Woody Shaw • Solid

 

 



Review
by Scott Yanow
This CD serves as a perfect introduction to the memorable but always underrated trumpeter Woody Shaw, who tragically had only three years left to live - Sticking to jazz standards (including "There Will Never Be Another You," a ten-minute rendition of "It Might as Well Be Spring," and a surprisingly effective up-tempo romp through "The Woody Woodpecker Song"), Shaw is heard in a quartet with pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Neil Swainson, and drummer Victor Jones, leading a quintet on two numbers with the up-and-coming altoist Kenny Garrett, and welcoming guest guitarist Peter Leitch to a sextet rendition of Sonny Rollins' "Solid." A gem.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Este CD sirve de perfecta introducción al memorable pero siempre infravalorado trompetista Woody Shaw, a quien trágicamente sólo le quedaban tres años de vida - Ciñéndose a los estándares del jazz (incluyendo "There Will Never Be Another You", una interpretación de diez minutos de "It Might as Well Be Spring", y un sorprendentemente efectivo revolcón up-tempo a través de "The Woody Woodpecker Song"), Shaw es escuchado en un cuarteto con el pianista Kenny Barron, el bajista Neil Swainson y el batería Victor Jones, liderando un quinteto en dos números con el prometedor contralto Kenny Garrett, y dando la bienvenida al guitarrista invitado Peter Leitch en una interpretación en sexteto de "Solid" de Sonny Rollins - "Una joya.
