There’s no doubting whose record this really is... If you don’t know Cook’s work, or if you’ve only heard the Silver sessions, this will be a saxophonic wake-up call. Very recommended! Simon... — Jazzwise, April 2019, 4 out of 5 stars More…

About

Drummer Louis Hayes, best known from his work with Cannonball Adderley presented together with his co-leader, tenor-saxophonist Junior Cook, known from his work with Horace Silver, a fantastic hard bop quintet, which featured young Woody Shaw on trumpet. The trumpeter turned 32 in the year this recording was made and was already on track for a career, which would make him one of the most important representatives of contemporary jazz (silenced way too early!). Shaw died in 1989, not even 45 years old. Already almost completely blind, Shaw was struck by a subway car in Brooklyn, NY, which severed his left arm. Shaw suffered complications in the hospital and died of kidney failure on May 10, 1989. Recordings of Shaw together with his own ensemble are among the highlights of the Onkel Po series and more will follow soon.
