Spike Robinson: tenor saxophone Mundell Lowe: guitar Monty Budwig: bass Jake Henna: drums
Tenor saxophonist Spike Robinson sounds quite comfortable performing his "Blues for Sooz" and seven standards with a pianoless rhythm section. Guitarist Mundell Lowe, bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Jake Hanna were all veterans who, like Spike, knew how to swing hard even at a quiet volume and a relaxed tempo. Robinson's warm tone sounds quite appealing on such numbers as "Dancing in the Dark," "Yours Is My Heart Alone" and "My Silent Love." Recommended. ---Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
"Spike is in top form, delighting in the support of a superb rhythm section: no piano, but none missed. The master saxophonist weaves his customary magic through a set of classic ballads, adorning them efiortlessly." --- Eddie Blackwell - Jazz Journal Dec.'94 |
