WOODY SHAW QUINTET: SUPERB by Eric Myers ______The Woody Shaw Quintet the St James, 80 Castlereagh Street, Sydney Sydney Morning Herald, January 21, 1981 ______ WOODY SHAW QUINTET: SUPERB by Eric Myers _____________________________________________________________ The Woody Shaw Quintet The St James, 80 Castlereagh Street, Sydney Sydney Morning Herald, January 21, 1981 _______________________________________________________________ ith the visit of the Woody Shaw Quintet, the jazz activist Greg Quigley has once again enabled Sydney to hear an outstanding W African-American group which is at the apex of the art form. At The St James on Monday night, Woody Shaw sounded very much like the complete modern jazz trumpeter, with a gorgeous tone on the instrument, a willingness to use vibrato, an incisive technique when he chose to use it, and a consummate ability to produce stunning improvised lines. Woody Shaw: sounding very much like the complete modern jazz trumpeter…PHOTO CREDIT TOM COPI Now that Miles Davis is inactive, and Freddie Hubbard has been largely lost in the mire of jazz/rock fusion, Mr Shaw is virtually the supreme trumpeter in the mainstream of contemporary jazz. Other than the leader on trumpet and 1 flugelhorn, the Quintet included Steve Turre (tenor and bass trombone), Mulgrew Miller (piano), Stafford James (bass) and Tony Reedus (drums). The opening number was Bye Bye Blackbird, stated by Mr Shaw with the harmon mute, after Miles Davis. From that first moment, this superb quintet played modern jazz as many of us believe it should sound. The rhythm section, based largely on the warm sound of Stafford James, swung freely, loosely and gently, conspicuously aware of dynamics down to the softest whisper, and capable of the tiniest subtleties. With their version of the lovely old trumpet classic I Can't Get Started, and a bright, boppish treatment of the Cole Porter standard What Is This Thing Called Love? the quintet showed that they were interested in redefining past jazz vocabulary as well as performing contemporary original works. The Woody Shaw Quintet played two long sets, ending around 1.30 am. Mulgrew Miller: a beautiful treatment of the tune You're Blasé… In an evening which saw the brilliance of each player highlighted, I would draw particular attention to Mulgrew Miller's beautiful treatment of the tune You're Blasé, where he demonstrated a virtuosic knowledge of the art of solo jazz piano. The dignified bearing of the quintet members was remarkable. To acknowledge applause, Mr Shaw cradles the trumpet horizontally and bows reverently, somewhat in the manner of the great tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon. The Woody Shaw Quintet will be playing a late program at The St James tonight, after the performance of the John Scofield Trio, and will be the star attraction again on Saturday night at the same venue. 2 .

    P LAYING “O UTSIDE” C HAPTER E IGHT Playing “Outside” ========& = Q Sequences Q Playing a Half Step Away Q Playing a Tritone Away Q Playing Scales to Get Outside Q Some Piano Stuff Q The Chromatic Scale Q Be Brave, Go Ahead and Play Outside ne reason that musicians such as Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, McCoy Tyner, Bobby Hutcherson, David Liebman, and Mulgrew Miller are greatly admired is that Othey not only have mastered the art of playing changes, but also know how to play “outside” the changes. Playing “outside” on chord changes can mean several different things, including playing notes that aren’t in the chord, stretching the length of one chord into another, or playing something recognizable but in a different key. It can also mean playing “free,” or atonal, with no chord structure at all. Musicians such as Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor fall into this category, and their music is “outside” the scope of this book. Bear in mind that what’s considered outside is subjective and changeable. What you hear as “outside” someone else will hear as “inside,” and vice versa. Bird was considered “out” by many musicians in the 1940s, as was Coltrane in the 1960s. Quite a few musicians still hear Coltrane’s last few recordings as being “out.” Cecil Taylor has been recording for about 40 years, and is still considered “out” by many musicians. 183 C HAPTER E IGHT Many of the best examples of “outside” playing are really bitonality, or two tonalities at the same time.1 The pianist or guitarist may be ‘comping in one key, while the soloist goes outside and plays in another.
