Об исполнителе (группе)

An excellent tenor saxophonist with an open mind who is best-known for his hard bop-oriented performances and recordings, Ron Holloway started playing music in the seventh grade. He worked in RB and funk bands early on, and sat in with such players as Sonny Rollins, Freddie Hubbard, and Dizzy Gillespie. After playing with Gil Scott-Heron during 1981-1988, Holloway (sounding a bit like Stanley Turrentine) was in Dizzy Gillespie's last band (1989-1992). He has recorded several albums as a leader for Milestone.

Об альбоме (сборнике)

by Scott Yanow
Tenor saxophonist Ron Holloway has a large tone slightly similar to Stanley Turrentine's and an adventurous style. He was a member of one of Dizzy Gillespie's last combos and, in the 1990s, led a series of dates for the Milestone label. This set is mostly straight-ahead jazz, often with funky rhythms, including the bebop standard Hot House. Among the better selections are a remake of Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder, Sonny Rollins' The Everywhere Calypso, and a duet with guitarist Paul Bollenback on You and I. Organist Joey DeFrancesco stars among the supporting cast. There is also a boppish version of How High the Moon and a jam on the Ron Carter bluesy 81, one of several songs that has a spot for trumpeter Chris Battistone. Two vocals by Gil Scott-Heron (a throwaway Is That Jazz? and Blue Collar) are departures, and the closing number, The Pulse, was Holloway's attempt to record rap with a positive message, although it falls short. Otherwise, this is an excellent effort.
