Исполнитель: Walter Benton Название альбома: Out Of This World Год выпуска: 1960, Jazzland Формат файлов: Mp3, 320 Размер архива: 101 Mb Скачать с: dfiles Walter Benton (September 8, 1930 in Los Angeles – August 14, 2000) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist.
Benton first began playing saxophone as a high schooler in Los Angeles. After three years of service in the Army in the early 1950s, he played in 1954 with Kenny Clarke, Max Roach, and Clifford Brown. From 1954 to 1957 he played with Perez Prado, including on a tour of Asia. He worked with Quincy Jones in 1957 and Victor Feldman in 1958-59. He led his own group from 1959, recording under his own name in 1960 with Freddie Hubbard, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Tootie Heath. That same year he worked with Max Roach and Julian Priester. In 1961 he recorded with Abbey Lincoln, Roach again, Eric Dolphy, and Slide Hampton. Later in the 1960s he worked with Gerald Wilson and John Anderson.
This album, his only date as a leader, was recorded that same year. A successful, unaffected blowing session, it demonstrated that he had reached full maturity as a player, with a style influenced by Charlie Parker, but owing a debt to an earlier lineage from Coleman Hawkins, a trait especially evident in his sound. Playing with typical fluency, drive and imagination, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard contributes much to the success of the album, as does pianist Wynton Kelly, an impeccable combination of soul and taste as part of one of the stellar rhythm sections of the era, with bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb completing the Miles Davis quintets famed engine room. The perfect rhythm section does not suffer when Tootie Heath replaces Cobb on three performances. Walter Benton went back to Los Angeles in 1961, but sadly did not do any more albums like this. www.freshsoundrecords.com
