Trumpeter John Swana leads his Philly Gumbo session under the name
"John Swana and the Philadelphians," a knowing reference to a 1958
album by Benny Golson. Fittingly, the record showcases a number of
excellent straight-ahead players who aren't widely known outside of
Philadelphia: tenor saxophonist Bootsie Barnes, pianist Sid
Simmons, bassist Mike Boone, and drummer Byron Landham. The mostly
original music is solidly within the hard bop tradition. Boone
contributes a fine piece called "Old Head" and collaborates with
Swana on the ballad "John Wayne," which is named for John Coltrane
and Wayne Shorter. Other highlights include the medium-fast "Up
Jumped Bootsie" (loosely based on Freddie Hubbard's "Up Jumped
Spring") and the rubato finale, "Tot Ziens," an out-of-character
trio feature for the leader on fl�gelhorn. Swana's frontline
rapport with Barnes is exceptional, and his horn is consistently
spry and insightful. ~ David R. Adler
