Listener Reviews & Comments
Dave Glasser has paid his dues, having been a member of the Count Basie Band and also a long-time student of "Keeper of the Bebop Flame", Barry Harris. He is now in his prime, has nothing to prove to anyone, and is simply one of the best alto sax players in the world. His taste runs toward the lyrical, and he leaves the "angry-man" playing to other folks. There is not a dissonant note on this album. Instead, having surrounded himself with like-minded players, he has created an incredibly relaxed session which gives the lie to the phrase "they don't play like that any more". The feeling is so free and easy that it reminds me of another of my favorite albums, "At Ease With Coleman Hawkins". If I had to choose a favorite cut, it would have to be "I've Been Working on the Railroad" (no, really). Another thing this album proves is that pianist Larry Ham seriously needs to be discovered. If you dig Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor, you wouldn't like this CD. If you think Frank Morgan, Scott Hamilton, and Lester Young are "It", then you won't go wrong.
