Piano – Horace Parlan; Tenor Saxophone – Joe Van Enkhuizen.
A nice little record that's very much along the lines of the duet sessions that pianist Horace Parlan cut with Archie Shepp – done with a similar open, soulful style that really brings a lot of personal energy to these tunes penned by Duke Ellington! This might be the first time we've ever heard tenorist Joe Van Enkhuizen, but he's a surprisingly great player – and one who carves out these raspy lines on his instrument that fit really well with the well-crafted lines from Parlan's piano – a lot more subtle and spacious than during his Blue Note years, but maybe even more powerful because of that.

Thanks! The tenor plays beautifully... and Parlan is alwats Parlan! Cheers Daniel, from Spain...
ReplyDeleteThe only other Enkhuizen session I've come across. Now I've got two! Great little known tenor-man. Thanks to all.
