CLAYTON BROTHERS: Brother to Brother artistShare, 2009
CLASSIC JAZZ – The Clayton Brothers (John, bass & Jeff, alto sax) pay tribute to some of the great brother acts in jazz, particularly the Adderleys and Hank/Thad/Elvin Jones. They were clearly inspired by the concept: this disc swings with verve, and it’s good fun.
* * * * | Fo’s Picks: 2, 4, 6... maybe 1, 5
1. 7:50 – funky strut dedicated to Elvin Jones; bluesy solos
2. 10:23 – catchy blues march, soloists bring plenty of grease
3. 9:15 – interesting rework of a classic: slowed-down and tackled sideways
4. 7:29 – bouncy Adderley-style hardbop groove, good swinging solos
5. 9:38 – bass/piano feature: warm, low and lazy... niiiice
6. 4:24 – novelty storytelling song, good-natured and goofy
7. 6:45 – sweet ballad... too sweet, actually...
8. 7:48 – upbeat rolling groove, well-crafted harmony & solos
