Cecil Payne - Payne's Window (1999)

Posted By: Designol

Date: 16 Oct 2022 19:30:37

Payne's Window offers further testament to unsung hero Cecil Payne's prowess on the baritone saxophone. Fronting a delightfully swinging sextet that includes pianist Harold Mabern and tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, Payne delivers a wonderful mixed bag of originals and standards. Window boasts a nonchalant attitude that allows the music to swing effortlessly. On Payne's humorous "James," Mabern improvises on what seems to be "Mary Had a Little Lamb" as Payne, Alexander, and trombonist Steve Davis punch in with swaggering riffs. Payne's impeccable rhythms are still intact, as on the Latin-tinged "Spiritus Parkus" and "Southside Samba," while tunes like "Lover Man" and "That's It Blues" are imbued with bluesy mellowness. Payne's Window is a no-frills record that rewards with each listening.

Review by John Murph

This release for the 76-year-old baritone saxophonist does not fare as well as Cerupa and Scotch & Milk, primarily because his tone is thin and edgier than his partners, trombonist Steve Davis and the wonderful tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander. However, this is still a pretty good CD with nearly 73 minutes of vibrant, swinging modern jazz from the aforementioned horn players and especially the ever brilliant pianist Harold Mabern. The first four cuts are Cecil Payne originals. "Spiritus Parkus" is a bopper with strident trombone, fluttery tenor, and Payne's dour accents. "Martin Luther King, Jr." is a poignant, regretful ballad replete with Mabern's regal piano, Payne's tart and sweet bari, and Davis' weeping trombone. "James" has a cute, child-like melody but swings pretty hard, while "That's It Blues" is slower and proof positive of Alexander's prowess in this style. Of the standards, "Lover Man" is Payne's feature, and when the other more in-tune horns lay out, he takes charge and commands attention. Payne sits back on Miles Davis' "Tune Up," playing the bridge but not much of the hard and fast melody. The Clifford Brown-associated "Delilah" has Payne on flute (which is slightly less biting than his bari), while Steve Davis wrote the title cut, which has a singsong melody and another definitive solo from Alexander. With the aforementioned crew, along with up-and-coming drummer Joe Farnsworth and bassist John Webber, Payne has all the support he needs. Perhaps his embouchure is wanting or he needs to tune up a little – he is tonally challenged and that may dissuade some from championing him – but more often than not, he's a successful team player, and that is evident in spades on this slightly off-putting but still enjoyable recording.
