2022 repress. ESP-Disk present a vinyl reissue of
Henry Grimes Trio
's
The Call
, originally released in 1966. It has occasionally been assumed that
Henry Grimes
got this December 28, 1965 recording date as a reward for his long service in the avant-garde of jazz. Having already honed his musical conception with a varied range of players, from
Benny Goodman
and
Arnett Cobb
to
Lee Morgan
,
Gerry Mulligan
, and
Sonny Rollins
to
McCoy Tyner
,
Steve Lacy
,
Albert Ayler
-- including
Spirits Rejoice
(ESPDISK 1020CD/LP)--,
Don Cherry
, and
Cecil Taylor
(to name just a few), the service was certainly there, but he got this gig fully on his merits. For
The Call
, Grimes teamed with highly original clarinetist
Perry Robinson
(as label owner
Bernard Stollman
has noted, "
a virtuoso who merits far wider recognition...and this recording reflects both of their contributions, in equal measure
") and stalwart drummer/ESP-Disk' regular
Tom Price
. As a bassist, Grimes's melodic style is well up to the task of being co-equal voice with a horn, resulting in a thoughtful and texturally rewarding LP with a level of quality far above the rote sideman session cliché, and far away from equally clichéd ideas of unrelentingly full-bore free jazz. It offers the sound of three excellent musicians listening to each other and responding superbly. The Juilliard-trained Grimes appeared on six other ESP LPs besides those already mentioned. He retired at some point after the last of them, 1967's Marzette Watts LP, and went so far off the scene that it was rumored that he had died. Happily, that was not the case, and he reemerged in 2003, moved back to New York, and returned to his prolific ways until illness slowed him down and then took him from us earlier this year (2020). Standard weight vinyl featuring original artwork.
