 Blue N' Boogie |
| Sir Phyllis Blues |
 |
The Village Voice’s Gary Giddins picked this as one of his Best Jazz Discs of the Year. If you’re a fan of blues-steeped jazz with an unstoppable groove, you have to hear this CD. The line-up is stellar: Bluiett on bari sax; ex-Mingus star Jack Walrath on trumpet; young lion Mark Shim on tenor and a peerless rhythm section—Larry Willis, Keter Betts and Jimmy Cobb. Stereophile says “…this disc sounds awesomely present…these guys are having a rompin’, stompin’, honkin’ good time …Irresistible.” Their set ranges seamlessly from Dizzy’s hard-rocking “Blue ’N Boogie” all the way to Willis’ nostalgic ballad “Thinking About It” and the soul-drenched “Sir Phyllis Blues.”
Two baritone players front sextets including a hot young tenor, which barrel straight through the mainstream idiom. Neither the personnel nor the approach on Hamiet Bluiett's Young Warrior, Old Warrior (Mapleshade, ) are what you'd expect from World Saxophone Quartet's anchor; his rhythm section is Larry Willis, Keter Betts and Jimmy Cobb. You may be surprised by how much Bluiett sounds at ease and at home, trading solos with trumpeter Jack Walrath and tenor-to-watch Mark Shim (a David Murray big band regular), or mixing it up in duets with bass and drums. Bluiett's limber blowing may put you in mind of Pepper Adams or vintage Cecil Payne, no small thing, ever. Don't let this sleeper slide by. Pulse - December 1995 |
