Ed Thigpen's 1989 studio date, Young Men & Olds, released on the esteemed Dutch label Timeless Records, is a brilliant and beautifully realized cross-generational acoustic jazz summit. Best known as the immaculate rhythm machine behind the legendary Oscar Peterson Trio, master drummer Thigpen steps confidently into the leader's spot to assemble a powerhouse lineup that bridges the gap between seasoned jazz royalty and the fierce, emerging "Young Lions" of the late-1980s. The generational dialogue is spectacular: the "old heads" are represented by piano giants Sir Roland Hanna and Ronnie Mathews, alongside rock-solid bassist Rufus Reid, while the "young men" are headlined by the burning New Orleans front line of trumpeter Terence Blanchard and tenor saxophonist Branford Marsalis, with multi-reedist Bill Easley and percussionist Bobby Thomas rounding out the ensemble. Navigating a pristine setlist that balances swinging re-imaginings of standard literature like Strike Up The Band and Night And Day with deep, propulsive blues forms like Shufflin' Long, the group radiates an infectious energy. Driven by Thigpen's textbook brush work and crisp cymbal pulse, this exceptional recording stands as a masterclass in the timeless art of straight-ahead post-bop interplay.
