although he and Hillyer had a short-lived quintet in 1966, McPherson was not a full-time leader until 1972. In 1978, he moved to San Diego, which has been his home ever since and sometimes he uses his son, Chuck McPherson, on drums. Charles McPherson, who helped out on the film Bird by playing some of the parts not taken from Charlie Parker records, has led dates through the years for Prestige (1964-1969), Mainstream, Xanadu, Discovery, and Arabesque.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Algunas de las canciones de este set del contralto Charles McPherson (reeditado en CD en 1997) utilizan ritmos boogaloo y pop. El repertorio abarca desde un par de originales ("Little Sugar Baby" y "Like the Way You Shake That Thing") hasta un tema reciente ("Once in a Lifetime") y algunos estándares. El pianista Cedar Walton, el joven guitarrista Pat Martino, el bajista Peck Morrison y el batería Lennie McBrowne forman un sólido elenco de apoyo. No es uno de los discos más esenciales de McPherson, ya que el material y los arreglos no son tan sólidos; sin embargo, el contralto sigue tocando bien, y sus fans querrán hacerse con esta reedición.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Discípulo de Charlie Parker que aporta su propio lirismo al lenguaje bebop, Charles McPherson ha sido una figura fiable en el jazz mainstream moderno durante más de 35 años. Tocó en la escena jazzística de Detroit a mediados de los 50, se trasladó a Nueva York en 1959 y al cabo de un año ya trabajaba con Charles Mingus. McPherson y su amigo Lonnie Hillyer sucedieron a Eric Dolphy y Ted Curson como miembros habituales de la banda de Mingus en 1961 y trabajó con el bajista de forma intermitente hasta 1972. Aunque él y Hillyer formaron un quinteto de corta duración en 1966, McPherson no fue líder a tiempo completo hasta 1972. En 1978, se trasladó a San Diego, que ha sido su hogar desde entonces y en ocasiones utiliza a su hijo, Chuck McPherson, a la batería. Charles McPherson, que colaboró en la película Bird tocando algunas de las partes no extraídas de los discos de Charlie Parker, ha dirigido a lo largo de los años conciertos para Prestige (1964-1969), Mainstream, Xanadu, Discovery y Arabesque.
