But he was a superb arranger, an unprofitable yet highly important function when it comes to such workshops. And though Manny Albam also played the baritone sax, his real instrument was the pen. He arranged not only jazz, but also film music and musi- catalogue # 1161 cals. His arrangements were multi-facetted and tailormade to suit the accomplishments of the individual instrumentalists. set contents For this particular Jazz Workshop, the record company RCA-Victor could afford the ser- 1 LP / standard sleeve vices of excellent session musicians: Joe Newman and Freddie Green came from the pricecode Basie Band, Al Cohn, Bernie Glow, and Nick Travis from the Woody Herman Band, and SC01 the studio musicians Dick Katz, Buddy Jones and Osie Johnson were present at all times release date of day and night anyway. July 2017 As long as you don't expect fierce battles between five tenors, or six tweeters on the barcode trumpet, then you will enjoy this LP with its swinging, relaxed improvisations on such works as Rosetta, Linger Awhile, and I'm Coming Virginia - and you will realise that Lester Young’s sound has been heard, cultivated and further developed by these musicians. '!2G00BJ-hbfdjf! Four trumpets, a tenor sax, and then a piano, guitar, bass and drums into the bargain - original recording that’s certainly no common ensemble, but it certainly is a good reason to purchase this May 1955 in Webster Hall, New York City, LP. And for certain, this album has been missing in your collection to this day. in mono original production Jack Lewis Al Cohn war solistisch nicht ein so einfallsreicher Tenorist wie sein Kollege Zoot Sims. ratings (max. 5 stars) Aber ein super Arrangeur, eine zwar brotlose aber wichtige Aufgabe bei solchen Work- AllMusic: 4 shops. Manny Albam spielte zwar auch das Bariton-Sax, aber sein eigentliches Instru- ment war der Bleistift. Mit dem schrieb er neben Jazz- auch Film- und Musical Show-Ar- rangements. Und zwar sehr facettenreich und abgestimmt auf die jeweiligen Fähigkei- ten der Instrumentalisten. Für diesen Jazz Workshop konnte die Plattenfirma RCA-Victor es sich leisten, ausge- zeichnete Session-Musiker ins Studio zu bitten: aus der Basie Band kamen Joe Newman, Freddie Green, aus der Woody Herman Band Al Cohn, Bernie Glow, Nick Travis und die Studio-Musiker Dick Katz, Buddy Jones und Osie Johnson saßen dort sowieso Tage und Nächte lang. Wenn man keine heißen battles von fünf Tenoristen, keine sechs Hochtöner auf der Trompete erwartet, wird man bei dieser LP hinreichend entschädigt mit swingendem, entspannten Improvisationen über Basics wie Rosetta, Linger Awhile, I’m Coming Virgi- nia – und weiß, dass der Ton Lester Youngs von diesen Musikern gehört, gepflegt und weiterentwickelt wurde. Vier Trompeten, ein Tenorsax, dazu Piano, Gitarre, Bass und Schlagzeug sind sicher keine alltägliche Besetzung; auch das ist ein Grund, die LP zu kaufen. Im Regal fehlte Ihnen die Platte bisher sicher! WWW.SPEAKERSCORNERRECORDS.COM | [email protected].
