Benny Golson • Turning Point

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
Renamed Turning Point upon one of its reissues, this quartet set for tenor saxophonist Benny Golson was the beginning of the close of an era. Within a year, Golson would be working full-time as a writer in the studios, and he de-emphasized his playing until making a comeback in the late 1970s. Golson is heard on this LP for one of the last times playing in his original Don Byas/Lucky Thompson-influenced style. Joined by pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb, Golson performs two originals, plus five superior standards, including "How Am I To Know," "Three Little Words" and "Alone Together." A rewarding but sadly out-of-print set.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
Renombrado Turning Point en una de sus reediciones, este set de cuarteto para el saxofonista tenor Benny Golson fue el comienzo del cierre de una era. En un año, Golson estaría trabajando a tiempo completo como escritor en los estudios, y minimizó su ejecución hasta hacer un regreso a finales de los años 70. Golson se escucha en este LP por una de las últimas veces tocando en su estilo original influenciado por Don Byas/Lucky Thompson. Acompañado por el pianista Wynton Kelly, el bajista Paul Chambers y el baterista Jimmy Cobb, Golson interpreta dos originales, más cinco estándares superiores, incluyendo "How Am I To Know," "Three Little Words" y "Alone Together." Un set gratificante pero lamentablemente agotado.
