DON ELLIS: ESSENCE (1962), PACIFIC JAZZ PJ-55, U.S.A, 33 1/3, LP, MONO
"The rarest of all Don Ellis sessions, 'Essence' matches the trumpeter with pianist Paul Bley, bassist Gary Peacock, and either Nick Martinis or Gene Stone on drums. Ellis, who sought during this period to transfer ideas and concepts from modern classical music into adventurous jazz, often experimented with time, tempos and the use of space while still swinging. His renditions of Billy Strayhorn's "Johnny Come Lately," "Angel Eyes" and "Lover" are quite fresh, he contributes four interesting originals and introduces Carla Bley's "Wrong Key Donkey" (here simply called "Donkey"). This is thought-provoking music..." (AllMusic review - 4 stars).
"Essence is a startling album not only in execution but also in the more perfect insight it gives us into Ellis' developing individuality. The album opens with an up-tempo romp through "Johnny Come Lately" and ends with any equally brisk run through "Lover". In between are several free-form explorations that often dispense with timekeeping of a traditional nature. Pianist Paul Bley is in excellent form as he counters Ellis' sweeping statements with his own dense and chordal assertions." (Allaboutjazz.com)
Tracks: Johnny Come Lately / Slow Space / Ostinato / Donkey / Form / Angel Eyes / Irony / Lover.
