Paul Chambers • Bass on Top

 

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Bass on Top is another thoroughly engaging set of straight-ahead, mainstream jazz from Paul Chambers. The bassist leads a quartet comprised of guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Hank Jones, and drummer Art Taylor through a selection of standards, including "Yesterdays," "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," and "Dear Old Stockholm," as well as a handful of contemporary jazz numbers and originals. There's a relaxed, friendly atmosphere to the music, both in its tone and in the fact that Chambers lets Jones and Burrell have some time in the spotlight. The result is a warm, entertaining collection of mainstream jazz that nevertheless rewards close listening.

Reseña de Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Bass on Top es otro atractivo conjunto de jazz directo y mainstream de Paul Chambers. El bajista dirige un cuarteto compuesto por el guitarrista Kenny Burrell, el pianista Hank Jones y el baterista Art Taylor a través de una selección de estándares, incluyendo «Yesterdays», «You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To» y «Dear Old Stockholm», así como un puñado de números de jazz contemporáneo y originales. Hay un ambiente relajado y amistoso en la música, tanto en su tono como en el hecho de que Chambers deja que Jones y Burrell tengan algo de tiempo en el centro de atención. El resultado es una colección cálida y entretenida de jazz convencional que, sin embargo, merece una escucha atenta.
