The Jazztet
were only in existence for a brief time (1959-1962, not counting the
later reunions), but with a flurry of recording activity they left a
valuable legacy. By the time of they made their fourth album, co-leaders
Art Farmer and Benny Golson were the only remaining original members,
but the presence of underrated trombonist Tom McIntosh (who is
appreciated more for his compositions than his playing ability, since he
stopped performing in 1969), Cedar Walton, bassist Thomas Williams, and
drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath are a welcome presence. These live
performances are from a 1961 engagement at the Birdhouse in Chicago.
Golson's "Junction" is an easygoing blues that is marred slightly by
what seems to be a rather sloppy edit in the master tape. A hard-blowing
up-tempo take of "Farmer's Market," written by Farmer but arranged by
Golson, features memorable solos by the leaders, while J.J. Johnson's
arrangement of his blues "Shutterbug" clearly inspires the group.
McIntosh's "November Afternoon" seems to begin as a ballad, but quickly
evolves into a hard bop cooker. Golson's extended treatment of
Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight" features his emotional tenor sax,
while Farmer alternates between his mellow flugelhorn and fiery trumpet.
The interaction between the musicians throughout the session adds to
the value of this live material, and it is good to finally have it
reissued intact, though it won't be available for long since it is part
of Verve's limited-edition reissue series.
