A band that had long dispensed with a permanent saxophonist and perfected the trumpet-trombone lead, keeping the cauldron on the boil.
Shaw’s trumpet style made use of the interval of a fourth, inspired by the John Coltrane Quartet with McCoy Tyner, and together with his use of the pentatonic scale set him apart from other trumpet players of the time. These aspects of his approach to the trumpet can be heard on Time Is Right Woody Shaw Quintet. All four selections on this album — ‘From Moment to Moment’, ‘Time Is Right’, ‘You and the Night and the Music’ and ‘We’ll Be Together Again’ — draw much strength from the simple fact that this was a regular working band. The music clearly benefits from everyone having grown together musically since 1979, evidenced by the coherence and internal vitality in their playing on, for example, ‘From Moment to Moment’.The quintet creates the perfect context for Shaw, whose style fits the well constructed arrangement perfectly. There is harmonic adventure here and shades of Coltrane’s intervallic methodology, but absorbed into a broader framework of an approach to improvisation that could be lyrical yet edgy, with quirky phrases to keep the listener on their toes. It’s doubtful if Shaw played better than he did with this quintet, which he inexplicably disbanded in 1983.
