Free Music Review: Superb Session!
Hit: 5 Stars
An incredible album from start to finish. This one shouldn't fall on deaf ears - either you get it or you don't. Not a typical blowing session by any stretch of one's imagination. This is a level that is rarely reached in a studio or anywhere else. There are tempos here that few musicians today would even attempt,let alone play while ripping off cohesive ideas that are this astonishing. Nothing else can be said about the musicians here; they are collectively on thousands of jazz recordings and among the best in all of jazz. GETZ'S solo on the original "Dark Eyes" ranks near the top of any tenor solo I've ever heard. And DIZZY'S second break on "BE-BOP" is a breath taking lesson in jazz trumpet. Too bad they couldn't have included "TUNISIA" and "CARAVAN" this October day back in 1956 to make this about 60 blistering minutes on one CD.
For Musicians Only Poster
The modern jazz revolution which came to be known as bebop was distinguished by a level of melodic-harmonic complexity and rhythmic brinkmanship which required the most elevated levels of instrumental virtuosity imaginable. As if to drive the point home, composers such as trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie crafted certain tunes to function as musical obstacle courses, which quickly separated the men from boys--without mercy. Such is the premise on For Musicians Only, save that with a driving rhythm section keyed by bassist supreme Ray Brown, and saxophone masters Stan Getz and Sonny Stitt on board as the other horns, there is no shortage of musical fiber. Brisk tempos and challenging chord changes are the order of the day, with Gillespie's anthemic "Bebop" setting a daunting standard. The trumpeter is in peak form here and on a riveting "Lover Come Back to Me," articulating breathtaking runs and high-wire rhythmic variations with all the fluidity of a saxophone, but with a tart, crackling tone all his own. Stitt, as is wont, plays with incredible speed and rhythmic articulation, and anyone who visualizes Getz as no more than the arbiter of cool tenor, should take note of this sheep in wolf's clothing's relentless melodic intensity on "Wee (Allen's Alley)." --Chip SternJazz Music CDs
