Charlie Rouse & Seldon Powell • We Paid Our Dues!

 

A really great little album -- featuring some of the best small combo work by tenorists Charlie Rouse and Seldon Powell! The album is split into two parts -- one part featuring work by Rouse with a trio that features Gildo Mahones on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. With Mahones leading the rhythm, the session's a lot more soulful than some of Rouse's other work -- swinging with a lean mean sound that really returns his tenor style to some of its 50s power. The other group on the set features rare small combo work by Seldon Powell -- an excellent tenor player who almost never got to work in small group settings. The rest of Powell's group includes Peck Morrison on bass, Denzil Best on drums, and Lloyd Mayers on piano. Both players are well suited to appear on the same record, and the split in personnel from track to track is less bracing than you might think. Titles include "Two For One", "Quarter Moon", "I Should Care", "Bowl Of Soul", and "For Lester". Note also that the Rouse tracks do not appear on his other full album for Epic, Yeah.

Un pequeño gran álbum que presenta algunos de los mejores trabajos en pequeño combo de los tenoristas Charlie Rouse y Seldon Powell. El álbum está dividido en dos partes: una parte presenta el trabajo de Rouse con un trío que incluye a Gildo Mahones al piano, Reggie Workman al bajo y Art Taylor a la batería. Con Mahones al frente de la rítmica, la sesión es mucho más conmovedora que algunos de los otros trabajos de Rouse: un swing con un sonido esbelto que realmente devuelve a su estilo de tenor parte de su poder de los años 50. El otro grupo de la sesión es un pequeño combo de Seldon Powell, un excelente tenor que casi nunca trabajó en grupos pequeños. El resto del grupo de Powell incluye a Peck Morrison al bajo, Denzil Best a la batería y Lloyd Mayers al piano. Ambos músicos están bien preparados para aparecer en el mismo disco, y la división del personal de una pista a otra es menos molesta de lo que se podría pensar. Los títulos incluyen «Two For One», «Quarter Moon», «I Should Care», «Bowl Of Soul» y «For Lester». Nótese también que los temas de Rouse no aparecen en su otro álbum completo para Epic, Yeah.
