| | Donald Walden Monk & A Mingus Among Us CD (1998)
Blue Soundtrack music CDs
$17.05 Detroit tenor saxophonist Walden's second CD is truly a winning program, a collection of three Thelonious Monk and three Charles Mingus standards, two of Walden's originals, and one of Geri Allen's most potent compositions. Bassist Rodney Whitaker contributes hundredfold, drummer Karriem Riggins stokes the fires energetically, and pianist Gary Schunk is completely masterful throughout. Pianist William Evans and bassist Marion Hayden guest on three tracks, pianist Kenn Cox, trumpeter Marcus Belgrave and drummer Gerald Cleaver cameo on one. Walden's saxophone sound is informed by the Rollins-Coltrane-Charlie Rouse school, but does not cop their sonorities. His technique is lighter, lyrical, full toned but not brash or obvious. Of the Mingus pieces "Cell Block F" is the most buoyant and kinetic, "The I Of Hurricane Sue" an easy swinger loaded with Whitaker's fluent, fluid basslines and solo, while "Peggy's Blue Skylight" has the Belgrave-Cox-Cleaver tandem doing great justice as Belgrave, a former Mingus Jazz Workshop member, knows all too well. These are great interpretations that do Charles proud. The Monk tunes "Ruby My Dear," "Introspection" and "Bye-Ya" are all pretty straightly read, Schunk's witticism and deft touch accenting rather than shadowing Monk, while the Evans-Haden-no drummer combo on "Ruby" sets a more romantic mode for Walden's litling melodic theme. "Signed; Dizzy, With Love" has calm beat that belies Gillespie's wilder persona, while the powerhouse modern modal "Mr. Styx" has a hip, higher toned tenor pursued by Schunk's fleet piano. Allen's "M.O.P.E." is the bomb, a killin' modern modal figure with Whitaker's bass accents that sound organ-like, Schunk's piano utterly flying on his solo, his deep chordal comping anchoring Walden's piquant head and tail, truly a tour-de-force, definitive jazz tune for the times. As much as unrealized potential is served notice on this recording, fact is Walden's been stockpiling for years. Infrequent trips to the recording studio don't do the man fair justice, and it would behoove listeners to get wise to what decades of listening, performing and teaching have brought is in a most unique individual and solid jazzman. Recommended, especially for the unenlightened. ~ Michael G. Nastos
I had the pleasure of having played with Thelonius Monk once, Charlie Mingus once and Dizzy Gillespie once.The occassions were: during the years that I lived in New York (the ...
