Another HOT Release from WHOA!
Welcome to Jazz Express. If youÆve been here before youÆll
know this is the place where the music is just where youÆre
at. If youÆre new, good to see you, youÆll love it. This
time round? Ok, so the sunÆs gone in and the days arenÆt so
long. But look at those leaves turning to beautiful gold,
take a breath of that autumn air and check out our fabulous
Autumn Moods selection. See, thereÆs an upside to
everything.
What a mellow place ôArabiaö sounds in the hands of master
trombonist Curtis Fuller. Just two chords up and down, but
when his fellow players get to work with it -include Benny
Golson (tenor sax), Lee Morgan (trumpet) and Wynton Kelly
(piano) - thereÆs a wealth of swinging detail too.
Hard to believe the George Gershwin wrote ôIt AinÆt
Necessarily Soö for his folk-opera in 1934 when you hear
young Jamie Cullum taking the funky route with it in 2002.
Not sure why he changes ôwhenever itÆs possÆpleö (rhymes
with ôgospelö, see) to ôwhenever IÆm ableö, but I guess the
Sinatra In Sneakers has his reasons. This is the one where
he hits the top of his piano like heÆs playing the drums,
isnÆt it? ThatÆs gotta hurt.
Some blue chip hard boppers from 1956 on Blues Number Two.
The leader is Hank Mobley (tenor sax) but among his
estimable cohorts are Donald Byrd (trumpet) and Barry Harris
(piano). Sure itÆs just a blues, but check out the extra
chord changes when they lay the tune on you, before and
after the made-up stuff.
That bruising, expressive tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin is
the leader on this 1960 interpretation of ôAutumn Leavesö,
but Richard Williams on muted trumpet makes an equally
telling contribution. A hot, impressive performance all
round, though the slight timing anomaly between WilliamsÆs
and ErvinÆs solos suggests two takes were edited together to
create it. Fair enough.
The weather may be frightening, but that delightful singer
Stacey Kent still knows when her cup is more than half full
on ôIsnÆt It A Lovely Dayö. Just like Fred Astaire did in
Top Hat, the 1935 movie where the song comes from when his
partner in the rain was Ginger Rogers. Here, Stacey makes
music with the equally elegant David Newton at the piano.
Another joint venture displaying consummate professionalism
and style is the two-trombone pairing of J. J. Johnson and
Kai Winding, heard here on a tidy 1954 performance of
JohnsonÆs ôBlues In Twosö. Johnson solos first with a
smooth-toned legato bop style with Winding following,
marginally brasher and fonder of the lower register.
Houston Person specialises in a tough-but-tender attitude to
the tenor saxophone, an approach heard at its best on a
ballad. Here, in 1987 he gives the musical equivalent of a
bear hug to the song composed in the mid 1940s by
pianist-singer Matt Dennis ôEverything Happens To Meö in the
venerable company of Cecil Bridgewater (trumpet).
BridgewaterÆs muted horn solo sounds a little like Miles
Davis, though not quite as much as the man himself does on
ôLittle Willie Leapsö, a coolbop classic from MilesÆs first
ever date as leader in 1947.
Bringing the temperature down majestically is the guitarist
Kenny Burrell who caresses his way through ôMy One And Only
Loveö. A 1953 ballad heard by most people for the first time
on Frank SinatraÆs album Songs For Young Lovers, itÆs
actually an adaptation of a 19th century melody called
ôRomanceö by Anton Rubinstein.
ôTeach Me Tonightö is an R&B-style ballad, composed in the
mid-1950s when they were all the rage, and delivered her in
suitably raunchy style by singer Clare Teal. Her blues-happy
accompanists include guitarist Nils Solberg and pianist
Simon Wallace. Always blues-happy was the bop alto genius
Charlie Parker, here delivering a typically unsentimental
1947 reading of Irving BerlinÆs 1933 song ôHow Deep Is The
Oceanö followed by solos by none other than J. J. Johnson
and Miles Davis.
Piano man Hank Jones is known for his exemplary work as a
great sideman on countless jazz dates, the most recent of
which was an album of ballads by saxophonist Joe Lovan
recorded when the master pianist was 84 years old. ôSummerÆs
Goneö - a bewitching ballad from the pen of Basie saxophonist
Frank Wess - dates from 1955 (when Jones was a mere 37) and
also features a fine solo from trumpeter Donald Byrd.
ôBlue Lesterö spotlights, of course, the glorious,
sleepy-eyed-but-wise saxophone of Lester Young. Beyond a
handful of classic riff tunes (ôLester Leaps Inö and ôTickle
Toeö among them), Prez wasnÆt especially known for his original
compositions, but ôBlue Lesterö is an easy, ingenious minor
lick, a perfect encapsulation of the deceptive simplicity
of the Lester style.
Finally, ôBlue In Greenö is a 1987 interpretation of a jazz
classic that first appeared on Miles DavisÆs 1959 album Kind
Of Blue. Trumpeter Wallace Roney proudly displays his tonal
and conceptual debt to Miles and indeed the whole performance
û also featuring Gary Thomas (tenor) and Mulgrew Miller
(piano) - alludes strongly to the original, metric shifts
and all. The result, not surprisingly, is most haunting.
So, I guess thatÆs all for now. Another set of glorious
sounds from Jazz Express - plenty more where they came from.
Be sure to drop in again, next time youÆre passing. WeÆre
always open and youÆre always welcome.
