For his second
Reservoir
set, trumpeter
Valery Ponomarev
performs six of his originals, which are dedicated to different aspects of the Russian homeland from where he had emigrated 15 years earlier, as well as
Irving Berlin
's
"The Best Thing for You."
Despite the unfamiliar material (none of the trumpeter's tunes became
standards
), the music is mostly strictly
hard bop
, quite accessible and hard-swinging.
Ponomarev
is joined by the
John Coltrane
-inspired tenor saxophonist
Ralph Moore
, pianist
Larry Willis
, bassist
Dennis Irwin
, and drummer
Victor Jones
for this excellent outing. ~ Scott Yanow
