This review is from: Fats Blows (1946-1949) (Audio CD)

I listened to this music on LP around 10-11 years ago, and I thought it was wild and crazy. When listening to the CD now, after years of listening to Coltrane, Ayler, Dolphy Coleman and such, I was amazed at how structured and melodic this music is. Navarro was an amazing trumpet player, who had a great sound. But what impresses me most is his clear thinking and sensible phrases - he is so confident and always knows were he is going musically. The tracks are all good, I especially liked "Dance of the infidels", Jahbero, The skunk, Double Talk and Boperation. The rest of the musicians are great too - Sonny Rollins, Bud Powell, Ernie Henry, and Others (Charlie Parker and Tristano play on only one track each). But It's mostly Navarro and it's great. It is an immense loss that this musician died at 27 (1950), and missed so many years of musical creativity. I recommend this CD (good sound, a lot of material and inexpensive !) to all Jazz lovers.
