Review
by Scott Yanow
Flutist
Jerome Richardson (who switches to tenor on one of the five selections
on this CD reissue) has long been underrated and has had relatively few
opportunities to lead his own record dates -- only four up to the
present time, of which Midnight Oil was the first. The music (three of
Richardson's originals, Artie Shaw's "Lyric," and the standard
"Caravan") is performed in swinging fashion by Richardson, trombonist
Jimmy Cleveland (the unusual flute-trombone blend heard on three of the
songs is quite pleasing), pianist Hank Jones, guitarist Kenny Burrell,
bassist Joe Benjamin, and drummer Charlie Persip. This set offers
cool-toned bop that, although brief in playing time (just over 35
minutes), is enjoyable.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El
flautista Jerome Richardson (que cambia a tenor en una de las cinco
selecciones de esta reedición en CD) ha sido infravalorado durante mucho
tiempo y ha tenido relativamente pocas oportunidades de liderar sus
propias citas discográficas - sólo cuatro hasta el momento, de las
cuales Midnight Oil fue la primera. La música (tres originales de
Richardson, "Lyric" de Artie Shaw, y el estándar "Caravan") es
interpretada con swing por Richardson, el trombonista Jimmy Cleveland
(la inusual mezcla de flauta y trombón que se escucha en tres de las
canciones es muy agradable), el pianista Hank Jones, el guitarrista
Kenny Burrell, el bajista Joe Benjamin, y el baterista Charlie Persip.
Este conjunto ofrece un bop de tono fresco que, aunque breve en tiempo
de ejecución (poco más de 35 minutos), es agradable.
