The Philly-born tenor saxophonist has been a major star in the jazz world: as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, co-founder of the Jazztet with Art Farmer, and creator of compelling compositions, film scores, and TV scores. Now, thanks to his cameo in Steven Spielberg's movie, The Terminal, Golson's star will shine even brighter. Here, Golson is backed by a powerhouse combo featuring trumpeter Eddie Henderson, pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Carl Allen. Golson's deep and lyrical tenor dips into some of his best-known hard-bop gems, like in-the-pocket classics "Killer Joe" and "Blues March," and he comes up with some new delights such as the calypso-cadenced "Caribbean Drifting." The title track, with its oblique and urbane melody, is of course inspired by the movie. It's a much better enticement to see it than any movie trailer could ever be. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Golson's Gold.......2004-09-16
Bennie Golson is 75 this year.
That makes him a contemporary of Miles Davis and Stan Getz. It is interesting speculate on whether Stan and Miles would be doing the burnished, polished enjoyable music featured here if their, hmmm, bad habits hadn't shortened their lives. It amazes me that as many Jazz artists get older, they get better, often. Or more Mellow. (Rock musicians tend to have a brief few years and vanish).
Mellow. Smooth. That's how I would characterize Benny and his group and their play here. Many songs are Golson classics. 'Killer Joe' is a jazz description of a ghetto gentleman in "a form fitting dark pin stripe suit and a wide brim felt hat who is opposed to manual labor, his, but is willing to accept cash contributions from women...".
My favorite, other than Killer Joe, is 'Park Avenue Petite', a hopeless love ballad about a guy from the ghetto who sees and attractive uptown lady he will never know. When asked "how long should you pause between notes in a ballad?", Benny replied "long enough to go out for a sandwich! A ballad gives the artist no place to hide. Ballads are harder than bebop." I agree, wholeheartedly.
Title track is from Golson's playing in the Spielberg/Tom Hanks movie of the same name.
There is a gentle unhurried swing to most numbers. Benny doesn't push everyone else to the side to solo, in fact often Ed Henderson's trumpet seems in the lead. Great warm bass work here too, by the man in love with the E string, Buster Williams. Well recorded. satisfying. Jazz in the traditional style of late Stan and early/middle Miles.
well recorded

Customer Reviews:
Excellent 70's pop.......2007-01-11
I stumbled across this guy by accident, and had I known he was responsible for "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song) I would have written him off immediately. But his body of songwriting is a very different story. "Widescreen", "Escape-The Best of Rupert Holmes" and "Pursuit of Happiness" are filled with melodic, entertaining, thought provoking songs.
He is essentially a lost artist from that era. Instrumentation is often complex, the lyrics tell stories and, god forbid, challenge you to think about your life.
Great songwriting is a lost art in the era of hip hop and rap. If you like Burt Bacharach, Barry Manilow (I know what you're thinking but check out "Here At The Mayflower"), Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonalds best work, you should like "Widescreen".
Beautiful melodies, great lyrics, interesting arrangements well played. For some of us that's as good as it gets.
You're never bored...........2005-02-11
It didn't come as any big surprise to me that Rupert Holmes moved from music to writing books. Every song is a story in itself.
"Brass Knuckles" is a Chandleresque tale of a gumshoe set out to restore the honor of a fallen partner.
"Letters that Cross in the Mail" talks about relationships dying via the foibles of communication. It's still as droll as it ever was.
"Psycho Drama" uses the voices of Radio Mystery Theatre players to recreate the long-dead radio play.
The music's definitely dated, but the themes are not. I love Holmes' wry humor and humanity. This is my favorite of his music and often revisited.
Like A Grand Old House, Restored With Additions!.......2002-02-03
I've always considered this to be one of the great albums EVER, but oh wowo zowie - this is such a treat. The remastering is masterful; the musical nuances are clear at last. The additional tracks are wonderful, but especially terrific are Rupert's liner notes detailing the making of "Widescreen" in 1973-74. NOW I know how they made "Letters That Cross In The Mail" sound so unique..! Listening to it is still one of the most memorable musical experiences ever recorded. I can't recommend this CD highly enough.
Rupert Holmes Creates Movies In Your Mind.......2000-03-22
When this album was first released on Epic Records in 1974, I thought it was brilliant. I still do. I was delighted when it was reissued on CD in 1995 on the Varese Vintage label. The album is a true blending of music and cinema...of the mind. The songs truly are movies unto themselves, short stories set to music, brilliantly written, arranged and performed. The "hit" was "Our National Pastime," wherein our hero meets a girl at a baseball game and attempts to seduce her to the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner." "Letters That Cross In the Mail" (later covered by Barbra Streisand on an album Holmes produced), "Terminal" and "Second Saxophone" are all surprise-ending stories with great melodies. "Widescreen" and "Bagdad" set distinct moods in surround sound before surround sound was invented. "Talk" is one of several songs on the CD that use bittersweet humor to express universal feelings and experiences. "Phantom of the Opera" and "Soap Opera" are both truly movies-on-CD, the first a beautiful and sad plea for love, the second a very funny satire on TV's "daytime dramas". The last track, "Psycho Drama," is just that; a short spoken play with incidental music and sound effects, and guest voices like Ed Herlihy and Will Jordan (whose characters are takeoffs on Peter Lorre and James Mason). The original CD version contained two bonus tracks from other Holmes albums, "Deco Lady" and "Brass Knuckles." but that version went out of print. Now it's back with even MORE bonus tracks! What are you waiting for? BUY IT!
