Ballads & Blues 180gr LP

Lucky Thompson (ts); Milt Jackson (vib); John Lewis (p); Barney Kessel, Barry Galbraith, Skeeter Best (g); Oscar Pettiford, Percy Heath (b); Kenny Clarke, Lawrence Marable (dr)

?Whenever Milt Jackson could free himself from the
'bondage' of the Modern Jazz Quartet and its
assertive leader John Lewis, he dedicated himself
to his two great passions: ballads and the blues.
That was precisely the case when he entered the
famous Rudy van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New
Jersey, USA in 1956. He was free to choose his
sidemen, and money was no object, which is why
various formations gathered in the studio for the
three recording sessions. With Lucky Thompson on
the tenor sax (unfortunately for only three
numbers), Barry Galbraith, Barney Kessel or
Skeeter Best on the guitar, Oscar Pettiford or
Percy Heath on the bass, together with Kenny
Clarke or Lawrence Marable on the drums, he set
off on a journey through the history of jazz. John
Lewis stayed unobtrusively in the background and
offered 'Bags' (as Milt was known) plenty of
opportunities to glory in soloistic freedom.
The themes were soon found: the musical composers
Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern, as
well as a work from The Duke Ellington Songbook,
formed a basis upon which all the musicians could
perform with confidence. Three compositions by
Milt Jackson himself proved that he too was full
of imagination.
If you don?t possess this LP ? or maybe none by
Milt Jackson ? here is an opportunity to remedy
this shortcoming. The present author would award
this recording 5 out of 5 possible stars!
