Description

                                                                                           ELVIN JONES "DEAR JOHN C. (COLTRANE)
2011 ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS THE IMPULSE! REISSUES, 2 LP, 45 RPM, 180G VINYL, PACKAGED IN EXTRA-THICK CARD-STOCK GATEFOLD JACKETS, ENGINEERED/MASTERED BY RUDY VAN GELDER, #98 OF A SOLD-OUT EDITION LIMITED OF 1,500 NUMBERED COPIES, CATALOG NUMBER A-88.
"THE SECOND ALBUM BY ELVIN JONES AS A SOLE TITLE RIGHTS LEADER (EXCLUDING THE CO-OP ENSEMBLE THAT RECORDED THE STUNNING AND ESSENTIAL JAZZ ICON "ILLUMINATION!) HAS THE DRUMMER SOUNDING MORE LIKE A BACKUP MUSICIAN, AS HE CLAIMS NO COMPOSITIONAL DUTIES OR NOTICEABLE SOLO SPACE. IN FACT, THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST ALBUMS IN THE CAREER OF ALTO SAXOPHONIST CHARLIE MARIANO, WHO OCCUPIES THE BULK OF LEAD LINES AND IMPROVISING RESPONSIBILITIES. HE'S SO UP-FRONT, AND ON AN INSTRUMENT THAT IS NOT JOHN COLTRANE'S MAIN INSTRUMENT--TENOR SAX--THAT THE TITLE IS ALSO A BIT OF A MISNOMER. THE VALUE OF JONES AS A LEADER LIES IN HIS CONCEPT OF USING FELLOW DETROITER SIR ROLAND HANNA OR BROTHER HANK JONES ON SELECTED TRACKS, OR IN THE CASE OF THREE TRACKS, NO PIANIST. BASSIST RICHARD DAVIS ROUNDS OUT THIS TRULY BRILLIANT ENSEMBLE OF BURGEONING MID-60'S JAZZ STARS, WHO PLAY AN ENTICING COLLECTION OF STANDARDS, BOP, COMPOSITIONS OF BOB HAMMER, AND ORIGINALS FROM SEVERAL MODERN SOURCES. A STONE COLD BEPOPPER AND CHARLIE PARKER DEVOTEE AT THE TIME OF THIS RECORDING."
"MARIANO IS THE STANDOUT PERFORMER. HE SWINGS EASILY BUT MIGHTILY ON THE TITLE TRACK PARALLELING CONTRANE'S "MILESTONES", STRETCHES THE CHARLES MINGUS EVERGREEN "REINCARNATION OF A LOVEBIRD" (TITLED HERE AS "LOVE BIRD"), AND PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS WITH HANK JONES DURING AN ONLY SLIGHTLY FLAWED (THEY MISS THE FIRST TWO NOTES) VERSION OF THE TRICKY "ANTHROPOLOGY". THEY TACK A CALYPSO BEAT ONTO DUKE ELLINGTON'S "FANTAZM" IN A PLAYFUL, MODERN DRESS, AND STROLL ON THE LIVELY HAMMER COMPOSITION "THAT FIVE-FOUR BAG" AS AN OFFSHOOT RETORT TO DAVE BRUBECK'S "TAKE FIVE." THE THREE TRACKS SANS PIANO INCLUDE A WALKING VERSION OF "EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO ME", THE BALLAD "SMOKE RINGS", WHERE BAND EXCEPTING MARIANO IS RELAXED; AND FRANK SINATRA'S "THIS LOVE OF MINE", WHERE THE EMOTIVE SAXOPHONIST DIPS INTO HUMOR, EVEN A BIT RIBALD. THE VARIETY FROM CUT TO CUT IS ENGAGING, AND THERE'S NOTHING OVER THE TOP, EVEN THE DRUMMING OF ELVIN JONES. WITH THE MUSICALITY AT A HIGH LEVEL, "DEAR JOHN C." NEEDS REVISITING BY DRUMMING STUDENTS AND JAZZ FANS TO NOTE HOW TEAMWORK, SHARED VALUES, AND HELD-IN-CHECK DYNAMICS BENEFIT THE OVERALL QUALITY OF MUSIC. IT SEEMS THIS RECORDING IS UNDERRATED WHEN OVER TIME IT SHOULD NEVER BE. "DEAR JOHN C." IS DESERVING OF AN EXCELLENT RATING."-----MICHAEL G. NASTOS, ALL MUSIC
