Jazz
Recorded December 22, 1985 in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA by Rudy Van Gelder
Tom Harrell (Tp / Flh)
Kenny Garrett (As / Fl)
Kenny Barron (P)
Ray Drummond (B)
Ralph Peterson (D)
A strong recording in the post-bop tradition, Moon Alley illuminates the impressive writing of leader Tom Harrell, who has penned five of the album's seven compositions. Harrell tends to write in a manner which dictates specific parts for the rhythm section, letting the soloist stretch out over the static accompaniment. The playing is strong by all musicians on the date, and the album benefits from the youthful exuberance of saxophonist Kenny Garrett, who colors the music with smatterings of bent pitches and brief dissonances. Harrell at times reveals the influence of Kenny Dorham, though his sound on the open horn is somewhat harder and brassier than Dorham's. The recording of Kenny Barron's piano, captured by Rudy Van Gelder, gives Moon Alley a sound similar to that which dominated the 1960s Blue Note recordings, and at times, as on Harrell's "Blues in Six," the illusion is convincing.

Tom Harrell
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jun 16, 1946 in Urbana, IL
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop, Mainstream Jazz
Tom Harrell has managed to fight courageously (and successfully) against schizophrenia to become one of jazz's top trumpeters of the 1980s and '90s. On-stage, he is totally focused on his playing and seems to only come alive when he is improvising. Harrell grew up in Northern California and toured with Stan Kenton (1969), Woody Herman (1970-1971), and Horace Silver (1973-1977). He moved to New York in the mid-'70s, and played during this period with Cecil Payne, Bill Evans (1979), Lee Konitz's Nonet (1979-1981), and George Russell (1982). Harrell traveled the world with the Phil Woods Quintet (1983-1989) and went on to generally lead his own bands, recording for Contemporary and Chesky before landing at RCA for 1996's Labyrinth; subsequent outings include 1997's The Art of Rhythm and 1999's Time's Mirror, 2001's Paradise and 2003's Wise Children. In 2007, Harrell moved to High Note and released Light On. His style mixes together the power of Clifford Brown with the lyricism of Chet Baker.
