Rabshakeh Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 John Handy's Quintet featuring Barry Martyn – John Handy's Quintet Featuring Barry Martyn Trad altoist Cap'n John Handy, rather than the late 60s alto player John Handy III. This record's great. I don't know why it took me so long to uncover Handy's music. Right on the border between trad, swing and R&B. Super tight and full of juice. Trumpeter Cuff Billett is great on this one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 On my 4th listen to this, my early impression is that it'd be hard to beat for a single disc of Hawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It's a tremendous album, some of my favorite Hawkins. Edited July 10, 2023 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted July 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Glenn Osser. Seems to have been the de facto Mathis guy in those days. Totally competent, but maybe teetering just a teensy bit towards a lack of real personality. But jeez, on something like that, Mathis is so intense it's personality enough for the whole song. All the arrangement has to do is to, above all, not suck and then just keep the runway lit. Mission accomplished then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I had fun reviewing Mathis witn enthusiasm back in the day. My recollection ia that the more or less orchestral timbres he could come up with in live performance were almost unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Johnny Mathis has been severely undervalued by history. Only a very little bit of that is understandable, and even less of it is excusable, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
