Our Take

Ah, BOOKER LITTLE's self-titled album, Booker Little 4 & Max Roach, has landed on our headphones like a sweet symphony of brass and drums. This reissued gem from Tone Poet is a real treat for jazz enthusiasts, showcasing the undeniable talent of the late trumpet maestro Booker Little and legendary drummer Max Roach.

From the moment the first notes of "Opening Statement" hit our eardrums, we are transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New York City. Little's smooth trumpet playing is nothing short of mesmerizing, with each note carrying a power and depth that is truly captivating. Roach's drumming, on the other hand, is nothing short of masterful, driving the rhythm with a precision and flair that only a jazz legend could deliver.

Tracks like "Minor Mood" and "Blues De L'Agneau" showcase the duo's musical chemistry, with each musician playing off the other in a beautiful dance of sound and rhythm. The album's closer, "Pedefo," is a real stand-out, with its infectious groove and lively energy leaving us wanting more.

Overall, BOOKER LITTLE's Booker Little 4 & Max Roach is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, offering a glimpse into the genius of two musical giants at the top of their game. So sit back, relax, and let the smooth sounds of Booker Little and Max Roach wash over you - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Booker Little 4 & Max Roach

BOOKER LITTLE: Jazz's Unsung Genius If you haven't heard of Booker Little, then my friend, you are sorely missing out on one of jazz's best-kept secrets. Little, who tragically passed away before his thirtieth birthday, left behind a legacy that continues to captivate and inspire listeners to this day. Born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1938, Little was a prodigious talent from a young age. His proficiency on the trumpet was nothing short of awe-inspiring, and it wasn't long before he caught the attention of the jazz world. Little's music is a unique blend of avant-garde experimentation and melodic beauty. His compositions are intricate and thought-provoking, yet somehow still accessible to even the most casual listener. It's this delicate balance that sets Little apart from his peers and cements his status as a true musical genius. Despite his undeniable talent, Little never achieved the same level of fame and recognition as some of his contemporaries. But as any true jazz aficionado will tell you, the mark of a great artist is not in their commercial success, but in the lasting impact of their music. So do yourself a favour and dig into the discography of Booker Little. Let his haunting melodies and virtuosic trumpet playing transport you to another world. And who knows, maybe you'll even discover your new favourite jazz artist along the way.
