Quintet [LP]

Paul Chambers – Quintet [LP]

Quintet places bassist Paul Chambers at the head of a group featuring Donald Byrd, Clifford Jordan, Tommy Flanagan and Elvin Jones. Recorded in 1957, the session balances hard-bop ensemble playing with space for Chambers’ melodic bass work. The trumpet and tenor saxophone front line gives the arrangements both warmth and bite.

Genre: Jazz, Hard Bop.
