Ernie Watts-Pete Christlieb-Rickey Woodard • The Tenor Trio

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Tenors Ernie Watts, Pete Christlieb and Rickey Woodard are matched up for what is essentially a well-organized boppish jam session. With pianist Gerry Wiggins, bassist Chuck Berghofer and drummer Frank Capp offering fine support, the saxophonists perform 11 songs together, all of which are taken at least at a medium tempo. The repertoire is fairly typical for a jam of this nature, with such songs as "Blues Up and Down," "Groovin' High," Dexter Gordon's "Fried Bananas," and "Little Pony" being given spirited treatment. Watts takes the most intense solos, Christlieb swings up a storm, and Woodard (if a little overshadowed) also fares well. The inclusion of a ballad medley and maybe an individual feature or two might have givem the date more variety, but the results are quite fun.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Los tenores Ernie Watts, Pete Christlieb y Rickey Woodard se emparejan para lo que es esencialmente una jam session boppish bien organizada. Con el pianista Gerry Wiggins, el bajista Chuck Berghofer y el baterista Frank Capp ofreciendo un buen apoyo, los saxofonistas interpretan juntos 11 canciones, todas ellas tomadas al menos a un tempo medio. El repertorio es bastante típico para una jam de esta naturaleza, con canciones como "Blues Up and Down", "Groovin' High", "Fried Bananas" de Dexter Gordon y "Little Pony", que reciben un tratamiento enérgico. Watts hace los solos más intensos, Christlieb se balancea como una tormenta, y Woodard (aunque un poco eclipsado) también lo hace bien. La inclusión de un popurrí de baladas y tal vez uno o dos solos individuales podría haber dado más variedad a la cita, pero el resultado es bastante divertido.
