Harold Vick • Steppin' Out!

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This soul-jazz outing by tenor saxophonist Harold Vick (his recording debut as a leader) casts him in a role that was often occupied by Stanley Turrentine. Vick, with a quintet that also includes trumpeter Blue Mitchell, guitarist Grant Green, organist John Patton, and drummer Ben Dixon, performs four blues, a slightly trickier original (five of the six songs are his), plus the ballad "Laura" on this CD reissue. There are no real surprises, but no disappointments either on what would be Harold Vick's only chance to lead a Blue Note date. At 27, he was already a fine player.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Esta salida soul-jazz del saxofonista tenor Harold Vick (su debut discográfico como líder) le sitúa en un papel que a menudo ocupó Stanley Turrentine. Vick, con un quinteto que también incluye al trompetista Blue Mitchell, al guitarrista Grant Green, al organista John Patton y al batería Ben Dixon, interpreta cuatro blues, un original un poco más complicado (cinco de las seis canciones son suyas), más la balada "Laura" en esta reedición en CD. No hay verdaderas sorpresas, pero tampoco decepciones en la que sería la única oportunidad de Harold Vick de encabezar una fecha de Blue Note. A los 27 años, ya era un excelente intérprete.
