Review
by Scott Yanow
This
is one of at least four recordings that matched up tenor saxophonist
Benny Golson and trombonist Curtis Fuller prior to the formation of the
Jazztet; ironically, Fuller only stuck around for one Jazztet record
before departing. Reissued on CD, the LP-length program has two
lesser-known Golson compositions along with "Drum Boogie," "I Didn't
Know What Time It Was," and "Yesterdays." Three of the tunes are blues,
and the two ballads are taken at a medium-tempo pace. With pianist Ray
Bryant, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Blakey forming a solid
rhythm section, the hard bop music does indeed groove in its own
fashion.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Esta
es una de las al menos cuatro grabaciones que emparejaron al
saxofonista tenor Benny Golson y al trombonista Curtis Fuller antes de
la formación del Jazztet; irónicamente, Fuller sólo se quedó para un
disco del Jazztet antes de marcharse. Reeditado en CD, el programa de
duración LP tiene dos composiciones menos conocidas de Golson junto con
"Drum Boogie", "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" y "Yesterdays". Tres de
los temas son blues, y las dos baladas se interpretan a un ritmo medio.
Con el pianista Ray Bryant, el bajista Paul Chambers y el batería Art
Blakey formando una sólida sección rítmica, la música hard bop se mueve a
su manera.
