Per Goldschmidt

Dutch Baritonist Per Goldscmidt's albums won't having you throw out your Mulligan, Shihab, or Brignola collection but for those of you who like Baritone post bop he's definitely underrecognized. But musicians know him and it is evidenced by who's along with him on this quartet outting including younger Dutch ace Nils Lan Doky on keys,Lonnie Plaxico on bass,and legend Jack Dejohnette on skins.I'd run a lengthy run down but let's say it's a solid CD good writing on original tunes. But pick this one after you have gotten the CD Tribute To Frank Sinatra.Incredible NHOP there and tunes that played in manner that might make both Frank and Nelson Riddle have the hair on there necks stand up on end.This CD here has same energy and ace playing but the use of otherwise familiar tunes turned into charging hard bop romps is a touch above.

Other than an album in 1966 and a few isolated numbers in 1970, trumpeter Howard McGhee made no recordings as a leader during 1963-75. In 1976 he started his final three years of recording activity with a date for Sonet and then this obscure effort for Steeplechase. McGhee shows some age in his playing but his crisp sound was still intact as was his bop-oriented style. Recorded in Copenhagen with old friend Kenny Clarke on drums, baritonist Per Goldschmidt, pianist Horace Parlan and bassist Mads Vinding, this set features McGhee performing four of his straightahead originals plus J.J. Johnson's "Wee Dot." The spirit of classic bebop is very much alive on this enjoyable set.
