Music reviews of West Coast Blues!
Music Review: An object lesson in the importance of sequencing
Rating: 5 Stars
The other reviewer is spot-on and absolutely correct about how great this album is. Therefore, I wanted to add a comment on a side issue: the importance of sequencing to the reception of an album. Remember that this recording was released in the LP era, with a Side A and a Side B. If I had bought it in those days, I would ALWAYS play Side B first, beginning with Wes Montgomery's funky title tune (and, remember, in 1960, soul jazz was just beginning to take off), followed by two brilliantly intricate Harold Land originals clearly influenced by his pal Elmo Hope but which nevertheless seem more accessible than anything Hope composed. If Side B had led off this album, I maintain that it would have been far more highly regarded by posterity. Instead, Side A begins with a nice (but less challenging) Land original, followed by the album's safest track (a Charlie Parker cover) and an atmospheric standard (Billie's "Don't Explain"). Listen to the album in the order I suggest (tracks 4 through 6, then tracks 1 through 3), and you'll hear how much more groundbreaking it sounds.....
