Groovin' Higher
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Conte Candoli's trumpet has always possessed a singing quality—warm, articulate, and perfectly poised between swing and bebop sophistication. This 1982 session with his quintet captures him in excellent form, working through a program that respects the jazz tradition while keeping things fresh and conversational. The lineup swings comfortably through standards like "My Old Flame" and "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" alongside originals that give everyone room to stretch; Candoli's tone remains luminous even in faster passages, never sacrificing clarity for flash. There's an unpretentious musicality here that feels characteristic of West Coast bebop at its best—players listening intently to one another, building solos that complement rather than compete. The Affinity label, known for capturing the best of British and American jazz throughout this period, provides a fitting home for what amounts to a satisfying document of players at ease with their craft.
