Instead the album is more nuanced than that . " <I>Walkin Back</I> " has a blues feeling reminiscent of a blues master like Ray Bryant. At various points in the album Mabern sounded like McCoy Tyner . On " <I>There's a Kind of Hush</I>" Mabern dipped into his Red Garland bag a little as well . " <I>B & B</I> " has the kind of austere loveliness that I associate with Wayne Shorter . " <I>To Wane</I> " was recorded by Mabern when he was with Wes Montgomery , where it was called , " To When " . This was my first exposure to Buddy Terry . Would love to hear the two dates he led for Prestige .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865785835642287177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38447778.post-29890239269889090012007-03-29T00:12:00.000+02:002007-03-29T00:12:00.000+02:00Thanks for the upload, and thanks also for the lin...Thanks for the upload, and thanks also for the link, Daniel. Never listened to Mabern before, but I liked this one very much. Plenty, plenty soul in there, and a lot of blues. I have work in the morning, or else I think I'd be playing this one all night. Can't keep up with all this great music you are offering, my friend. <BR/><BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
