Suddenly The Blues reveals that Leo Wright possessed equal doses of talent on both alto sax and flute, both of which assumed a fluid and assertive tone that commands the attention of the listener. In fact, he worked in a soulful sensibility and decectively complex technique not unlike Lou Donaldson’s, most notably on 'Sassy Lady'. His flute work on 'The Wiggler' is reminiscent of the “coolness” and quirkiness of Quincy Jones’ theme 'Soul Bossa Nova', most recently re-discovered on the soundtrack of Austin Powers 'The Spy Who Shagged Me'. This LP is interesting as well because it captures Ron Carter’s work just after he left Bobby Timmons’ group and before he joined Miles Davis’ most famous quintet, for which he’ll forever be known. Wright allows Carter to take several solos, including some low-end work on 'The Wiggler' that adorns the humorous theme of the tune with another perspective of music imitating human movement. Kenny Burrell, a friend of Leo’s, seems excessively restrained on some of the tracks, especially on 'A Felicidad', a bossa nova standard on which one would expect more of a guitar presence. However, Burrell does break loose on 'Gensel’s Message' with his unfailing taste, richness of tone and logic of harmonic ideas. The problem with Suddenly the Blues is that suddenly
click image to enlarge it's over, contemporary jazz enthusiasts being spoiled by the hour-long length of most CD’s currently filling the bins. Savoy, Concord, 32 Jazz and other labels solve the problem of the brevity of reissued vinyl recordings by editing two or more of them onto one CD. Perhaps other Leo Wright recordings are not available, but the disc seems foreshortened by comparison to the many other re-releases coming into the market. A record of incredible beauty from the great Leo Wright! He is one of those excellent players from the 60s who never really gets his due, largely because he was always hiding behind larger groups, and because he left the US in the decade for an extended stint in Europe. Still he cut some fantastic early work with both Dizzy Gillespie and Lalo Schifrin - and this album captures him right during the peak of that early period! The record features light lively backing from a quartet, and some tracks have a beautifully groovy sound that's slightly bossa, slightly soul jazz. One of the best of these is Wright's great cover of 'A Felicidad', but the record contains many other great moments, like 'The Wiggler', 'Tali", 'Sassy Lady' and 'Dionysos'.
