Sangoma Everett & Lionel Martin – Revisiting Afrique of Count Basie & Oliver Nelson Pascal Anquetil Crédit photo : Bertrand Gaudillère / Item La métamorphose d’un big band en duo « Ce duo, c’est l’histoire d’une rencontre du troisième type » écrit avec pertinence Jacques Denis dans son texte de pochette. Cinquante ans après son enregistrement par le grand orchestre de Count Basie, Lionel Martin et Sangoma Everett se sont lancé le défi de revisiter en tandem Afrique. Ce superbe album, trop méconnu, produit en 1970 par Bob Thiele, est basé sur un répertoire original écrit spécialement par Oliver Nelson. Bien que de génération et origine différentes, Lionel Martin, saxophoniste volcanique au gros son charnu, au vibrato enfiévré et aux phrases grasses et épaisses, incandescentes comme de la lave, et Sangoma Everett, batteur souple et élégant qui connaît sur le bout de ses baguettes toutes les subtilités des rythmes du monde, ont tenté et réussi avec ce disque une mission impossible : faire sonner leur duo comme un big band et transformer leur joute joyeuse en une conversation interactive, captivante de bout en bout. Ce que Lionel Martin, initiateur du projet, aime d’abord dans l’album de Basie, « c’est au fond une certaine simplicité, un rapport à la ligne de basse très simple et répétitive avec des thèmes très puissants. » Résultat : la réussite principale des deux amis est d’avoir su transmuer le swing “basique” en groove grondant et entrainant ; à savoir une certaine manière organique de faire pulser la musique en un roulis polyrythmique irrésistible. Cela crève les oreilles : les deux complices tout au long de leur dialogue vif et chaud s’entendent bien et savent s’écouter pour élaborer ensemble une architecture sonore singulière et enfanter librement une musique entêtante, fertilisée à l’humus du blues et aiguillonnée par l’appel du gospel. L’écoute de ce disque donne l’envie de vite découvrir le duo sur scène, seul espace où la musique se vit dans sa part de chance et de risque. Acheter le disque ici..

Download the Tenor Saxophone of Buddy Tate
1 The TENORSAX of GEORGE HOLMES TATE “BUDDY” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Jan. 4, 2020 2 Born: Sherman, Texas, Feb. 22, 1914 Died: Chandler, Arizona, Feb. 10, 2001 Introduction: We became familiar with Buddy Tate very early through his recordings with Count Basie. I met him once, many years ago, at the Molde International Jazz Festival. He was a very kind man, and when he realized I was doing some useful work on ja zz tenor saxophone, he invited me to his hotel room for whisky. We had a very nice time together in the light summer night of Norway! Early history: His brother, a saxophonist, gave Buddy an alto in 1925. Two years later began gigging with McCloud's Night Owls (led by his cousin, trumpeter Roy McCloud). In 1929 played for several months in Wichita Falls with the St. Louis Merrymakers, later that year joined Troy Floyd's Band in San Antonio. Briefly with Gene Coy's Band, then with Terrence Holder's 12 Clouds of Joy from 1930-33. Worked with E. J. Malone and his Rhythm Kings (early 1933), Wesley Smiths' Band, ‘Tan Town Topics’, and Ethel May's Band before joining Count Basie in Little Rock, Arkansas (ca. July 1934). From late 1934 until early summer 1935 with Andy Kirk, played with band at Wiley College, Texas, then long spell with Nat Towles until joining Count Basie in spring 1939. Remained with Basie until September 1948, brief return in early 1949, then for the rest of that year worked mostly with Hot Lips Page, occasionally with Lucky Millinder.
