Bob Brookmeyer • Bob Brookmeyer & Friends

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This somewhat obscure session was reissued on LP by Columbia in 1980. Valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer and tenor-great Stan Getz (who had played together regularly a decade prior) had a reunion for this date, performing five standards and three Brookmeyer originals. The young rhythm section (pianist Herbie Hancock, vibraphonist Gary Burton, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Elvin Jones) uplifts what would have been a fairly conventional (although high quality) bop date.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Esta sesión un tanto oscura fue reeditada en LP por Columbia en 1980. El trombonista de válvulas Bob Brookmeyer y el gran tenor Stan Getz (que habían tocado juntos regularmente una década antes) se reencontraron para esta fecha, interpretando cinco estándares y tres originales de Brookmeyer. La joven sección rítmica (el pianista Herbie Hancock, el vibrafonista Gary Burton, el bajista Ron Carter y el batería Elvin Jones) eleva lo que habría sido una fecha de bop bastante convencional (aunque de gran calidad).
