On A Lazy
Afternoon, the esteemed and seasoned tenor vet Harold Land and
drummer Billy Higgins combine forces with the orchestration of Ray Ellis,
who arranged Billie Holiday's Lady in Satin, to create a
recording of jazz drive, tensile strength, and lush romanticism. For the
twelve standards included on the disc -- among them such classics as "Lazy
Afternoon," "You Don't Know What Love Is," "In a Sentimental Mood," and
"Invitation" -- Ellis has crafted deft arrangements that showcase Land's
proclivity for emotion-laden performances; the result is a dynamic package
that celebrates both melody and rhythm in an atmosphere rich with feeling. |
