Bill Barron Quintet & Sextet (2 CD)

Description: Personnel: Ted Curson (tp), Bill Barron, Booker Ervin (ts), Jay Cameron (bs), Kenny Barron (p), Jimmy Garrison, Eddie Khan, Larry Ridley (b), Frankie Dunlop, Pete LaRoca, Andrew Cyrille (d) The three albums tenorman Bill Barron made as a leader for Savoy Records in early 60s embody every facet of this accomplished jazzman as a talented soloist, composer and arranger. And, despite the similarities in their harmonic ideas, Barron was not a slavish disciple of John Coltrane. On The Tenor Stylings of Bill Barron he leads a quintet, sharing a front line with Ted Curson, a trumpeter with a warm and capable style. Cursons also featured in the more tightly arranged second album, Modern Windows, in which Jay Camerons baritone considerably enriches the sound of an ensemble splendidly driven by LaRocas accents. The third album, Hot Line, also a quintet, but with tenorist Booker Ervin, is primarily a blowing date balancing originals with some jazzy standards. Thanks to the care and attention Barron lavished on these sessions and the quality of those involved they add up to a rewarding listening experience. —Jordi Pujol TRACKLIST: CD 1 01.
