Benny Golson - The Modern Touch (1957)

personnel :

Benny Golson - tenor saxophone
Kenny Dorham - trumpet
J. J. Johnson - trombone
Wynton Kelly - piano
Paul Chambers - bass
Max Roach - drums

Benny Golson's second album as a leader (reissued on CD in the OJC series) 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.~Scott Yanow
