Jerry Weldon • The Summit

 

Jerry Weldon brings his bold and bright tenor to the fore with a post bopping team of Alonzo Demetrius/tp, Peter Lin/tb, Mike Bond/p, Jason Clotter/b and Carmen Intorre Jr/dr for a snazzy gig back in 2024 in swinging New Brunswick. The leader is strong and confident as he flexes his muscles on his own ‘Sunny V”, while Demetrius taps into his inner Lee Morgan over Intorre’s exuberatnt drums on “Calling Miss Khadija”. Bond shines with Weddon on a wonderfully laconic “ You Go To My Head” while the horn men show their testosterone on the macho read of Wayne Shorter’s “The Summit” . And oh, yes, they can swing, with Clotter digging into a bopping line for “Minority” and the horns sweet and hot for “On The Sunny Side Of The Street”. Blue plate blue notes.

Jerry Weldon pone en primer plano su atrevido y brillante tenor con un equipo de post-bopping formado por Alonzo Demetrius/tp, Peter Lin/tb, Mike Bond/p, Jason Clotter/b y Carmen Intorre Jr/dr para un elegante concierto en 2024 en el dinámico New Brunswick. El líder es fuerte y confiado mientras flexiona sus músculos en su propio "Sunny V", mientras Demetrius aprovecha su Lee Morgan interior sobre la exuberante batería de Intorre en "Calling Miss Khadija". Bond brilla con Weddon en un maravillosamente lacónico "You Go To My Head" mientras los trompetas muestran su testosterona en la lectura machista de "The Summit" de Wayne Shorter. Y oh, sí, pueden balancearse, con  Clotter profundiza en una línea de baile para “Minority” y los vientos dulces y calientes de “On The Sunny Side Of The Street”. Notas azules del plato azul.
