Review:
by Ken Dryden
One
of two unusual sessions featuring tenor saxophonist Bud Freeman with
guitarists George Barnes and Carl Kress, this studio date for United
Artists was recorded a year after a live performance in 1962, but it was
issued decades sooner. Regardless whether the trio is playing a
standard, a classic jazz composition, or an original of their own, they
swing effortlessly together, with Freeman typically leading the way and a
guitar solo to follow. The lively unison line between the tenor sax and
the lead guitar combine to sound somewhat like an accordion in the
lively opener, "The Eel's Nephew." Other highlights include "Doctor
Paycer's Dilemma" (evidently composed at the session) and a perky take
of Rodgers & Hart's "Mountain Greenery." The liner notes don't
indicate which of the two guitarists is soloing on a track-by-track
basis, although Kress can be identified by his advanced chordal
approach. In the end, it doesn't really matter, however. All three
musicians have been unjustly overlooked since their respective deaths,
but this long unavailable LP is worth pursuing by serious jazz
collectors.

Reseña:
por Ken Dryden
Una
de las dos sesiones inusuales que presentan al saxofonista tenor Bud
Freeman con los guitarristas George Barnes y Carl Kress, esta fecha de
estudio para United Artists se grabó un año después de una actuación en
vivo en 1962, pero se publicó décadas antes. Independientemente de si el
trío está tocando un estándar, una composición clásica de jazz o un
original propio, se balancean juntos sin esfuerzo, con Freeman
normalmente liderando el camino y un solo de guitarra para seguir. La
animada línea al unísono entre el saxo tenor y la guitarra principal se
combinan para sonar algo así como un acordeón en el animado comienzo,
"The Eel's Nephew". Otros temas destacados son "Doctor Paycer's Dilemma"
(evidentemente compuesto en la sesión) y una alegre toma de "Mountain
Greenery" de Rodgers & Hart. Las notas del disco no indican cuál de
los dos guitarristas hace el solo pista por pista, aunque Kress puede
ser identificado por su avanzada aproximación a los acordes. Sin
embargo, al final, no importa realmente. Los tres músicos han sido
injustamente pasados por alto desde sus respectivas muertes, pero este
LP, que hace tiempo que no está disponible, merece ser buscado por los
coleccionistas de jazz serios.
