DAVIS CUP REVIEW

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

 [+]

Walter Davis, Jr.'s debut record as a leader for Blue Note is a terrific hard
bop session, a driving collection of six original tunes that emphasize the
strengths not only of the pianist himself, but also his supporting band:
trumpeter Donald Byrd, alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, bassist Sam Jones, and
drummer Art Taylor. Apart from the lovely ballad "Sweetness," Davis Cup moves
along at a brisk pace, with the rhythm section urging the soloists to new
heights. Byrd has rarely sounded better, and on this date McLean provides ample
evidence that he was moving beyond the conventions of hard bop and developing
his own unique style. Davis, of course, does more than acquit himself -- he
contributes an engaging, energetic performance that keeps the music grounded.
His compositions are just as captivating, whether it's the swinging "Rhumba
Nhumba" or the darkly invigorating "Minor Mind." It all adds up to a wonderful
straight-ahead hard bop date, one that's so good it's a wonder that Davis didn't
receive another chance to lead a session until 1979.

accompaniment. For this date, he was joined by trumpeter Donald Byrd, altoist
Jackie McLean, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Art Tay… Read More
