WOODY SHAW ~ LOTUS FLOWER ENJA 4018 ~ USA ~ Jazz AMG Review: This CD features one of trumpeter Woody ShawFind albums by this artist´s finest groups, a quintet with trombonist Steve TurreFind albums by this artist, pianist Mulgrew MillerFind albums by this artist, bassist Stafford JamesFind albums by this artist, and drummer Tony ReedusFind albums by this artist. The five-song program has an original apiece by each of the musicians (other than Reedus) with two by the leader. Shaw was one of the great trumpeters of all time, as he shows on such advanced yet swinging numbers as "Eastern Joy Dance," "Rahsaan´s Run," and "Song of Songs." Virtually every Woody Shaw recording is well worth acquiring, including this one.
