Music reviews of Hard Bop
Music Review: Like it or not.
Rating: 4 Stars
[The following brief review was intended for the original "Hard Bop" on a 1956 Columbia date. The present "Hard Bop" is an anthology of essential Blakey recordings that can be easily recommended, though for some it might be preferable to go to the individual albums. For example, several of the tracks are from the indispensable "A Night at Birdland," an early (1954) Messengers' album and one of the first Blue Note "live" albums. It's revered by many collectors as representative of some of the best of Clifford Brown and originally was released as two separate vinyl volumes. (Give the nod to Vol. 1.)]
The trumpet player's last name may be Hardman, but it's Jackie McLean's hard-edged, sharp-sour alto sound that makes this the hardest hard bop you're likely to encounter. There's so little of Bill Hardman on record that I'd have to recommend this session, even though the extended unison lines, especially on "Stella" and "My Heart Stood Still," are somewhat excruciating to listen to. Take a look at "Reflections of Buhaina" (Hardman is featured throughout, McClean only on the first half) ahead of this one.
