Nat Birchall Quartet "The Storyteller--The Music of Yusef Lateef"

R-14100342-1567855373-2073.jpeg.jpg

This cd keeps jumping into my transport. It's great music (I've long been a Lateef fan and I've become a Birchall fan) and it's the kind of recording that lets you know how your system is doing--very well-recorded, acoustic instruments clearly and cleanly presented.

 

Followed by . . . .

A Helen Merrill that was as far as I know only released in Japan and that I have had a crappy MP3 version from someone. . . so happy to have this on the new UHQCD release from Japan. Not essential, unless like me you are someone who just has to have all of Merrill's work if possible. . . .

This is very different than most other Giuffre recordings. The first 6 tracks have Giuffre in a Sonny Rollins mood. Straight ahead swinging with a somewhat bigger tone on tenor than usual for him. Jimmy Rowels shines on piano and Red Mitchell and Lawrence Marable play well too. The last 3 tunes are fillers and have a completely different sensibility than the first 6 tracks. I very much like this CD.

Skills ( & a taste for "the marketplace") exceeding vision, which is too bad, because every once in a while, they even up.

 

If this was not the best cut on the record, then it would be a pretty good record.
