Kenny Burrell & Jimmy Raney • 2 Guitars

 



Review by Scott Yanow
For this 1957 studio session, the two distinctive but complementary guitarists Kenny Burrell and Jimmy Raney are teamed up in a septet with trumpeter Donald Byrd, altoist Jackie McLean, pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Taylor. The full group gets to stretch out on one original each by Watkins and McLean ("Little Melonae") and three from Waldron, while the two standards ("Close Your Eyes" and "Out of Nowhere") are individual features for Burrell and Raney. This is a well-rounded set that may not contain any real surprises, but will be enjoyed by collectors of hard bop.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Para esta sesión de estudio de 1957, los dos guitarristas distintivos pero complementarios Kenny Burrell y Jimmy Raney se unen en un septeto con el trompetista Donald Byrd, el trompetista Jackie McLean, el pianista Mal Waldron, el bajista Doug Watkins y el baterista Art Taylor. El grupo completo se extiende sobre un original de Watkins y McLean ("Little Melonae") y tres de Waldron, mientras que los dos estándares ("Close Your Eyes" y "Out of Nowhere") son características individuales de Burrell y Raney. Se trata de un conjunto completo que puede no contener sorpresas reales, pero que será disfrutado por los coleccionistas de hard bop.
