Up, jump, spring (Benny Golson) (LP 1060)

Benny Golson  Benny Golson Quartet (CD, LRC Ltd, 1990) ****  

GenreJazz 

Places I remember: Slow Boat Records

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Voyage

Gear costume: Stable Mates

Active compensatory factors: Benny started recording in my birth year - 1957, and remarkably was still performing at the highest level in 1990.

There is plenty to enjoy here - from the developing groove of opener Up, Jump, Spring to the extended flurries on Stable Mates finishes off the album superbly.

The only track I'm not that found of is Gypsy Jingle Jangle but that's just a matter of personal taste.

Where do they all belong? Proudly sits in the jazz collection along with the bigger names.
