Music reviews of The Paul Desmond Quartet Live
Music Review: Eternally Captivating
Rating: 5 Stars
Paul Desmond at the peak of his powers, despite suffering from the lung cancer that would take him from us not long after this gig.
I remember reading an account of Desmond asking Jim Hall to recommend musicians to work with in Canada. Hall reportedly advised "don't use piano. Ask for a guitar player named Ed Bickert."
"He's good?" Desmond asked.
"He's the only cat that scares me when I walk into the room" Hall replied.
Bickert pulls some amazing chords out of his axe, and is clearly listening to and communicating with the other players; and they with him. Desmond's work here is riveting - among the best ever documented. Jerry Fuller is not given a great deal of opportunity to stretch out, but his brushwork & timekeeping are impeccable. Don Thompson is nothing short of a latter day Scott LaFaro. And unlike LaFaro in the 60s, 70s technology allowed Thompson's bass to be properly mic'd and heard and appreciated.
A performance that showcases Desmond's skill, sensitivity, and utter originality. Desert island material for little ol' moi.
