From London Jazz Collector:
Music
Trombone can be a fairly fruity sound, but add to it not one but two tenor saxes – fellow Chicagoan Gene “Jug” Ammons and Philadelphian Billy Root – and raise the level of brass attack; let Elvin Jones loose on drums, and season heavily with Sonny Clark on piano (“Sonny Delight!”) and Ike Isaac on bass, and you have a formidable line up. Soul Stirrin’ is a solid helping of soul-jazz, all its bluesy roots showing, recorded on a day when Rudy Van Gelder was absolutely on top of his game.
Almost impossible to select one standout track, nevertheless I plump for the superb darkly titled Lullaby of the Doomed. Its’ mournful bluesy opening theme gives way to some extraordinarily powerful solos. This record is a reference track for me when, after listening to all sorts of variable quality pressings, if I forget how good an original 47 West 63rd St. first press can sound. As my friends the other side of the pond are inclined to say, “totally awesome”. Is there, I wonder, any other kind of awesome? (Update: see comments. Apparently so. freakin’ awesome)
