Title: Frank Foster/George Wallington- Two Unsung Heros
Review: Barry Harris credits Frank Foster as his favorite saxophonist. Here we see why. Foster has a lock on what jazz is, at its core and most meaningful. The first half of this CD showcases his playing in a fine quintet setting, you'll really get to know Foster on these tracks.But perhaps my favorite part of the CD is the second half, designed to feature George Wallington. The arrangements by Quincy Jones are delicious. One of my favorites. "Frankie and Johnny" is low-key and swinging; "Festival" is bright and clearly fun to play.
