5.0 out of 5 stars
Rusell Malone one of the very best, September 16, 2007
This review is from: Live at Jazz Standard 2 (Audio CD)
Russel Malone comes out of the blues/groove school,,Benson/Montgomery/Green etc but he has added some elements from other players outside that school as well. Malone is a wonderful player and an elegant player that execute his lines with precision and he has that mighty swing.I remember his version of Grantstand on that tribute album for Grant Green, with Larry Goldings on the B3 and Idris Muhammed on the drums,that was something.
Twon tunes from this album has really hit me..."For the love of you" played with such ease.and Russel tell his story all the way,,,and Theme from Gunsmoke..they way Russel states the melody is just awesome..he is talking to us.
There is a quote on the album cover saying "STYLES BECOME DATED.STYLE DOES'NT"
Russel Malone certainly has style.
This album is one of the most enjoyable jazzguitaralbum I haeard for along time.
