Volume deux of the 1955 Cafe Bohemia sessions from Art Blakeys second edition
Jazz Messengers is better than the first. The music is more energetic, cohesive,
and pushes the hard bop farther. Where the first volume featured compositions of
newly recruited trumpeter Kenny Dorham, it is tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley
asserting himself on the bandstand with his set pieces that formed the
foundation of the first studio edition of the quintet that included Donald Byrd.
Here, Mobley does not defer to Dorham, pushing his sound forward without
compromising his vision. Sportin Crowd is definitely an ear opener, a
straight-ahead, hard bop gem based on the changes of the Sonny Rollins classic
Tenor Madness. A live version of Hanks Symphony -- recapitulated from the studio
version on the original Jazz Messengers LP for the Columbia label -- has an
Asian and calypso flair with many accented notes and a secondary melody. The
killer track is Mobleys Avila & Tequila, drenched in Blakeys churning Afro-Cuban
beats, filled with multiple modal devices especially from Horace Silver, and
charges ahead as if there was no tomorrow -- a truly memorable and vital
performance. The other tracks may seem to pale by comparison, but the easy,
bluesy Like Someone in Love, a short ballad version of Yesterdays finally
featuring trumpeter Dorham, and Mobleys luscious tenor during the ultimate
tearjerker I Waited for You offer stark contrast while losing no internal
intensity. It is on Just One of Those Things where the band really straightens
up and convenes in tandem, a solid cohesion where Dorham and Mobley work like an
effortless, major league shortstop and second base double-play combination. Gone
with the Wind finishes this set in soulful, legato, dispassionate refrains. This
is a more consistent effort than the first volume, with a much anticipated,
late-night set still on the horizon.~Michael G. Nastos
