Woody Shaw • Little Red's Fantasy

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Woody Shaw was one of the great trumpeters of the 1970s. Although his sound was influenced by Freddie Hubbard, Shaw's more advanced improvisations on his modal originals were quite original and fiery. This Muse set has three of his compositions (including "In Case You Haven't Heard") and a song apiece from pianist Ronnie Mathews and bassist Stafford James; altoist Frank Strozier and drummer Eddie Moore complete the quintet. The varied originals give the musicians strong foundations for their freewheeling and spontaneous solos, making this one of Woody Shaw's better recordings.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Woody Shaw fue uno de los grandes trompetistas de los años setenta. Aunque su sonido estaba influenciado por Freddie Hubbard, las improvisaciones más avanzadas de Shaw sobre sus originales modales eran bastante originales y fogosas. Este álbum de Muse contiene tres de sus composiciones (incluida «In Case You Haven't Heard») y una canción cada uno del pianista Ronnie Mathews y el bajista Stafford James; el contralto Frank Strozier y el batería Eddie Moore completan el quinteto. Los variados temas originales proporcionan a los músicos una base sólida para sus solos espontáneos y desenfrenados, haciendo de ésta una de las mejores grabaciones de Woody Shaw.
