Morgenstern, Dan. [Record Review: Phil Woods: Greek Cooking] Down definitely the solo highlight of an album brimming with promise by eager soloists. -Siders BolaBOLA Sete SETE ----------- AT -THE MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL-Verve 8689: Manha de Carnaval; A Felicidade; Samba de Orfeu; Soul Samba; Fla- 11,ep;:S~nnel: Sete, guitar, lute; Sebastian Neto, bass; Paulinho, drums. Rating: * * * * Bola Sete got a standing ovation for his performance at last year's Monterey Jazz Festival, and this record contains some of the music that brought about the soul­ stirring demonstrations. In the relatively forthe 32nd Annual Down Beat Readers Poll small world of my record player, this album, and me, it becomes clear why Sete got to those thousands of serious-minded afficianados: his music is above all else dramatic, and very often unsubtly so. That's not meant as a completely deroga­ tory remark, no matter how it sounds, be­ cause I happen to like dramatic music. I do feel a draft, though, when drama is too obviously calculated, and I feel a draft from Sete here. This the-show's-the-thing is most blatant at the end of Soul (or Soft, as Sete pro­ nounces it) Samba and during the percus­ sion fireworks that take up most of Samba de Orfeu. I'm sure it was exciting to see; it's just that it's not so stirring to hear in small worlds. But there is an enormous amount of I good in Sete's playing. f, He creates a heart-wrenching poignancy in the ad lib section of Carnaval (on one note he gets a growl that is, so help me, an out-and-out human voice), and all his playing reveals a mastery of his instrument (at times he makes runs of such speed that they are reminiscent of Art Tatum's piano arpeggios). Sete plays with scorch­ ing heat and resilient rhythm, which makes his sometimes excessive bravura endurable. His stunning improvisations within Samba de Orfeu and Soul (Soft) Samba are Sete at the height of his powers. The most disappointing track is Flamen­ co, an unaccompanied guitar solo, which ALTO SAX VOCAL GROUP ORGAN Johnny Hodges Jackie & Roy Jimmy Smith seldom goes beyond what one would ex­ Blue Notes Lovesick Respect pect from the title (which is probably an V/V6-8680 V/V6-8688 V/V6-8705* unfair criticism).

    Discography of the Mainstream Label Mainstream was founded in 1964 by Bob Shad, and in its early history reissued material from Commodore Records and Time Records in addition to some new jazz material. The label released Big Brother & the Holding Company's first material in 1967, as well as The Amboy Dukes' first albums, whose guitarist, Ted Nugent, would become a successful solo artist in the 1970s. Shad died in 1985, and his daughter, Tamara Shad, licensed its back catalogue for reissues. In 1991 it was resurrected in order to reissue much of its holdings on compact disc, and in 1993, it was purchased by Sony subsidiary Legacy Records. 56000/6000 Series 56000 mono, S 6000 stereo - The Commodore Recordings 1939, 1944 - Billy Holiday [1964] Strange Fruit/She’s Funny That Way/Fine and Mellow/Embraceable You/I’ll Get By//Lover Come Back to Me/I Cover the Waterfront/Yesterdays/I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues/I’ll Be Seeing You 56001 mono, S 6001 stereo - Begin the Beguine - Eddie Heywood [1964] Begin the Beguine/Downtown Cafe Boogie/I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me/Carry Me Back to Old Virginny/Uptown Cafe Boogie/Love Me Or Leave Me/Lover Man/Save Your Sorrow 56002 mono, S 6002 stereo - Influence of Five - Hawkins, Young & Others [1964] Smack/My Ideal/Indiana/These Foolish Things/Memories Of You/I Got Rhythm/Way Down Yonder In New Orleans/Stardust/Sittin' In/Just A Riff 56003 mono, S 6003 stereo - Dixieland-New Orleans - Teagarden, Davison & Others [1964] That’s A- Plenty/Panama/Ugly Chile/Riverboat Shuffle/Royal Garden Blues/Clarinet

This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.
