When these two sessions took place, Paul Chambers was stilla young musician whose work with the Miles Davis Quintet had stirred muchexcitement. Both sessions are very special because they were not even scheduleddates.

The first, recorded in two hours for Jazz:West, a small LosAngeles label, was actually a date with the Davis group minus the leader andwith Kenny Drew in for Red Garland. The second, recorded a few weeks later forTransition, another small label based in Cambridge, Mass., came out of arehearsal session for a planned and unfinished album.

On both sessions Chambers shows to the full his remarkablyexpressive sound and technique. He could also be quite moving when he playedthe simplest and most direct lines, and his solos virtually claimed a spotlightfor the instrument in its own right as a horn with the others.

These dates have other virtues, including the soulful workof Kenny Drew, the multifaceted rhythmic drive of Philly Joe Jones. JohnColtrane is especially gripping on his own John Paul Jones, with Chambersequally inspiring. Curtis Fuller, on his debut, announced a major trombonetalent, with Pepper Adams, baritone sax with Stan Kenton, lending his hoarse,visceral sound to the session. Time has been good to these inspired blowingsessions.
