"Chase" This Down, February 11, 2012
I have admired tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse since I first discovered Thelonious Monk more than twenty years ago, but only recently have I managed to check out his recordings as a leader. Actually, this Bethlehem album finds him as a co-leader with fellow saxman Paul Quinichette, from what I can only assume was made in the late 50s as the liner notes don't say. However, they do inform us that Rouse and Quinichette's colleagues on this jam session were Hank Jones and Wynton Kelly alternating on piano, Freddie Green on guitar, Wendell Marshall on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. This disc is becoming increasingly rare so interested parties should chase down "The Chase Is On."
