Rudy” is, of course, legendary recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder, for
whom Joey DeFrancesco feels a certain affinity. The organist recorded
his second album at Van Gelder’s famous Englewood Cliffs, N.J., studio
in 1990 and another album there eight years later. Now comes this
tribute, with DeFrancesco’s trio reprising several tunes originally
recorded by Van Gelder. One of the most famous is tenor saxophonist Gene
Ammons’ version of “Canadian Sunset,” recorded in 1960 for his Boss
Tenor album. Here, DeFrancesco, guitarist Steve Cotter and drummer Ramon
Banda employ the loping beat of the original, with the organist and
guitarist soloing warmly with boppish eighth-note lines. Then there’s
“Monk’s Dream,” which DeFrancesco recalls from organist Larry Young’s
Unity album. DeFrancesco solos using Monk-like harmonic intervals and
rhythmic swirls and then trades phrases with Banda.
Two emotionally powerful ballad performances, “Goodbye” and “Stardust,”
contrast the prevailing emphasis on hard bop. For breakneck bop chops,
DeFrancesco chooses “After You’ve Gone” and Freddie Hubbard’s “Up Jumped
Spring”; Cotter wisely cooks with a lower flame on these and proves
very effective. (Cotter and Banda are essentially DeFrancesco’s “B”
team, periodically subbing on gigs for regulars Paul Bollenback and
Byron Landham. On this album, they play like top-billed veterans.)

Rudy" es, por supuesto, el legendario ingeniero de grabación Rudy Van
Gelder, por el que Joey DeFrancesco siente cierta afinidad. El organista
grabó su segundo álbum en el famoso estudio de Van Gelder en Englewood
Cliffs, N.J., en 1990 y otro álbum allí ocho años después. Ahora viene
este tributo, con el trío de DeFrancesco retomando varias canciones
originalmente grabadas por Van Gelder. Uno de los más famosos es la
versión del saxofonista tenor Gene Ammons de "Canadian Sunset", grabado
en 1960 para su álbum Boss Tenor. Aquí, DeFrancesco, el guitarrista
Steve Cotter y el baterista Ramon Banda emplean el ritmo loping del
original, con el organista y el guitarrista haciendo un cálido solo con
líneas de corcheas boppish. Luego está "El sueño de Monk", que
DeFrancesco recuerda del álbum Unity del organista Larry Young. Los
solos de DeFrancesco usan intervalos armónicos y remolinos rítmicos
parecidos a los de Monk y luego intercambian frases con la Banda.
Dos interpretaciones de baladas emocionalmente poderosas, "Goodbye" y
"Stardust", contrastan el énfasis predominante en el hard bop. Para las
chuletas de bop de alto nivel, DeFrancesco elige "After You've Gone" y
"Up Jumped Spring" de Freddie Hubbard; Cotter cocina sabiamente con una
llama más baja en estas y demuestra ser muy eficaz. (Cotter y Banda son
esencialmente el equipo "B" de DeFrancesco, que periódicamente sustituye
a los habituales Paul Bollenback y Byron Landham. En este álbum, tocan
como veteranos de primera fila).
