Review
Simon & Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' was the hottest album in the land in 1970, & Paul Simon's tunes from that & their earlier albums unexpectedly find a congenial advocate in Paul Desmond. Against the odds as determined by bopsters, Desmond finds something beautiful, wistful, and/or sly to say in each of these ten tunes, backed by Herbie Hancock's Rhodes electric piano & a set of ravishing orchestrations by Don Sebesky. Hancock's solos often reflect where he was personally at in 1970, with ideas transferred from his progressive electric Sextet. This is a Creed Taylor production in all but name; the sound, track editing, & production values are right in line with the A&M CTI line, but Sebesky is listed as producer, Taylor having recently severed his ties with A&M to form his own label. Polydor/Japan.Japanese Reissue of the Jazz Sax Giant's Tribute to the Songs of Simon and Garfunkel. Desmond was an Unexpected Advocate of Paul Simon's Music and Recorded These Tunes, Lending a Unique Jazz Perspective of What was Regarded as Pop Music of the Time. Though Production is Credited to Don Sebesky, the Sound Heard Here Has the Fingerprints of Trademark Creed Taylor Productions all Over It.
