Three's Company: We'll Be Together Again
) | Label: Chesky Records Catalog: JD376 Format: CD THREE'S COMPANYThe shadows of the Sonny Rollins trio and Joe Henderson trio hover over this sparse, revealing trio outing with Jackson, Carter and Drummond. Like his sax playing elders, Jackson put his own stamp on a set of well-chosen jazz standards while also showcasing a few originals.While playing without a chordal instrument was a challenge in some respects for the saxophonist, he explains that Carter’s presence more than made up for the absence of piano on this Chesky release. "Ron is kind of like a symphony behind you. So he can be several things at once. With him there, there are so many colors that are available to me. …with Ron, we have a lot of opportunities.”  Price: $21.98 |
