专辑介绍

by Stewart Mason

A slightly odd, transitional release, 1966's Workin' finds organist Shirley Scott moving away from the small-combo format she worked in (most often with husband Stanley Turrentine) during the early '60s into slightly larger arrangements more in keeping with the mid-'60s trend toward groove-based soul-jazz in which she was the primary, and usually only, soloist. Tunes like &Autumn Leaves,& which is practically a solo performance with absolutely minimal bass and drums (perhaps a nod to pianist Bill Evans, who did the tune regularly in a similarly stripped-down fashion), sit next to bluesy vamps like the extended, smoky &Chapped Chops& and gospel workouts like a groove-oriented version of the old church standard &Down By the Riverside,& on which Scott sounds uncomfortably like the little old lady who plays choppy, repetitive, bass-heavy organ runs at the baseball stadium. That misstep aside, Scott plays with her typical fluidity and taste throughout. &You're My Everything& even manages the difficult feat of having piano and organ coexist in a small-combo setting without sounding needlessly cluttered, by having Scott trade choruses with Ronnell Bright, each wisely laying out while the other one takes over. Start with the Scott/Turrentine dates first, but check this one out.
