HMV Review

Although Art Taylor was one of the busiest modern second-generation jazz drummers, working in the studio with Coleman Hawkins, Donald Byrd, John Coltrane and many others, he only released five albums under his own name, of which A.T.'s Delight was the third. And a delight it is indeed, bright and percussive, and when conga player Carlos Patato Valdes joins Taylor and pianist Wynton Kelly and bassist Paul Chambers on three cuts (Thelonious Monk's Epistrophy, Move and a Taylor calypso-inflected original called Cookoo and Fungi), the rhythm pocket opens into a deep blue sea for the horn men (Stanley Turrentine on tenor sax and Dave Burns on trumpet). Move does exactly that, it moves, and at a blistering pace. Monk's Epistrophy, thanks in part to Valdes, reveals its rumba roots, and has never sounded brighter. The seldom-covered Coltrane composition Syeeda's Song Flute seems likewise refreshed and revived. The lone Taylor original, the driving Cookoo and Fungi, is as sharp and alert is a kitten waking from a nap in the spring sun, and Taylor's drum solo is crisp, efficient and slides seamlessly into the calypso-informed main theme. A.T.'s Delight is a solid outing, with a wonderfully nervous but completely focused energy. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

    コンガが入ることで、リズムにこれほど躍動感が生まれるとは!スタンリー・タレンタインの男性的で硬派ななトーンも魅力、ウィントン・ケリーも好調。CMove はリズムの嵐、怒濤のリズムです。何度聴いても圧倒されます。リーダーのドラミングが切れ味抜群なのはいうまでもありません。通好みの一枚です。ある程度ジャズになじみのある方、ドラムに興味のある方にオススメの一枚。

    評価:★★★★ リーダーだけれども決して出しゃばらずに、裏方に徹してひたすらビートを刻み続ける姿は「職人魂」そのもの。しかし、3.ムーヴではちょっとはじけてコンガとのバトル。これがまたスリリングで楽しい演奏。タレンタイン、ケリーも絶好調!
