Music Review: In The Land Of West Coast All-Stars
Rating: 5 Stars
Harold Land's "West Coast Blues" may be a one-time gathering of jazz all-stars, but it is one of the best jam sessions in the OJC catalog. This album is quite a departure from his more personal previous effort "The Fox" (see my review), in that Land has to be more of a team player due to the immense talents of his colleagues featured here -- Wes Montgomery on guitar, Joe Gordon on trumpet, and as the album jacket says, "the all-soul rhythm section" of Barry Harris on piano, Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. If this seems like an unlikely lineup, you're right it is. This session came together in May 1960 for the Jazzland label (an offshoot of Riverside) when the Cannonball Adderley Quintet (of which Harris, Jones and Hayes were members) was in San Francisco for an extended gig. Wes Montgomery was also living in San Fran and was just beginning to receive acclaim (one wonders if he would have cut this session even a year later -- probably not he would have been too big). Orrin Keepnews then brought Land and Gordon up from L.A. to complete the session. The fact that the rhythm section had played together so frequently provides this jam session with a solid foundation, but it is the magical interplay between Wes, Land and Gordon that really sets this disc on fire. There are three Land originals here (all are excellent) and the title track is Wes Montgomery's composition. Any fan of Land, Montgomery or even Cannonball will thoroughly enjoy this fantastic outing.
