Reviewed: 2018-05-11 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Cool is one thing that Eddie Henderson always is – as his sense of tone and timing just seem to get better and better as the years go on – and that's saying a lot, given that Eddie's legacy goes way back to the 70s! Henderson is one who seems to always set a new bar for his playing as time passes by. That sense of cool is definitely in place here, as is Henderson's subtle swing, even on the ballads , as Eddie works in a tight quintet. Including pianist Kenny Barron If You Like: Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, George Cables, Wynton Kelly, Sonny Rollins, Ron Carter Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ Smoke Screen (4:38) – piano starts> jumping uptempo jam> sax solo> trumpet solo> piano solo> uptempo jam> slow fade *2/ Be Cool (5:02) – horns start> midtempo jam> trumpet solo> sax solo> midtempo jam> quick stop 3/ After You’ve Gone (7:07) – piano starts> slow jam> trumpet solo> piano solo> slow jam> slow fade **4/ Loft Funk (7:03) – piano/drums start> uptempo funky jam> trumpet solo> sax solo> uptempo jam> quick stop *5/ Fran Dance (6:24) – muted trumpet starts> slow jam swings up to midtempo> sax solo> piano solo> midtempo jam> slow fade *6/ The Moontrane (5:30) –piano starts> midtempo jam> trumpet solo swings uptempo> sax solo> piano solo> uptempo jam with interspersed drum solo> crescendo end 7/ Naima (7:12) – piano starts> midtempo jam> trumpet solo> sax solo> piano solo> midtempo jam> slow fade 8/ The Sand Castle Head Hunter (6:46) – bass starts> uptempo jam> trumpet solo> sax solo> bass solo> uptempo jam> crescendo end 9/ Nightride (8:41) – piano starts> midtempo jam>trumpet solo> sax solo> piano solo> fade *10/ Toys (6:44) – piano starts> uptempo jam> piano solo> trumpet solo> sax solo> bass solo> uptempo jam> slow fade *11/ Easy Living (5:48) – piano starts> slow jam> muted trumpet solo> piano solo> slow fade 12/ Dla Juzi (6:51) – piano starts> slow tempo> trumpet solo> piano solo>slow jam> slow fade | ||
