NEW YORK SEPTET, July 18, 2008
This review is from: Hi Fi Party (Audio CD)
This is James Moody's 1954/55 New York septet recording for Prestige records 8/55. James hasn't taken up the flute yet but with trumpeter Dave Burns in the band there was no need to. As on WAIL MOODY WAIL there is a long stretch out track- Jammin' with James- the track runs 11 1/2 minutes and is the blues as opposed to the other one a 32 with a bridge. James solos on tenor and alto with Burn's trumpet in the middle and then some exchanges toward the end. The shorter tracks are good too with Burn's getting in some licks and James taking the ballads himself. Eddie Jefferson sings but once here and not at all on WAIL MOODY WAIL.---- For more Dave Burns in this kind of groove see Johnny Griffin's STUDIO JAZZ PARTY.
