Jazz / Hard Bop / Piano
Horace Parlan had a gift for relaxed, swinging hard bop which placed his piano in a central, yet unassuming role. Speakin' My Piece is one of the first albums to find Parlan getting all the ingridients right, from his own subtle playing to soliciting fine contributions of his backing band. Stanley Turrentine, in fact, turns out to be an excellent complement to Parlan, playing in a similarly tasteful style. Five of the six numbers are band originals, and each number is quite similar – bluesy, gently swinging hard bop. No one pushes too hard on Speakin' My Piece, preferring to create an intimate atmosphere with milder numbers and performances. Such an approach gives each muscian – Parlan, Turrentine, bassist George Tucker, drummer Al Harewood – a chance to shine with lyrical, melodic solos and/or sympathetic support, resulting in a charmingly low-key session.
Classic 1960 Blue Note release from pianist Horace Parlan. Features saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, bassist George Tucker and drummer Al Harewood. The improvement in sound quality of XRCD over a conventional CD is not subtle. Obvious gains in clarity, transparency, dynamics and warmth of XRCD can be heard by all. XRCD allows the listener to hear what the producer and artist intended to hear, the sound of the original master tape. Plays on standard CD players.
