Free Music Review: Sort of a "bi-coastal romance" type thing
Hit: 3 Stars
Nice job by these two together. I like this album better than any of their respective solo dates that I've heard. But on the used promo copy that I picked up, Russell Malone sounds like he's playing in the next room from the recording studio. I'd like to think that was corrected on the commercial release, but I doubt it.
Bluebird Poster
After studying classical music as a child, pianist Benny Green became irresistibly drawn to the classic bebop recordings of the 1940s and 1950s. The hard-bop revival of the 1980s was the perfect launching pad for Green's career, and he spent some of his early professional years with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, with additional tenures playing in the bands of Betty Carter and Freddie Hubbard. For his fourth Telarc outing, Green teams up with guitarist Russell Malone--the pair has known one another for some 15 years--and this set follows a series of duo performances they've done during the past decade. Both know how to swing with an infectious ferociousness, running in and around the rhythm with contrasting harmonic underpinnings and buoyant melodic solo excursions. They also share an abiding respect for songcraft, drawing from both popular writers (Cole Porter, Stevie Wonder) and jazz titans (Oscar Peterson, Charlie Parker, Milt Jackson). What's more, it's often remarkable to hear how they can instinctively allow ample room for the other to shine. --David GreenbergerJazz Music CDs
