Review:Although tenor-saxophonist David Murray and altoist Arthur
Blythe are listed in the personnel along with pianist McCoy Tyner,
bassist Ron Carter and drummer Aaron Scott, the two horns only meet up
on three of the six selections; otherwise Blythe is featured as the lone
saxophone with the quartet. On what is in reality a bit of a jam
session, the musicians romp through John Coltrane's "Bessie's Blues,"
Duke Ellington's obscure "Blue Piano," Tyner's "Not For Beginners" and
the standard "Falling In Love With Love" while Blythe leads the quartet
through the two-part "44th Street Suite" which starts out quite free
before becoming a blues. Little all that memorable occurs considering
the players involved (a little more planning would have worked wonders)
but the music does have its exciting moments.
