Fine Trumpeter?

Protobopper

I bought this record (on Mode) some 10 years ago since, reputedly, it contained solo's by tenor saxophonist Walter Benton, a musician I admire very much. Unfortunately this record's star appears to be a somewhat raucous trumpeter of questionable taste and not a good singer either. And Benton obviously had an off day. Well, you can't win 'em all!

This VSOP CD (which reissues a Mode LP from 1957) features Bryant heading a quartet (comprised of pianist Roger Fleming, bassist Ben Tucker, and drummer Bruz Freeman) that is sometimes augmented by Walter Benton on tenor and trumpeter Normie Faye (who sticks to section work). Bryant, who also sings, does a fine job of interpreting eight standards, with the highlights including “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “Tea for Two,” and “This Can’t Be Love.” – Scott Yanow
