RECORDINGS REPORTS: JAZZ Lps RECORDINGS REPORTS: JAZZ LPs PERSONNEL, DATA REPORT Leonard Feather: Encyclopedia of Jazz in This collection is a companion to Feather's latest book and part of a project intended to reveal the '60s, Vol. I: The Blues. Leonard Feather "the diversity of directions in which the jazz idiom has been moving during the Sixties." Oliver All-Stars; Jimmy Smith, organ; Wes Mont­ Nelson's arrangement of "St. Louis Blues" has something of the character of those Gil Evans did gomery, guitar; Grady Tate, drums; Count for Miles Davis, and it creates an autumnal backdrop for imaginative improvisation by Joe Newman Basie and his Orchestra; Johnny Hodges, on trumpet. There is an appropriate vehicle for Phil Woods's alto saxophone, and Newman appears alto saxophone; and Earl Hines, piano, in again in a dashing duel with Clark Terry on "John Brown's Blues." The material on the second quintet. Verve stereo, V6-8677, $5.79; mono, side, drawn from existing sessions, includes the Basie band playing a good arrangement by Eric V6-8677, $5.79. Dixon, the Montgomery-Smith trio performing in an excitingly predictable fashion, and Hines and Hodges collaborating like the masters they are in "C Jam Blues." Erroll Garner: That's My Kick,. Garner, The rhythmic strength of Garner's left hand is such that the addition of bongos and guitar to his piano; Wally Richardson or Art Ryerson, trio verges on the superfluous. Fortunately, they do not get in the way very much, and the set guitar; Herbie Lovelle or George Jenkins, proceeds with all his customary joie de vivre. "The introductions are as madly tantalizing as ever, drums; Jose Mangual or Johnny Pacheco, and this time more than half the tunes are originals, among them being a pretty "Nervous Waltz" bongos. MGM stereo, SE-4463, $4.79; mono, and an intense "Afinidad." E-4463, $4.79. Oliver Nelson: The Kennedy Dream.

Cooking (Impulse 9143), where he is supported by musicians playing such instruments as the bouzoukie, the oud, the dumbeg, and the accordion. They suggest that rock 'n' roll was perhaps of Hellenic origin after all! The Panasste Sessions: Tommy Ladnier, The sessions recorded in 1938 by the French critic, Hugues Panassie, were greatly responsible for trumpet, with sextet; Mezz Mezzrow, clari­ the subsequent "New Orleans Revival." They also brought Ladnier, a great trumpet player, back net and tenor saxophone, with sextet; into the limelight momentarily, just a few months before he died. His inspiration, like Mezzrow's Frankie Newton, trumpet, with sextet. and Panassie's, was King Oliver and the Creole Jazz Band. Their joint intentions are best realized RCA-Victor LPV-542, mono only, $4.79. on "Revolutionary Blues" and "Comin' On with the Come On," where Sidney De Paris is the second Mezz Mezzrow: Mezz Mezzrow a la Schola trumpet.

On the whole, and understandably, the older songs $4.79. from the period when both were with Basic come off best. Clark Terry makes typical contributions, and Hank Jones displays the same elegant taste oa organ that we are accustomed to in his piano playing. Sarah Vaughan: Sassy Swings Again.

Elsewhere, the importance of swinging is forgotten as Miss Vaughan displays 61116, $4.79; mono, MG 21116, $4.79. her celebrated vocal virtuosity and indulges in theatrical climaxes and contrasts. Some over-busy arrangements on the second side don't help either. Junior Wells: It's My Life, Baby! Wells, Wells has a good feeling for tempos and is convincing as singer and harmonicist. His first tentative harmonica and vocal; Buddy Guy, Walter chorus of the instrumental, "Slow, Slow," is extraordinarily evocative.

James Cotton, who formerly sang and mono, VRS-9231, $4.79. played harmonica with Muddy Waters, appears in a similar role on Verve Folkways FTS-3023, but here the tempos are less fitting and the addition of trumpet, trombones, and saxophones is a liability rather than an asset. Gerald Wilson: Live and Swinging. Wilson, Like Wilson's six previous Pacific Jazz albums, this is heavy on brass, which the live recording arranger and conductor, with eighteen-piece doesn't always do total justice. As a result of several personnel changes, Charles Tolliver (trumpet) band. Pacific Jazz stereo, ST 20118, $5.79; and Hadley Caliman (tenor saxophone) debut in the former's "Paper Man" and then return in mono, PJ-10118, $5.79. a rearrangement of Wilson's "Viva Tirado." The most exciting newcomer, however, is drummer Carl Lott, who adds a great deal of fire to the performances, particularly to that of "The 'It's' Where It's At." Neal Hefti's "Li'l Darlin'," usually a trumpet showca.se, in this instance features some adroit organ playing by Jack Wilson. —STANLEY DANCE. 48 SR/July 15, 1967 PRODUCED 2005 BY UNZ.ORG ELECTRONIC REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED MOSTLY MODERNISTS bard, a quartet on the other.

We’d like to think that in a highly partisan modern world, we actually live up to the credo: “We New York@Night Report, You Decide”.

BAKER NEA Jazz Master (2000) Interviewee: David Baker (December 21, 1931 – March 26, 2016) Interviewer: Lida Baker with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: June 19, 20, and 21, 2000 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, 163 pp. Lida: This is Monday morning, June 19th, 2000. This is tape number one of the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Project interview with David Baker. The interview is being conducted in Bloomington, Indiana, [in] Mr. Baker’s home. Let’s start with when and where you were born. David: [I was] born in Indianapolis, December 21st, 1931, on the east side, where I spent almost all my – when I lived in Indianapolis, most of my childhood life on the east side. I was born in 24th and Arsenal, which is near Douglas Park and near where many of the jazz musicians lived. The Montgomerys lived on that side of town. Freddie Hubbard, much later, on that side of town. And Russell Webster, who would be a local celebrity and wonderful player. [He] used to be a babysitter for us, even though he was not that much older. Gene Fowlkes also lived in that same block on 24th and Arsenal. Then we moved to various other places on the east side of Indianapolis, almost always never more than a block or two blocks away from where we had just moved, simply because families pretty much stayed on the same side of town; and if they moved, it was maybe to a larger place, or because the rent was more exorbitant, or something.

Both student and professional clarinetists require a rich sound and comfortable playability. These qualities were combined with the high level of consistency that only Yamaha can provide, allowing clarinetists to demand a higher standard than ever before. • Redesigned keys offer comfortable, ergonomic hand placement. In addition, the new keys have thicker silver-plating for a dark and resonant sound quality. • Durable leather pads ensure a precise seal between pad and tone hole for ease of response throughout the entire range of the clarinet. • A new Custom barrel design provides the CSVR with a well-balanced response and rich, warm tonal colors that will elevate the progressing clarinetist’s playing.

  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).
