Sublime work from trumpeter Charlie Shavers  a player with a wonderful tone, and a clear, straightforward sound that was often sadly overlooked! The CD brings together the full tracks from 2 albums that Shavers recorded with pianist Ray Bryant Memorial, from 1959, and Here Comes Charlie, from 1960  both of them well-crafted sets that are a great example of Shaver's understated genius. 

The rhythms on both records are surprisingly complex  thanks to free drum work on the kit from Roy Burns, modern bass tones from Aaron Bell, and always-soulful work on piano from Ray Bryant and if we had to pick one album as our favorite, we'd say that we're especially flored by the Here Comes Charlie set as it goves far beyond even our already high opinion of Shaver's talents. https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/charlie-shavers-ray-bryant-albums/3991-complete-recordings-vol2.html

Personnel: Charlie Shavers (tp), Roy Burns (p), Tommy Bryant or Aaron Bell (b), Ray Bryant (d)
