Jon Faddis • Legacy

 

After too long a period in the studios, talented trumpeter Jon Faddis returned to jazz with this brilliant effort. Best known for his ability to closely emulate his idol, Dizzy Gillespie (far from an easy feat), Faddis pays tribute to Gillespie with "Night in Tunisia" and "Things to Come." However, he also does a close imitation of Roy Eldridge on "Little Jazz," pays homage to Louis Armstrong on "West End Blues," shows sensitivity on Thad Jones' "A Child Is Born," and performs three other numbers. With the assistance of tenor saxophonist Harold Land, pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Mel Lewis, Jon Faddis is in superb form throughout this outstanding release, his definitive recording.

Tras un período demasiado largo en los estudios, el talentoso trompetista Jon Faddis regresó al jazz con este brillante esfuerzo. Más conocido por su capacidad para emular de cerca a su ídolo, Dizzy Gillespie (una hazaña nada fácil), Faddis rinde homenaje a Gillespie con «Night in Tunisia» y «Things to Come». Sin embargo, también imita a Roy Eldridge en «Little Jazz», rinde homenaje a Louis Armstrong en «West End Blues», muestra sensibilidad en «A Child Is Born» de Thad Jones e interpreta otros tres números. Con la ayuda del saxofonista tenor Harold Land, el pianista Kenny Barron, el bajista Ray Brown y el batería Mel Lewis, Jon Faddis está en una forma soberbia a lo largo de este excepcional lanzamiento, su grabación definitiva.
