Don Goldie • Trumpet Caliente

 

Review from All About Jazz (by C. Andrew Hovan):
In the case of trumpeter Don Goldie none of the few recorded artifacts that he left behind could by any standard be considered innovative or radical, yet they provided an ideal vehicle for the laid back and accessible mainstream jazz that was the man's stock in trade. Goldie's sophomore effort for Argo, 1962's Trumpet Caliente is the subject at hand and it solidifies the trumpeter's stylistic muse. For one thing, the engineering this time is provided by Rudy Van Gelder and one gets an even better chance to hear the finely etched shadings of Goldie's astonishingly expressive and full-bodied tone. Leo Wright is heard on alto sax and flute, pairing successfully with the trumpeter. Pianist Patti Bown, bassist Ben Tucker, drummer Ed Shaugnessy, and conga drummer Ray Barretto further support the twosome on a half-dozen sides that mostly fall in the category of jazz standards. While swing is at a premium for numbers like "Fast Thought" and "There Will Never Be Another You," the Latin tinge comes into play (thus, giving some meaning to the Spanish album title) for three pieces that add guitarist Barry Galbraith, percussionist Willie Rodriguez, and arranger Manny Albam.
Particularly jubilant is a bossa version of "Shiny Stockings" with Wright's flute providing an airy touch. Nothing really gets above a medium tempo here, but there's a sense of satisfaction and amazement at Goldie's effortless forays that make this set one of my late night favorites. Like the previously mentioned Brilliant and his Verve set Trumpet Exodus, Goldie's Trumpet Caliente is worthy of reissue, even if it means one of the pricey Japanese variety.

Reseña de All About Jazz (por C. Andrew Hovan):
En el caso del trompetista Don Goldie, ninguno de los pocos artefactos grabados que dejó podría considerarse innovador o radical por ningún estándar, sin embargo, proporcionaron un vehículo ideal para el jazz mainstream accesible y relajado que era la especialidad del hombre. El segundo esfuerzo de Goldie para Argo, Trumpet Caliente de 1962, es el tema a tratar y solidifica la musa estilística del trompetista. Por un lado, la ingeniería esta vez es proporcionada por Rudy Van Gelder y se obtiene una oportunidad aún mejor de escuchar los matices finamente grabados del tono asombrosamente expresivo y de cuerpo completo de Goldie. Leo Wright se escucha en saxo alto y flauta, emparejándose exitosamente con el trompetista. La pianista Patti Bown, el bajista Ben Tucker, el baterista Ed Shaugnessy y el conguero Ray Barretto apoyan aún más al dúo en media docena de lados que en su mayoría caen en la categoría de estándares de jazz. Mientras que el swing tiene una prima para números como "Fast Thought" y "There Will Never Be Another You," el toque latino entra en juego (dando así algún significado al título del álbum en español) para tres piezas que añaden al guitarrista Barry Galbraith, el percusionista Willie Rodriguez y al arreglista Manny Albam.
Particularmente jubilosa es una versión bossa de "Shiny Stockings" con la flauta de Wright proporcionando un toque aéreo. Nada realmente sobrepasa un tempo medio aquí, pero hay un sentido de satisfacción y asombro ante las incursiones sin esfuerzo de Goldie que hacen de este set uno de mis favoritos nocturnos. Al igual que el mencionado anteriormente Brilliant y su set Verve Trumpet Exodus, Trumpet Caliente de Goldie es digno de reedición, incluso si significa una de la variedad japonesa de alto precio.
