MILT JACKSON SEXTET: INVITATION

Milt Jackson Sextet

Invitation

Label: Mobile Fidelity Media: LP Genre: Jazz Ratings: Music**** Sonics*****


Once in while, an audiophile reissue can make the listener realize that what seemed like a good, solid record is better than that.  If I had been asked to evaluate Invitation before hearing this release, I would’ve said it was a fairly typical early-60s hard-bop record, led by the great vibraphonist Milt Jackson.  I might have added that it suffers from neither the overly careful approach that plagued much of the Modern Jazz Quartet’s output, nor from the opposite extreme, of simply blowing long solos on overly familiar standards, something Jackson has done more than enough of in his time. The success of Invitation owes on both counts to the presence of trumpeter Kenny Dorham and alto saxophonist Jimmy Heath.  Each contributes not only fine solos, but a couple of nifty arrangements. But what this listener had not fully appreciated from earlier releases is the fantastically subtle interplay of the rhythm section:  Tommy Flanagan, piano, Ron Carter, bass, and Connie Heath on drums.  On this remastered LP, one hears every nuance with delicious clarity, from the crackle of Kay’s cymbals to the big, fat sound of Carter’s walking lines. Rarely have Jackson’s uniquely swinging vibes been heard in a more sympathetic setting.
