Benny Golson Sextet ‎– The Modern Touch (Japanese Pressing)

89,99

Rare Japanese Pressing of this Jazz Classic

Benny Golson’s second album as a leader is a solid hard bop date featuring the tenorman in a quintet with trumpeter Kenny Dorham, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Max Roach. The all-star group performs three Golson originals (none of which really caught on), a pair of Gigi Gryce tunes (best known is “Hymn to the Orient”) and the standard “Namely You.” Excellent playing on an above-average set that defines the modern mainstream of 1957 jazz.
