Bobby Wellins - The Satin Album
£7.00
This wonderful CD took its inspiration (and running order) from the marvellous Billy Holiday recording Lady in Satin. This suberbly engineered CD recreates the Rudy van Gelder sessions and it's a regular feature on Jazz FM's Dinner Jazz. Bobby Wellins - tenor saxophone, Colin Purbrook - piano, Dave Green - bass, Clark Tracey - drums "A masterful display of controlled sensitivity from one of the most original voices in European Jazz" The Sunday Times Like much of jazz the interpretation of the song often brings much more to the music than was there, note John Coltrane's treatment of My Favourite Things. In this case, however, there is so much weight of expectation covering such an iconic album in total. It is a tribute to Wellins and his band that they pull this off so brilliantly. Wellins tone and phrasing have always dripped with raw emotion, note his playing on Stan Tracey's Under Milkwood, and he is clearly playing to his stregths here. This is a saxophonist who is recognised amougst his peers as a brilliant player and interpreter of songs; he deserves a wider recognition as a national musical treasure. There is aple evidence for this on this album alone. A customer review
