First Contact – Live At The Rob Roy
CD (Item 614737) King (Japan), 1973 — Condition: New Copy
A stone smoker from tenorist Seiichi Nakamura – thanks partly to some great trombone from Shigeharu Mukai! Shige's one of our favorite Japanese trombonists from the 70s, and he really gives this session a deep degree of soul – working strongly in the frontline with Seiichi, and getting tight rhythm support from Hiroshi Tamura on piano, Isoo Fukui on bass, and Takuji Kusumoto on drums! Most of the record is in a straight hardbop mode – which really lets the tenor and trombone shine – and titles include "Frank N Earnest", "Closing Theme For Quintet", "Judy's Samba", and "Melba's Blues". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
