Buddy Collette • Now And Then

 

 

Review from AllMusic (by Ken Dryden):

Now and Then marked Buddy Collette's first recording in nine years, but this subtle pair of West Coast sessions was well worth the wait. Known primarily for his prowess on flute, he also is heard playing some rather robust tenor sax and alto sax. His seven originals are subtle, giving his bandmates (including trumpeter Al Aarons and trombonist Grover Mitchell) plenty of opportunity for blowing. The rhythm section varies slightly between the two dates, with guitarist Al Viola, Red Callendar on bass (moving to tuba when Leroy Vinnegar is added), and either Frank Severino or Frank Chavez on drums. The LP was released by the small but promising Legend label, which issued a number of fine records like this album during the 1970s before ceasing operations.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Ken Dryden):

Now And Then marcó la primera grabación de Buddy Collette en nueve años, pero este sutil conjunto de dos sesiones de la Costa Oeste bien mereció la espera. Conocido principalmente por su dominio de la flauta, también se lo escucha tocando el saxo tenor y el saxo alto con considerable fuerza expresiva. Sus siete composiciones originales son sutiles y ofrecen a sus compañeros, entre ellos el trompetista Al Aarons y el trombonista Grover Mitchell, amplias oportunidades para improvisar. La sección rítmica varía ligeramente entre las dos sesiones, con el guitarrista Al Viola, Red Callender en contrabajo —que pasa a la tuba cuando se incorpora Leroy Vinnegar— y Frank Severino o Frank Chavez en batería. El LP fue publicado por el pequeño pero prometedor sello Legend, que editó varios discos destacados como este durante los años setenta, antes de cesar sus actividades.
