Music reviews of Guys and Dolls Like Vibes

Music Review: Winning candidate--no spin needed.
Rating: 4 Stars

What a pleasant surprise to find this one reissued. Eddie Costa was an extremely promising if not formidable pianist before his premature death. Pick up his session on Mode (which I see has also been reissued) for some of the most pyrotechnical bass-register octave playing on record. As a vibist (his weapon of choice on this occasion), he's tasteful and competent but suffers from comparisons with numerous other players and from the prevailing fashion of the day, which was to keep the rotators spinning rapidly (it soon becomes a monotonous sound, as Milt Jackson would discover when he elected to slow them down to a rate of rotation still in favor among vibists who use the device).

An equally compelling reason to pick up this date is the presence of an emerging young pianist by the name of Bill Evans, whose lines are clean and incisive, cutting through the vibra-spin with refreshing authority. The drummer on the date is the ageless Paul Motian, though the interplay among members of the rhythm section has little resemblance to the Bill Evans Trio of the later, much-celebrated Vanguard sessions.
