Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 2004 20-bit Remaster is Superb!This is another great hard bop session with Rudy Van Gelder at the helm. Doesn't get much better than this - everyone is in top form - be sure to get the 2004 Prestige/New Jazz remaster - the sound quality is unbelievable. Rating: - This album is like being suplexed by jazz. I ofcourse mean that in the good way...OK, let's keep this simple. JC and Kenny Burrell. An I'm talking the real JC, not that carpenter. If you are a Guitarist and you don't own this album I just don't see how you can show your face in public. You are failing as aperson. If you claim to love Jazz and you don't have this album, you sir or madam are a liar. Get this album. Don't be an idiot. It's John Coletrain and Kenny Burell. Did you not hear me? --Rock Rating:  - Easy Swinging jazz amongst furious players.The fact that Flanagan an easy swinger picked the furious John coltrane to makes this album exciting. Louis Hayes was about to become part of one of the great quintets of late fiftys and Sixties, the Horace Silver Quintet. Doug Watkins was another unfortune car crash victm who was steadily rivaling Paul Chambers. Cats Is an interesting album with an straight ahead swinging feel. Coltrane is the best player on the session, no doubt. Rating: - This is better than "Saxophone Colossus".The rhythmn section is the same (Hayes for Roach) as "Sax Colossus", but Rollins is replaced by Coltrane, Burrell, and Sulieman. "Minor Mishap", is a unique composition and the only flaw is that it could have been played faster. "How long..." is a nice ballad and very different from others mostly because it is a duo. "Eclypso" is a swinger and solos are relaxed(even Tranes). This music is very under-rated and Flanagan was one of the few be-bop pianists to fool around with hardbop. If you like "Saxophone Colossus", which i'm sure you will, don't think twice and get this. It and "Saxophone Colossus" are my two favorite Prestige albums. Rating: - Swinging catsThis is an album that no Jazz fan should miss. It's another 1957 album (but, how many Jazz albums did the record industry produced that year? I guess thousands!) and this could be enough. But there's a lot more here. "The cats" is a strong release still considering that it came out in the Jazz magic year. It is one of those albums that immediatly catch your attention and that become one of those that you really can't stay too much time far from ... The line up is stellar: Flanagan piano, Coltrane tenor sax, Burrell guitar, Sulieman trumpet, Watkins doublebass, Louis Hayes drums. The program is terrific: the opener "Minor mishap" is a minor swinger similar to "Strode rode" from Rollins's "Saxophone colossus" for example. Sublime the band's interpretation ... Read More: |
