From Bebop to Big Band, Funk to Monk, this comprehensive CD showcases The Many Moods of Benny Golson. Whether playing his original tunes or interpreting standards from Duke Ellington or John Coltrane, Golson illustrates the diverse genius that has made him one of the most influential composers in modern music and an unquestionable giant of Jazz.
Benny Golson is in terrific form throughout this compilation, which draws from three of Benny Golson's earlier CDs for Arkadia Jazz (though oddly omitting any music from Up Jumped Benny), listing personnel but not giving any recording dates. A reunion with his old Jazztet bandmates Art Farmer and Curtis Fuller features new versions of two of the band's staples, Golson's hit "Killer Joe" and "Along Came Betty," with superb solos and ensemble work. Golson trades choruses with Branford Marsalis in a dreamy setting of "Body and Soul," while cornetist Nat Adderley provides a foil for the leader in "Work Song" and a decidedly funky setting of "Mack the Knife." But the biggest treat for Golson's fans is the addition of four previously unissued tracks, all quartet numbers. The tenor saxophonist is pared with Mulgrew Miller, Buster Williams, and Carl Allen for a lush, subtle take of "Mood Indigo" and a jaunty "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." The rhythm section switches to Mike LeDonne, Dwayne Burno and Joe Farnsworth for a snappy take of John Coltrane's infrequently performed "Syeeda's Song Flute" and a delicate interpretation of the leader's ballad "Touch Me Lightly." Even if one already owns 60-percent of this compilation on Golson's earlierArkadia Jazz releases, it is still worth the investment. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Benny Golson
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 25, 1929 in Philadelphia, PA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop, Hard Bop, Mainstream Jazz
Benny Golson is a talented composer/arranger whose tenor playing has continued to evolve with time. After attending Howard University (1947-1950) he worked in Philadelphia with Bull Moose Jackson's R&B band (1951) at a time when it included one of his writing influences, Tadd Dameron on piano. Golson played with Dameron for a period in 1953, followed by stints with Lionel Hampton (1953-1954), and Johnny Hodges and Earl Bostic (1954-1956). He came to prominence while with Dizzy Gillespie's globetrotting big band (1956-1958), as much for his writing as for his tenor playing (the latter was most influenced by Don Byas and Lucky Thompson). Golson wrote such standards as "I Remember Clifford" (for the late Clifford Brown), "Killer Joe," "Stablemates," "Whisper Not," "Along Came Betty," and "Blues March" during 1956-1960. His stay with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1958-1959) was significant, and during 1959-1962 he co-led the Jazztet with Art Farmer. From that point on Golson gradually drifted away from jazz and concentrated more on working in the studios and with orchestras including spending a couple of years in Europe (1964-1966). When Golson returned to active playing in 1977, his tone had hardened and sounded much closer to Archie Shepp than to Don Byas. Other than an unfortunate commercial effort for Columbia in 1977, Golson has recorded consistently rewarding albums (many for Japanese labels) since that time including a reunion with Art Farmer and Curtis Fuller in a new Jazztet. Through the years he has recorded as a leader for Contemporary, Riverside, United Artists, New Jazz, Argo, Mercury, and Dreyfus among others. Returning once again to the spirit of the original Jazztet, Golson released New Time, New 'Tet on Concord Records in 2009.
