HAROLD MABERN: Right On Time Smoke Sessions, 2014 BOP PIANO – Oh, this is great! Recorded live at Smoke, a cramped club on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, veteran pianist Mabern (on the scene since the 1950s) leads an ace trio through uptempo romps and bluesy ballads. The laser-focused drumming of Joe Farnsworth pushes hard, and John Webber’s bass softens the texture. Real jazz, done right. All really good. Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 1. 5:23 – hot riffing groove: piano rolls & drives over a rock-solid beat 2. 6:13 – bright, uptempo Miles Davis tune, swings hard, drum solo 3. 6:50 – ooo… nice! relaxed saloon piano really digs into it, bass solo 4. 6:20 – striding postbop drive a la Coltrane, exuberant, runs deep 5. 6:34 – relaxed ballad, romantic but not syrupy, with strong piano 6. 5:05 – a solid, snappy strut: one of two originals on the disc, grooves hard 7. 5:10 – wait a minute, is that the “Laverne & Shirley” theme?! why yes it is. 8. 5:41 – great Henry Mancini movie theme, with a thick, chunky swing 9. 4:44 – happy, lightly funky original with a latin beat 10. 7:04 – soft, sweet balladry: piano is light and elegant, very lively middle 11. 6:51 – high-speed bop workout, the drums are all over it [ Fo ] - 30 January 2014 | ||
