Rhoda Scott & Kenny Clarke

Jazz In Paris

Review:
One of the best albums ever cut by American expatriot female organist Rhoda Scott, and a tight batch of organ/drums duets with fellow expatriot Kenny Clarke. Rhoda’s got a beautiful style here that’s sort of a mix of Larry Young’s far reaching chord approach, mixed with Charles Earland’s soulfulness, and a bit of Jack McDuff’s early bluesy touch. She dominates the whole scene, with no other soloists, and handles the task beautifully. The LP includes some nice originals — like “Bitter-Street” and “Toe Jam” — plus a handful of groovy standards like “Out Of Nowhere”, “On Green Dolphin Street”, and “Speak Low”.
