BOOKER LITTLE レコード& CD

Review: Out Front is a 1961 album by American jazz trumpeter Booker Little, which is now seeing a reissue on the original album on which it was released, Candid - one of the seminal New York jazz labels to operate in the 1960s. With contributions by Max Roach and Don Friedman, the album is an energetic, synesthetically orange foray through hard bop in six movements. Ride cymbal and multiple multitracked trumpets take centre stage, building a backstreety mood, without too much of the blues, and a tad more sundown-yellows.
