Review
by Scott Yanow
Other
than a couple of albums for tiny collector's labels, this Muse album
was Al Cohn's first album as a leader since 1962. Cohn had spent much of
the interim as a full-time writer for studios and was finally returning
to active playing. He renewed his musical partnership with Zoot Sims on
this quintet date for Muse, which also includes pianist Jaki Byard,
bassist George Duvivier and drummer Mel Lewis. Cohn and Sims still had
very complementary sounds and personalities, so their collaboration on
Body and Soul [Muse] holds its own against their earlier dates. Zoot
switches to soprano on "Jean"; Cohn is in top form on "Body and Soul."
and the three-song "Brazilian Medley" works quite well. This is pleasing
and frequently lyrical music.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Aparte
de un par de álbumes para pequeños sellos de coleccionistas, este álbum
de Muse fue el primero de Al Cohn como líder desde 1962. Cohn había
pasado gran parte del tiempo intermedio como escritor a tiempo completo
para estudios y finalmente volvía a tocar en activo. Renovó su
asociación musical con Zoot Sims en esta fecha del quinteto para Muse,
que también incluye al pianista Jaki Byard, al bajista George Duvivier y
al baterista Mel Lewis. Cohn y Sims seguían teniendo sonidos y
personalidades muy complementarias, por lo que su colaboración en Body
and Soul [Muse] se mantiene a la altura de sus anteriores citas. Zoot
cambia a soprano en "Jean"; Cohn está en plena forma en "Body and Soul" y
el "Brazilian Medley" de tres canciones funciona bastante bien. Es una
música agradable y a menudo lírica.
