'Great Jazz Standards' was recorded when Evans was
red-hot from two successes with Miles Davis,
'Miles Ahead' and 'Porgy And Bess'.
Evans' signature brass choir is in place -
creatively voiced, spaciously arranged, a supple,
multi-coloured, sonically surprising counterpoint
to a succession of superb soloists. The added
bonus, for Evans' projects, is the foregrounding
of saxophone and clarinet soloists Steve Lacy and
Budd Johnson.
Lacy and the original swing-to-bop missing link,
Johnson, are the ones who will make the hair on
your neck curl. Lacy's solos on Monk's 'Straight
No Chaser' and John Lewis' 'Django' must be some
of the finest pre-free improvisations he recorded,
already heading from quirky to out-there.
Johnson's clarinet solo on Don Redman's spooky,
swing-meets-whole tone classic, 'Chant Of The
Weed', and slow-burning, stirring tenor solo on
Evans' 'La Nevada' are some of the finest the
all-but-forgotten genius ever recorded. Trumpeter
Johnny Coles, has the inevitable misfortune of
being compared to Miles Davis and being found to
be ... different. Sunny, open and extroverted, he
may not be a stylist of Davis' proportions, but
he's an enjoyable alternative foil for Evans'
arrangements.
A magnificent but neglected album, and still
coming up fresh as daisies.
