...BLAKEY WITH THE ORIGINAL JAZZ MESSENGERS (Jazz Odyssey). Drummer Blakey was the spark that lit up several small groups in the '50s. Here, reissued, is a particularly successful set, with one of the finest Blakey combos-Horace Silver on piano, Hank Mobley on tenor sax, Donald Byrd on trumpet and Doug Watkins on bass. They play hard-bop tunes (two of which are by now familiar Silver compositions), while Blakey drives them on with a flavoring of calypso or a tight break to emphasize the beat. On InfraRae and Hank's Symphony, his throbbing rolls and cymbal cadences...

INTRODUCING DUKE PEARSON'S BIG BAND (Blue Note). Pianist-Arranger Pearson, whose previous records featured smaller groups, has gathered 15 solid players in order to amplify his musical ideas. Straight Up and Down is a tidy blend of high-flying exuberance and smooth delivery (note the trumpet's sassy quote of Sweet Georgia Brown and the baritone sax's sly paraphrase of Once I Had a Secret Love). While Mississippi Dip is a blues to be taken lithely, A Taste of Honey switches tempos faster than the foot can follow, building to heated ensemble crescendos behind Frank...
