MacPherson, Fraser
Jazz Prose
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1985 Original Featuring Ed Bickert, Jake Hanna, Dave McKenna And Steve Wallace. 4 1/2 Stars! “The Reason That This Recording By Cool-Toned Tenor Saxophonist Fraser MacPherson Gets A Slight Edge Over His Others Is That Pianist Dave McKenna Is On The Date, And He Really Pushes The Mellow Tenor. "On A Slow Boat To China" Is A Rare Macpherson Cooker, And "It Could Happen To You" And "There Is No Greater Love" Move Too. Recorded Live At The 1984 Concord Jazz Festival, This Well-Rounded Set Also Has Ballad Features For MacPherson ("Darn That Dream"), Guitarist Ed Bickert (Jimmy Giuffre's Obscure "Happy Man"), And Mckenna ("I'll Never Be The Same"); Bassist Steve Wallace And Drummer Jake Hanna Complete The Excellent Quintet. Easily Recommended To Mainstream Jazz Collectors.” Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.
