Cables' Vision |
● CD $12.98 |
Somewhat erratic late-'70's effort by pianist George Cables.
Although it features heavyweights such as Freddie Hubbard, Ernie Watts and
Bobby Hutcherson, this disc veers dangerously close to "lite jazz" - picking
up a static, dated quality on the two tunes burdened with electric piano.
Luckily, Cables is a fine acoustic pianist and proves it on the other four
cuts. Hutcherson's vibe fills are beautifully understated and Hubbard's
trumpet tour de force Byrdlike is the record's high point, an uptempo
post-bop romp which offers joyously strong solos all around. (PL)

23 tracks, 63 min, recommended
One of the finest labels ever
to reissue & rescue old jazz is back for it's 2nd set of releases, starting
off with very obscure hot dance. Legendary blues label Paramount had a jazz
subsidiary Broadway, which is where most of these recording originate.
Carlsen was a Milwaukee based reed player (cl, as, ts) who directed the
house band for a restaurant called The Wisconsin Roof. The band, known as
The Wisconsin Roof Orch of Devine's Wisconsin Roof Orch, as big in the
mid-west, especially Chicago, but never further than that. All of the band's
recordings, done under both names from '26-29 are heard here, all for
Broadway except an alternate take of Tiger Rag put out by EBW, & a
never issued test pressing of Wherever You Go, Whatever You Do. By
'29, Carlsen was top named (Bill Carlsen & His Orch) for these 4 '29-31
sides showing more jazz, including Milenburg Joys & Clarinet
Marmalade. These are remarkably clean sounding (mastering is, of course,
by The Master - John RT Davies), considering that Paramount pressings were
notoriously poor. (GM)

Where? - With Eric Dolphy and Mal Waldron |
● CD $12.98 |
Reissue of the bassist's first album as a leader, from 1961,
would be worth the price of admission just for the playing of Eric Dolphy
(on his arsenal of alto sax, bass clarinet and flute). On many of the
selections Carter plays cello, as he did to great effect on Dolphy's classic
Out There (ORIG 023), and leaves the bassics to George Duvivier. Mal
Waldron lends his dark and sparse touch to the piano and Charlie Persip mans
the drums. An engaging and unique item, not only for the unusual
instrumentation but also for the 2 Randy Weston tunes, Where? and
Saucer Eyes.

5 tracks, 38 min., good
A pleasant, though very much a
studio, disc featuring Carter (bass), Chet Baker (trumpet) and Kenny Barron
(piano). Several cuts highlight Carter's interest in Latin rhythms and
feature the talents of Brazilian musicians Amaury Tristao (guitar) and the
estimable Nana Vasconcellos (percussion). The samba-shuffle Ah Rio is
probably the best of this bunch. Yet it's the straightahead cuts which pique
my interest, mostly because Baker and Barron - perhaps feeling more at home
- play with more assurance on them. Check out Chet's wonderfully melancholic
reading of Yours Truly. A bit heavy on the overdubbed piano solos and
multitracked trumpet parts for my tastes, this CD's a worthwhile addition
nontheless. (PL)
