A fine straightahead arranger-composer, Canadian
Phil Nimmons
has long had an underground reputation in the U.S., based on his memorable
"Atlantic Suite"
of 1975. This two-CD set from 1997 reissues that five-part work and the 17-minute "Suite P.E.I.," which was part of an obscure Candian sampler LP, and adds a full CD of previously unreleased material. The "Suite P.E.I.," a showcase for
Nimmons'
clarinet, utilizes a nonet, while the other pieces are played by big bands filled with notable Canadian jazzmen. Among the many soloists are trumpeters
Herbie Spanier
and
Mike Malone
, tenorman
Art Ellefson
, altoist
Dave Caldwell
and trombonist
Dave McMurdo
. Although the music is largely straight-ahead, it has its unpredictable moments filled with plenty of interesting surprises. Surprisingly,
has not recorded much since this period, so the welcome twofer is his definitive release. ~ Scott Yanow
