Art Taylor - Hi-Fly (1991).

Drummer Art Taylor, who spent many years in Europe, re-emerged as an important bandleader with this Enja CD. Taylor's group (called "Taylor's Wailers") features four Young Lions: the fine tenor Willie Williams, altoist Abraham Burton (most heavily influenced by his teacher Jackie McLean), pianist Marc Cary and bassist Tyler Mitchell, in addition to the drummer/leader. On a variety of tunes from the 1950s and '60s (highlighted by "Hi-Fly," "Soul Eyes" and "Gingerbread Boy") the musicians play some high-quality modern hard bop. Enjoyable music...(Review by Scott Yanow; AllMusic) ___________________________________________ "Hi-Fly" (also sometimes spelled "Hi Fly" or "High Fly") is one of the best known compositions by pianist Randy Weston, written in the 1950s and inspired by his experience of being 6 feet 8 inches tall, "and how the ground looks different to you than everybody else". Since first being recorded on 1958's New Faces at Newport, "Hi-Fly" appears on several other albums by Weston, including Live at the Five Spot (1959), Niles Littlebig (1969), Tanjah (1973), Perspective (with Vishnu Wood, 1976), Rhythms and Sounds (1978), Earth Birth (1995), Zep Tepi (2005), and The Storyteller (2009). Jon Hendricks wrote lyrics to the song, recorded first in 1959 on the album The Hottest New Group in Jazz and also appearing on 1961's High Flying With Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. Among others who have recorded vocal covers are Abbey Lincoln (on The World Is Falling Down, 1991), Mel Torme (on 1962's Comin' Home Baby! and other albums), Karin Krog on (Hi-Fly with Archie Shepp) and Sarah Vaughan (In the City of Lights, 1999). ___________________________________________ Art Taylor - Mr. A.T.
