Max Roach Double Quartet • Bright Moments

 

Review by Scott Yanow
The combination of drummer Max Roach's regular group (which includes trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater, tenor saxophonist Odean Pope and electric bassist Tyrone Brown) with the Uptown String Quartet to form his Double Quartet works extremely well. Because the strings get to improvise and are not restricted to the background, the interplay between the two groups is a special highlight of this particularly strong outing. In addition to works by Pope and Brown (the latter contributed "Tribute to Duke and Mingus"), The Double Quartet interprets Steve Turre's "Double Delight," Randy Weston's "Hi Fly" and Roland Kirk's happy "Bright Moments." A frequently exquisite yet adventurous album, highly recommended.

Crítica de Scott Yanow
La combinación del grupo habitual del baterista Max Roach (que incluye al trompetista Cecil Bridgewater, al saxofonista tenor Odean Pope y al bajista eléctrico Tyrone Brown) con el Uptown String Quartet para formar su Double Quartet funciona extremadamente bien. Como las cuerdas pueden improvisar y no están limitadas a un segundo plano, la interacción entre los dos grupos es uno de los aspectos más destacados de esta salida particularmente potente. Además de obras de Pope y Brown (este último contribuyó con «Tribute to Duke and Mingus»), The Double Quartet interpreta «Double Delight» de Steve Turre, «Hi Fly» de Randy Weston y la alegre «Bright Moments» de Roland Kirk. Un álbum frecuentemente exquisito y a la vez aventurero, muy recomendable.
