Jazz 'N' Samba

简介:  by Scott YanowThis is an odd LP. The first session is a conventional one with vibraphonist Milt Jackson, tenor-saxophonist Jimmy Heath, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Connie Kay performing Heath's recent "Gingerbread Boy," Duke Ellington's "I Got It Bad" and a pair of Jackson originals. The flip side substitutes two guitars for Flanagan's piano and uses bossa nova rhythms in hopes of getting a hit. Milt does play well on "I Love You" and Lillian Clark's vocal on "Jazz 'N' Samba" is fine but "The Oo-Oo Bossa Noova" is strictly for those listeners who are nostalgic for Car 54, Where Are You.
