Trumpet and fluegelhorn player
Frank Walton
led a fine sextet through a program of mostly hard bop originals with some standards and soul-jazz on this late-'70s date newly issued on CD. Besides
Walton
's straight-ahead, hard-edged trumpet and more lyrical fluegelhorn solos, the contrast between alto saxophonist
Henry Threadgill
and soprano/tenor saxophonist
Ari Brown
is both interesting and exciting.
Threadgill
, one of the '70s greatest composers and bandleaders, played a mix of ripping blues, soaring soul, and spiraling solos, while
Brown
was a bit more restrained, but no less intense. While this date should have gotten widespread exposure a long time ago, hopefully its reissue on CD will correct the oversight. ~ Ron Wynn
