Joe Puma, Hod O'Brien, Red Mitchell • Shining Hour

 

Review by Scott Yanow

Cool-toned guitarist Joe Puma is best known for his playing in the 1950s. This 1997 CD reissue has a live Puma trio date from 1984, which was his first occasion to lead his own recording session since 1961. The music is quite enjoyable, featuring Puma with pianist Hod O'Brien and bassist Red Mitchell. The guitarist was still very much in prime form, playing in a style unchanged from decades earlier. His interplay with O'Brien and Mitchell uplifts the standards, which include "Remember," "For All We Know" and "Mood Indigo," and he introduces two appealing originals. Highly recommended.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El guitarrista de tono frío Joe Puma es más conocido por su forma de tocar en los años 50. Esta reedición del CD de 1997 tiene un trío de Puma en directo que data de 1984, que fue su primera ocasión de dirigir su propia sesión de grabación desde 1961. La música es bastante agradable, con Puma con el pianista Hod O'Brien y el bajista Red Mitchell. El guitarrista estaba todavía en plena forma, tocando en un estilo que no había cambiado desde décadas antes. Su interacción con O'Brien y Mitchell eleva los estándares, que incluyen "Remember", "For All We Know" y "Mood Indigo", e introduce dos atractivos originales. Altamente recomendado.
