Grant Stewart
is a solid mainstream tenor saxophonist who has proven himself to be well-versed in the jazz canon over his many albums as a leader. After recording several CDs for
Sharp Nine
with a traditional piano trio,
Stewart
opted for different backing for this 2010 session, with guitarist
Peter Bernstein
, bassist
Peter Washington
(who has recorded more than once with him), and drummer
Phil Stewart
. Opening with a nimble, hard-blowing bop setting of the the old 1920s war horse
"Get Happy,"
switches to soprano sax for
Tadd Dameron
's infrequently performed
"The Scene Is Clean,"
cooling things off a bit. There are several less familiar songs, including a robust interpretation of
Alec Wilder
's
"That's My Girl,"
a snappy take of
Duke Ellington
"Blue Rose"
(which also showcases
Washington
to good effect), and pianist
Barry Harris
' cheerful bop vehicle
"Around the Corner."
again switches to soprano for a heartfelt rendition of the bittersweet ballad
"Maybe September."
Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden
