If you've bought or listened to any jazz record since the mid-1950s, you've heard the legendary bassist Ron Carter on any number of them. He's played everything from hard-bop to Brazilian music, and on this CD he delves into Latin jazz. Backed by pianist Stephen Scott, percussionist Steve Kroon, and Fourplay drummer Harvey Mason, Carter's deep bass tones move from U.S. swing to Afro-Latin tumbao patterns with ease. His renditions of "Besame Mucho" and Ray Bryant's Cubop classic "Cubano Chant" move and groove. Carter changes the syncopated citizenship of Antonio Carlos Jobim's bossa nova "Corcovado" to a Cuban bolero, and his blues "Loose Change" is a hip-swinging tune that would be at home in the ballroom and the bodega. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Red Garland(and Al Jolson and..)Revisited.......2006-05-01

I am a sucker for anything by Red Garland-and I love 'Red Garland
Revisited';but on 'Grey Skies',he does the Al Jolson standard
'Sonny Boy'-which is the beautiful tune-beautifully played,that I measure everything else by.Red is accompanied here by Charlie Persip on drums and Wendell Marshall on bass,rather than Arthur Taylor (d) and Miles Davis rhythm section cohort Paul Chambers (b) and this trio does some great stuff with 'St. James Infirmary','My Honey's Lovin' Arms','I Ain't Got Nobody','Baby Won't You Please Come Home','Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen' and 'My Blue Heaven'.Regardless of tempo,Red is always beautiful
to listen to.Reportedly,he once went a few rounds with Sugar Ray
Robinson-and I believe Sugar Ray learned something about how to
deal with 'time and space'-from Red. When listening to him,you can "always" hear Al Jolson say,"You ain't heard nuthin' yet",before another encore performance of 'Sonny Boy' or one of his other masterpieces.

Typical Garland trio album.......2005-12-07

One among dozens of albums Red Garland made for Prestige, this trio session was cut in October 1962, with Wendell Marshall (b) and Charlie Persip (d). The highlight here is Red's interpretation of MY HONEY'S LOVIN' ARMS, a tune usually associated with trad bands. Done up-tempo, Red swings it nicely with just the right modern touches added to it. On SONNY BOY, the old Al Jolson tune, Red plays the verse very slowly and unaccompanied, but then things pick up somewhat when the rhythm joins in.

NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN, is taken just a bit too slowly and goes on for almost 12 minutes, though Red really gets into a blues groove near the end. Red's locked-hands chordal approach is evident throughout the album (that's the sound from Red that Miles liked the most). I think Garland produced more successful albums than this one, but it's a good one just the same.

In the pocket latin jazz.......2004-04-18

This is simply relaxing, beautiful jazz in a latin framework. Not latin in a jazz mode, but the jazz here comes first, with the incomparable Ron Carter leading the way. I have loved the music Ron Carter has done. With the second Miles Davis quintet onward, Mr. Carter has played on so many sessions and added a musical quality to each. He is truly one of the jazz legends (along with such living legends as Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins, Elvin Jones, and McCoy Tyner). If you get a chance to see these legends perform, enjoy them live while you can.

wow! An amazing latin-jazz record. It's on the mellow bossa side of things but the guys on this record can really play. Ron carter "leads" with logical brilliance and beauty. Stephen scott's piano phrasing is perfect. Not too busy, but very rhythmic. Harvey mason has a very interesting style. He lays back when necessary, but has a very original style. Steve kroons adds percussive colors that enhance the rhythm section. If youm like this, get "the bass and i." This is my second favorite latin jazz record only to roy haynes trio w/danilo perez and john patitucci. Buy that one, trust me.
