Dusko Goykovich Quartet - Ten To Two Blues (1971)

This album is a Spanish DiscMedi Blau reissue edition of the original Ensayo release in 1971. It is considered one of Tete Montoliu's hard-to-find Ensayo releases, that has been remastered, reissued and reprinted for the first time in a long time with the original vinyl jacket! If you are a Dusko or Tete fan, take this opportunity to acquire a copy! It has also been released "After Hours" on Enya Records. However, that release has incorrect labelling of some of the tracks and credits. Essentially, this album showcases the pinnacle of European hard bop, that is full of high-powered playing by all musicians with deep and emotive execution! Tete Montoliu joins with the magnificent Yugoslavian trumpet player Duško Gojković to produce this fine album. It was recorded as a result of a friendly meeting between the two. It includes three Gojković compositions, one an undisputed blues tune, two standards and a percussive, almost Monkian blues by Tete Montoliu. Recorded in Barcelona, in November 1971, at the height of both players extensive careers. Here, Dusko teams up with the Montoliu trio, comprising of bassist Robert Langereis and drummer Joey Nay. Together they deliver an exciting lesson in what jazz should sound like performing a rigorous repertoire of compositions. This release is noted for Gojković's popular song "Old Fisherman's Daughter", where Dusko's sharp trumpet, Tete's piano that weaves and twists around it, along with Rob's roaring bass and Joe's concise drumming is a memorable highlight, enjoy!
