Pure soul jazz heaven.
-
We Say...
Saxman Bryant paid his dues blowing greasy R&B on the '50s "chitlin circuit," but his first session for Prestige (recorded in early 1969) is pure soul jazz heaven. Of course, it doesn't hurt that he's backed by a wickedly groovy group that includes organist
Sonny Phillips and the legendary guitarist Grant Green. "Zoo Boogaloo," "Streak o' Lean" andLalo Schifrin 's "The Cat" are the choicest cuts here, but there isn't a weak track in the set. -
They Say...
Rusty Bryant, a veteran R&B tenor player, was somewhat forgotten at the time of his debut Prestige album, but due to the commercial success of this recording, Bryant would record seven more sessions for Prestige during the next five years. Actually, this date is a bit surprising, with Bryant sticking exclusively to alto and sometimes using an electrified model similar to what Lou Donaldson was playing at the time. The music (mostly blues-oriented originals) is enjoyable, with plenty of boogaloos and soulful vamps. In addition to Bryant, the main soloists are guitarist Grant Green, in excellent form, and organist Sonny Phillips.
