Barbara Dennerlein: Junkanoo
|
Verve 537122-2 Barbara Dennerlein, Hammond B-3 organ, synthesizer, grand piano Don Alias, percussion Randy Brecker, trumpet, flugelhorn Dennis Chambers, drums Thomas Chapin, flute Frank Colon, percussion Howard Johnson, baritone sax, tuba Frank Lacy, trombone Joe Locke, vibes David Murray, tenor sax Lonnie Plexico, bass David Sanchez, tenor sax, soprano sax Mitch Watkins, guitar Huge amounts of premature praises - but a result I would have expected with the outstanding talent of Barbara. No evergreens, all songs composed by herself, a truly extraordiary list of famous musicians let this album count to one of the highlights of jazz organ music. It starts just with "A Cat Strikes Back" - will Jimmy Smith remember that certain meeting with Barbara a lot years ago which ended not very harmonical? But now the cat who struck again will be struck back - ok, that's life! |
Without any wrong nationalism: Barbara is the better of the two shooting stars.
