  • Comin' Home Baby Tributo a Herbie Mann
    Comin’ Home Baby Tributo a Herbie Mann Geoff Warren Quartet Geoff Warren – Flauti Raffaele Pallozzi – Tastiere Marco Di Marzio – Basso Bruno Marcozzi – Batteria e percussioni Herbie Mann – Flautista Jazz e Pioniere della World Music. Il mondo, secondo il flautista e compositore Herbie Mann, è un paradiso musicale utopico in cui il jazz è composto da musica afro-cubana, mediorientale, R & B e quasi ogni altra genere di musica. Herbert Jay Soloman, meglio conosciuto come Herbie Mann, fu tra i primi musicisti jazz a specializzarsi nel flauto e fu forse il più famoso flautista della musica jazz negli anni '60. Quando iniziò a suonare il flauto negli anni '40, non aveva modelli da cui imparare, nessun pioniere del flauto jazz da idolatrare. Così fu costretto a guardare altrove, sia dentro che fuori dal jazz, per sviluppare il suo approccio jazz al flauto. Tra le numerose influenze musicali, Mann è stato particolarmente attratto dai ritmi e dalle melodie del Sud America e dei Caraibi, ed è stato uno dei primi pionieri nella fusione tra Jazz e World-Music. Nel 1961 Mann fece un tour in Brasile e tornò negli Stati Uniti per registrare con musicisti brasiliani tra cui Baden Powell e Antonio Carlos Jobim. Questi album hanno contribuito a diffondere la bossa nova. Successivamente Mann è passato al soul jazz e negli anni '70 ha registrato album reggae, funk e disco. Ha descritto il suo approccio alla ricerca del groove così: "Tutto quello che devi fare è trovare le onde comode per galleggiarci sopra". Quindici anni dopo la prematura scomparsa di questo artista significativo, questo tributo spera di offrire qualcosa della varietà, vitalità e puro amore del jazz aperto al mondo, che ha caratterizzato il grande Herbie Mann.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.
