Reviewed: 2019-08-01 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Saxophonist Allen leads a deft and experienced trio. In a program that encompasses five of his original compositions, a pair of standards and four lesser-known but no less engaging themes, Allen delivers the sort of unblemished performance that leaves no cause for censure. If You Like: Stan Getz, Harry Allen, Lou Donaldson Track Review (favorites denoted by *): 1/ Big Bertha (5:59) – drums start> midtempo jam> sax solo> midtempo jam with drum fills> quick stop **2/ Klondike (5:06) – sax starts>uptempo jam> swinging sax solo> uptempo jam> bass solo> uptempo jam> crescendo end *3/ A Weaver of Dreams (7:49) – sax starts> midtempo jam> sax solo> midtempo jam> slow fade 4/ Charlotte (7:37) – drums start> midtempo jam> sax solo> bass solo> midtempo jam> slow fade *5/ Someone To Watch Over me (5:39) – bass starts> slow jam> sax solo> bass solo> slow jam> slow fade 6/ The Man (6:32) – sax starts> slow jam> sax solo> sax swings wild> slow jam> slow fade **7/ Miles’ Mode (4:03) – sax starts strong> uptempo jam> swinging sax solo> uptempo jam> crescendo end 8/ Metamorphosis (6:20) – sax starts> midtempo jam> pause> strong midtempo jam> pause> swinging midtempo jam> sax solo> midtempo jam> crescendo end *9/ Solitude (6:07) – sax starts> slow jam> sax solo> bass solo> slow jam> slow fade **10/ Same Old Feeling (7:35) – drums start> midtempo jam> sax solo> bass solo> drum solo> midtempo jam> fade on drums 11/ Jelly Roll (5:43) – sax starts> midtempo jam> sax solo> bass solo> midtempo jam with drum fills> quick stop | ||
