Kenny Drew's "Undercurrent" is one of those classic Blue Note albums that most people have never heard of. Originally released on CD domestically in 1987, it was deleted in the early 90s and has only been seen since briefly in a limited edition reprint program or as an expensive import. Thankfully with this RVG Series reissue an almost forgotten classic has returned. Pianist Kenny Drew made invaluable contributions to many Blue Note classics -- Blue Train and Dexter Calling... to name two -- in addition to this fine album as a leader. "Undercurrent" is a magnificent hard bop session from December 11, 1960 featuring the talents of Freddie Hubbard, Hank Mobley, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes. The six compositions, all by Drew, are terrific medium and up-tempo swingers, with the exception of the lovely concluding piece, "Ballade." "Undercurrent" is as good as anything Blue Note recorded in 1960, and should really be picked up now that it is available at a reasonable price
