Review by Alex Henderson

Sonny Stitt and Sonny Criss weren't the only Sonnys who had a Charlie Parker-influenced tone on the alto sax. There was also Sonny Red, whose sound is best described as a combination of Bird and Jackie McLean. But unlike Parker and McLean, Red was a follower instead of a leader. The Detroit native wasn't as daring or imaginative as McLean became in the late 1950s; nor was he as forceful or aggressive. And unlike Stitt -- who was also a follower instead of a leader -- he never became a huge name in the jazz world. Nonetheless, Red was a likable, pleasing soloist who made some worthwhile recordings for Blue Note and Jazzland. Released in late 2000, this CD draws on two albums that Orrin Keepnews produced for Jazzland in 1961: The Mode and Images. Some of the material is straight bebop (including Dodge City, the Bird-like Blues for Donna, and an interpretation of Moon River, which movie buffs will forever associate with Audrey Hepburn's performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's), and some of it is modal post-bop. At times, Red's modal compositions sound like variations of well known standards -- Images brings to mind Speak Low, while The Mode is obviously based on Out of This World. The title Red, Blue Green refers to the fact that two of Red's sidemen on this CD are trumpeter Blue Mitchell and guitarist Grant Green, both of whom deliver some inspired solos. Unlike those heavyweights, Red didn't fully live up to his potential. But he had his moments, and this album is an enjoyable disc that should please fans of hard-swinging acoustic jazz.
