Jerome Richardson • Midnight Oil

 

 



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.
