Jerome Richardson • Going To The Movies

 

Review
by Ken Dryden  
Movie themes, along with songs from Broadway, have long been fodder for jazz musicians. This United Artists LP features Jerome Richardson leading his working quintet during a live engagement, though the venue is unidentified. The extended workout of Duke Jordan's "No Problem" (from the film Les Liaisons Dangereuses) showcases Richardson's robust baritone sax and Les Spann on flute, with the leader adding a tag at the end on piccolo. Richardson switches to tenor sax and Spann to guitar for a rather brisk arrangement of "Moon River." "Tonight" (from West Side Story) is a bit unusual in that it features both musicians on flute. The potent rhythm section includes pianist Richard Wyands, bassist Henry Grimes, and drummer Grady Tate. Richardson's recordings as a leader after the early '60s were rather sporadic, but this early effort gives a strong indication of his potential. Long out of print, this LP will be difficult to acquire.

Reseña
por Ken Dryden  
Los temas de películas, junto con las canciones de Broadway, han sido durante mucho tiempo pasto de los músicos de jazz. Este LP de United Artists presenta a Jerome Richardson al frente de su quinteto de trabajo durante una actuación en directo, aunque no se identifica el lugar. El extenso ejercicio de "No Problem" de Duke Jordan (de la película Les Liaisons Dangereuses) muestra el robusto saxo barítono de Richardson y a Les Spann a la flauta, con el líder añadiendo una coletilla al final con el flautín. Richardson cambia al saxo tenor y Spann a la guitarra para un arreglo bastante enérgico de "Moon River". "Tonight" (de West Side Story) es un poco inusual, ya que cuenta con ambos músicos en la flauta. La potente sección rítmica incluye al pianista Richard Wyands, al bajista Henry Grimes y al batería Grady Tate. Las grabaciones de Richardson como líder después de principios de los 60 fueron más bien esporádicas, pero este primer trabajo es un claro indicio de su potencial. Agotado hace tiempo, este LP será difícil de encontrar.
