Free Music Review: My Favorite of Freddie's
Hit: 5 Stars
After hours upon hours of listening to all of his magnificent work, this 1961 Blue Note/RVG recording, is my personal favorite of anything he produced as a leader (with his 1960 debut "Open Sesame" and the CTI classic "Red Clay" tied for second place). Of course, his work on such classics as Herbie Hancock's "Empyrean Isles", and Hank Mobley's "Roll Call" are definitely right up there as well. Bottom line, this guy is simply one of the greatest trumpet players in jazz history and at the end of the day it's all subjective when it comes down to labeling which particular performance was his best. However, I think it's safe to say that "Ready for Freddie" is one of his finest works and very easily merits a five star rating.
Freddie had a really clean, dynamic, fleet and fervent style of playing, always colorful, almost always imaginative. His solo on "Birdlike" is something else and one of my favorite performances of his ever. I can imagine Charlie Parker smiling from above each time I hear it. Wayne Shorter's "Marie Antoinette" is also a favorite of mine, mainly because of its very soothing interplay between each member of the sextet. However, the whole recording is perfect to my ears, and it's almost a sacrilege for me to highlight one piece over another.
Along with Freddie and Wayne (who was really coming into his own at this time) you've got Coltrane's rhythm section of Art Davis (bass), Elvin Jones (drums) and McCoy Tyner (piano). Talk about a trio of cats that can play! In fact, I can honestly say that I have never heard Art Davis sound so perfect, and that's one bold statement I will stand firm by! Please let me know in the comment section if you disagree or think its hyperbole, but he just kills it in my humble opinion on this one. And perhaps the biggest surprise just might be Bernard McKinney (euphonium). He really gave to the group a softer, slightly smoother sound and aided in making this recording a truly distinctive and memorable treasure.
Aaaaaaaah the beauty and charm of jazz music never ceases to amaze me! This is gold folks.
