Joining them is Harold's former double-time during the solos. Harold also pays tribute to two of his contemporaries on the piano, doing McCoy Tyner's boppish "Inner Glimpse" with the two-horn quintet and essaying Bobby Timmons' "Dat Dere" as a solo tour-de-force stroll through jazz history. Nat gets to step out front playing the lead on Miles Davis' "So What," the last quintet track, highlighted by a sparklingly animated trumpet solo from Freddie. Harold reshuffles the order of a familiar standard, Cole Porter's "I Get a Kick Out of You," keeping everyone on their toes by fol- lowing the verse with the bridge before introducing the familiar chorus strains. Happiness!, Benny Green (Sunnyside), is a trio date recorded live one night in June 2016 at Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, Calif. Benny is joined by bassist David Wong and drummer Rodney Green. The repertoire is firmly rooted in the hard bop era with tunes from six of that period's leading lights. Rounding out the eight tracks is Benny's own "Pittsburgh Brethren," his hard bop blues with a bridge notable for a piano solo build- ing increasingly intricate right-hand lines with plenteous left-hand commentary, and for a solo from Rodney that becomes an inventive trading of breaks and fours with Benny. Pianist Cedar Walton is the only com- poser with two titles on the CD. Benny romps through "Martha's Prize," a tricky line with stop-times and two-bar flights continued on page 29 4 Green cover photo by RR Jones, Mabern Jimmy Katz. 183722_HH_Aug_0 7/24/17 8:56 AM Page 5 5 183722_HH_Aug_0 7/24/17 8:56 AM Page 6 6 183722_HH_Aug_0 7/24/17 8:56 AM Page 7 7 183722_HH_Aug_0 7/24/17 8:56 AM Page 8 8 183722_HH_Aug_0 7/24/17 8:56 AM Page 9 9 183722_HH_Aug_0 7/24/17 8:56 AM Page 10 10 183722_HH_Aug_0 7/24/17 8:56 AM Page 11 Sign-up for our E-ALERT at www.hothousejazz.com and be the 1st to know when the latest Hot House is available on line PUBLISHER/MANAGING EDITOR: For advertising requests and Gwen Kelley (formerly Calvier) listing info contact Gwen Kelley [email protected] Toll Free Phone: COPY EDITOR: Yvonne Ervin 888-899-8007/[email protected] [email protected] Hot House Jazz Magazine is published monthly and all PRODUCTION & ART DIRECTOR: copyrights are the property of Gwen Kelley.

Little's untimely death, and still yet extensive recording career,1 presents yet another example of early passing among innovative and influential trumpeters. Like Clifford Brown before him, Theodore “Fats” Navarro before him, Little's death left a gap the in jazz world as both a sophisticated technician and an inspiring composer. However, unlike his predecessors Little is hardly – if ever – mentioned in jazz texts and classrooms. His influence is all but non-existent except to those who have researched his work. More than likely he is the victim of too early a death: Brown passed away at twenty-five and Navarro, twenty-six. Bob Cranshaw, who is present on Little's first recording,2 remarks, “Nobody got a chance to really experience [him]...very few remember him because nobody got a chance to really hear him or see him.”3 Given this, and his later work with more avant-garde and dissonant harmonic/melodic structure as a writing partner with Eric Dolphy, it is no wonder that his remembered career has followed more the path of James P.

    December 1, 2020 For Immediate Release Listen to Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger Cover The Stylistics’ “You Make Me Feel Brand New” From New Album, Force Majeure, Out This Friday on International Anthem ​ ​ (Photo by Deneka Peniston) "Compiled from a soul-affirming livestream series that they shared from their Harlem apartment, [Force Majeure is] a portrait of resilience, solidarity and reassurance.” — WBGO ​ ​ ​ “Modal jazz classics by Pharoah Sanders and the Coltranes rub shoulders with heavenly, harmonically rich readings of soul standards such as You Make Me Feel Brand New by the Stylistics and Clifton Davis’s Never Can Say Goodbye, with Younger lurching from modal flourishes to the more chromatic, bop-influenced improvisations of Dorothy Ashby.” — The ​ Guardian (“Contemporary Album of the Month,” 4 stars) “Building on their weekly livestream and recorded in their living room with a single microphone, Force Majeure finds the duo swimming freely between the great canon of jazz compositions and familiar, contemporary popular songs.” — Bandcamp (“Album of the Day”) ​ Bassist Dezron Douglas and harpist Brandee Younger will release their debut album as a ​ ​ ​ ​ duo, Force Majeure, this Friday on International Anthem. Today, they present new single, ​ ​ ​ ​ “You Make Me Feel Brand New,” a cover of The Stylistics’ classic, written by Thom Bell and ​ ​ ​ Linda Creed. It follows previous singles, the pair’s “warm and inviting” (Stereogum) cover of ​ ​ Pharoah Sanders & Leon Thomas’ “The Creator Has A Master Plan,” and “Sing,” which was ​ ​ originally written by Joe Raposo for Sesame Street. ​ ​ Douglas & Younger’s rendition of “You Make Me Feel Brand New” opens with light, magnetic flutters from Younger’s harp and strolling plucks on Douglas’ bass.
