Give a listen to the blues-soaked groove on Bookie’s tune
“Pete’s Rock”–you’ll understand why Monk,
Cannonball, Sarah Vaughan and Sonny Rollins loved playing with
Walter. The gorgeous sound of his 1792 Viennese bass gracefully
propels the quintet with effortless, melodic danceability. The
legendary Cecil Payne’s mellow, breathy bari sax and
Marcus Belgrave’s ultra-blue trumpet are out front.
Leroy William’s drum accents are subtle explosions.
And Roni Ben Hur’s evocative acoustic guitar work
would make Wes smile. You can hear Bookie’s note-bending
soulfulness and the big, deep sound of his high-action pluck with
utter clarity. (#07232)
