Shirley Scott • For Members Only

 

Review by Scott Yanow

During the 1960's, Shirley Scott's Impulse albums were often split between big band selections (with orchestras arranged by Oliver Nelson) and trio features. This CD reissue from 1989 includes all of the contents from two of Scott's better Impulse albums, Great Scott and For Members Only. In general the eight trio numbers are the most rewarding performances on the disc since the material is fairly superior while the big band tracks emphasize then-current show and movie tunes. Overall this generous CD gives one a good overview of Shirley Scott's playing talents.

Durante la década de 1960, los álbumes de Shirley Scott's Impulse a menudo se dividían entre selecciones de grandes bandas (con orquestas organizadas por Oliver Nelson) y trío. Esta reedición de CD de 1989 incluye todos los contenidos de dos de los mejores álbumes de Scott Impulse, Great Scott y For Members Only. En general, los ocho números de trío son las interpretaciones más gratificantes del disco, ya que el material es bastante superior, mientras que las pistas de big band enfatizan las melodías de películas y espectáculos actuales. En general, este generoso CD ofrece una buena descripción de los talentos de Shirley Scott.
