Night Song (Arthur Blythe album)

Night Song is an album by the saxophonist Arthur Blythe, released via Clarity Recordings in 1997.

[1] In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated: "This is a particularly intriguing and enjoyable release ...

Whether it be hints at New Orleans parade rhythms, Afro-Cuban jazz, older styles of jazz, or freer explorations, this is a fascinating set that is well worth several listens".

[2] In JazzTimes, Miles Jordan wrote: "This challenging CD finds Blythe doing most of the soloing with Stewart’s ebullient tuba primarily functioning as a walking bass.

... On the tunes that feature the percussionists-all playing hand drums-his marimbas definitely imbue them with a 'world music' feeling".
