By Bob Johnson --IA77 Birpf>RT_ PAUL DESMOND-PURE DESMOND-CT] 605951 -This album is aptly titled because I doubt if ii could be more “pure”. It is a quartet sessior featuring Canadiam guitarist Ed Bickert, Ror Carter and Connie Kay. The music is typical of s Desmond set in a live performance-ballads anc up-tempos, with graceful melody lines through out. & There are no Des mond compositions here as he uses the works of Ellington, Django Rein hardt, Cole Porter and others. Bickert has been working with Desmond upon his visits to the Bourbon Street in Tor onto, which resulted in this album. He is an exceptional guitarist, often reminding me of Jim Hall. BLACK GIANTS-COL- UMBIA PG33402 ^oiumDia s latest twofer” is a collection of 17 tracks from as many artists ranging from 1927 Louis Armstrong performance of Potato Head Blues to Mingus 1972 Ecclusiastics. Most of the material was recorded after 1956. The biggest treat here is a 1958 recording of Love For Sale by Miles with Cannonball, Coltrane and Bill Evans which runs 11:45. That track has never previous ly been released. A great educational package BOBBY HUTCHERSON-LINGER LANE BLUE NOTE 369 One might suspect a commercial venture when reading of background singers and the Theme From M.A.S.H. on the cover. Not necessarily so. Although this would appeal to wider audiences it should also be of interest to fans of Bobby’s previous works (i.e.) San Francisco. Re corded outdoors at Idylwild, Canada, it is lyrical, rhythmical, and easy to listen to. WOODY SHAW-THE MOONTRANE-MUSE 5058 Woody Shaw has been a featured soloist in groups led by such highljrregarded musicians as McCoy. Tyner. Joe Henderson and- Horace Silver: Here he impressively displays his talents as a leader with his third album. Woody maintains his tradition of being in some ot the most desirable musical company one could imagine and acts accordingly. There is every reason here to believe that Woody Shaw is a musical force to be reckoned with. His perfor mance throughout is impeccable regardless of tempo, and his sensitive use of 3 horns most certainly deserves an honorable mention. THE MOONTRANE is a must. BILLY COBHAM-SHABAZZ-ATLANTIC SD 18139 Recorded live in Europe. Cobham’s drumming pyrotechnics are displayed very well in this release. The drums become overpowering after a short period of listening. The band has the ability to perform tightly but live it seems to lack continuity and direction. MODERN JAZZ QUARTET-LAST CONCERT ATLANTIC SD2 909 Four sides of some of the best MJQ on record. Anyone who.has enjoyed any of their music in the group’s 22 year history should be totally pleased with this live concert, which to my ears, boasts an incredible amount of spirit, camaraderie, vitality and creativity. Without a doubt - it’s worth the price. CECIL McBEE-MUTIMA-STRATA EAST Bassist Cecil McBee is probably most current ly noted for his work with Pharoah Sanders and Music Inc. His debut album Mutima combines the conceptual approach of that work exper ience. All compositions and arrangements are by Cecil and show a highly conscious effort on his part. JIMMY SMITH ‘75-MOJO 12828 This one’s a few notches above his previous Paid In Full. Side one was done live in Tel Aviv, Israel (1974) with guitarist Ray Crawford and Donald Dean. Smith really wails and the audi ence is right with him. Mojo Workin’ (a stand out) and Organ Grinder’s Swing are included. Without a doubt. Jimmy’s best in a long time. MICHAEL URBANIAK-FUSION III-COLUM BIA PC33542 The violin of Michael Urbaniak is featured. Urbaniak's Eastern European jazz remains unique even with the addition of American Artists such as Larry Coryell, John Abercrombie and Steve Gadd. FUSION 111 displays Urbaniaks concern with music texture. His Sonorous violin, Gulgowski's synthesizers and Dudziaks voice blend well together and make this release Urbaniak’s best to date.
