Herbie Harper • Herbie Harper Sextet!

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Trombonist Herbie Harper's fifth and final session as a leader in the 1950s is an excellent outing that also features the little-known tenorman Jay Core, guitarist Howard Roberts, pianist Marty Paich, bassist Red Mitchell and either Frank Capp or Mel Lewis on drums. Core and Capp contributed an original apiece and the sextet also plays five superior standards along with a surprising rendition of "Little Orphan Annie." This set for the defunct Mode label (reissued by V.S.O.P.) has plenty of high-quality West Coast jazz.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
La quinta y última sesión del trombonista Herbie Harper como líder en la década de 1950 es una excelente grabación que también cuenta con la participación del poco conocido saxofonista tenor Jay Core, el guitarrista Howard Roberts, el pianista Marty Paich, el bajista Red Mitchell y Frank Capp o Mel Lewis en la batería. Core y Capp aportaron una composición original cada uno, y el sexteto interpreta además cinco estándares de gran calidad, junto con una sorprendente versión de "Little Orphan Annie". Este álbum, publicado por el desaparecido sello Mode (y reeditado por V.S.O.P.), ofrece una gran cantidad de jazz de alta calidad de la Costa Oeste.
