The combination of trumpeter Shaw's unique gift and untimely passing make him one of jazz's great should've-beens in the eyes of many. This and the other posthumous Shaw releases on 32 Jazz show '90s listeners that the achievements he managed in his too-short life were plenty on which to base a legacy. Known for his progressive approach toward improvisation, Shaw turns his inventive ear and chops to standards on IMAGINATION. The results are predictably illuminating. Shaw's individualistic sense of phrasing and distaste for wasted notes invests these old chestnuts with new life. A listener stumbling across the delicate, simple beauty of the title tune could be forgiven for pegging it as a Shaw original, such is the trumpeter's power of revivification. Trombonist Steve Turre matches Shaw phrase for phrase on this 1987 date, and the two men's ensemble phrasing on "Dat Dere" and elsewhere helps give IMAGINATION its distinctive flavor.

Trumpeter Woody Shaw's final album as a leader (cut less than two years before his passing) is surprisingly upbeat. Although his health became shaky, Shaw never declined as a player, as he shows throughout the spirited quintet outing with his longtime trombonist Steve Turre, pianist Kirk Lightsey, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Carl Allen. Other than Turre's "Steve's Blues," all of the pieces are veteran standards (including "If I Were A Bell," "Imagination" and "You And The Night And The Music"), yet they sound quite fresh and contain more than their share of subtle surprises. Recommended.
