4.0 out of 5 stars Gil Evans Style Progressive Big Band, September 4, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Songs for My Father (Audio CD)
Songs for My Father (named after the classic Horace Silver album) is yet another take of the progressive big band (e.g. big band music with a hard bop take) music Gil Evans pioneered. Andrew Hill and McCoy Tyner have done more original takes on this but Graham Collier was trying to nurture the then nascent English jazz scene (along with more well known artists such as Evan Parker and the late Derek Bailey though nowhere near in sound to their skronk). Songs for My Father doesn't have the surprises or the energy of Gil Evans at his peak but has a similar sound yet different enough to be an original statement. An interesting listen from the beginnings of a jazz scene.
