Review by Michael G. Nastos

At age 25, Freddie Hubbard made inroads into modern jazz most trumpeters could not

imagine, much less come through with. As a soloist, one of Hubbard's crowning

achievements in his early period was this recording on which he teamed with Wayne

Shorter, marginally as a performer but prominent in the role of arranger/conductor for his

first time ever. Utilizing a septet, 16-piece big band, and orchestra plus stings to play

concise, tight tunes, Shorter provides the backdrop to employ Hubbard's bold toned

trumpet and all of its devices in a full display of his powerful melodic talents. Yeoman

Reggie Workman plays bass on all selections, with drummer Louis Hayes in the

seven-piece combo, and great work from Philly Joe Jones in the larger bands.

Interestingly enough, the three tracks with the smaller ensemble are the most

interesting, due to the presence of Eric Dolphy, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton, and Shorter

on the front line. "Clarence's Place" is a post-bop jewel with spiky brass accents and

Dolphy's ribald and outre alto sax solo contrasting Shorter's relatively reserved tenor,

"Dedicated to You" is a wisp of a tune, while "Body & Soul," an atypical choice for the

opening selection, is a straight read of the classic ballad with a chart that sounds larger

than the small horn section, and a wavering flute via Dolphy. The big band does an

unusual soul-jazz treatment of the Brazilian number "Manha de Carnaval" flavored by

Robert Northern's French horn, while "Aries" is a hard bop show stopper with two-note

accents buoying Hubbard's great lyrical lines, and goes further into hard bop with

"Thermo" as the horns demand attention with the trumpeter as an afterthought. The

string section, ten pieces strong, joins the big band on the film noir type Duke Ellington

piece "Chocolate Shake," the stock "I Got It Bad," and "Skylark," with its soft clarion

intro bubbling underneath with the violins, violas, and cellos. The manner in which this

recording is programmed is thoughtful in that it lends to the diversity of the project, but is

seamless from track to track. Dan Morgenstern's hefty liner notes also explain the

concept behind this ambitious project, one which did not compare to any of Hubbard's

other recordings in his career. Therefore it stands alone as one of the most unique

productions in his substantive discography, and a quite credible initial go-round for

Shorter as an orchestrator.

This live date is refreshingly straight ahead,considering it was recorded in 1969. In that year jackson worked frequently with bassist Ray Brown and the results were always swinging. Here Jackson is joined on the front line by tenor man Teddy Edwards, his warm tenor is alternately boppish and soulful, especially on Blues In The Bassment. Monty Alexander is on piano rounding out the rhythm section and contributing some wonderful solos. But it's Milt and Ray's show all the way. Recommended to fans of hard bop.

MORRE AOS 88 ANOS O SAXOFONISTA SAM RIVERS

O saxofonista Sam Rivers, um dos grandes nomes do jazz de improviso e vanguarda, morreu aos 88 anos de pneumonia em Orlando (Flórida, sudeste dos EUA), confirmou sua família nesta terça-feira (27).
Nascido em Oklahoma (centro sul) em uma família de músicos, Rivers adotou o estilo musical "bebop" nos anos 50 e fez turnês com a cantora Billie Holiday, antes de integrar a banda de Miles Davis em 1964, com quem gravou o disco ao vivo "Miles in Tokyo" nesse mesmo ano.
Rivers gravou uma série de álbuns inovadores de sua própria autoria para o selo Blue Note, entre eles "Fuchsia Swing Song". Também tocou junto com o baixista Dave Holland e o baterista Tony Williams.
Em 1970, Rivers e sua esposa Bea compraram um apartamento no coração de Nova York, ao que chamaram Studio Rivbea e cujas portas estavam sempre abertas para os músicos e aficcionados por jazz.
Em pouco tempo, este lugar se converteu na pedra angular do movimento "Loft jazz scene", que se popularizou nos anos 70 em Nova York e que consiste em fazer shows em grandes apartamentos, que são de fato reciclagens de fábricas e armazéns em desuso.
Nos anos 80, Rivers tocou durante quatro anos com a banda United Nations de John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie, para logo se estabelecer em Orlando e formar sua própria banda.
"Para mim, meu pai esteve de férias a vida toda", disse sua filha e empresária Monique Rivers Williams na segunda-feira, ao jornal "Orlando Sentinel", ao informar sobre o falecimento.
"Ele costumava me dizer: 'Estou trabalhando, mas aproveito cada momento dele'", explicou.
"Aposentaria não fazia parte de seu vocabulário. Ele costumava me perguntar: Para que temos essa palavra?", acrescentou. GLOBO .COM

BILL PERKINS WITH RICHIE KAMUCA E ART PEPPER

Plan Gordon - Bill Perkins

# 100 - Just Friends

Originalmente influenciado por Lester Young y más orientado al estilo de John Coltrane después, Bill Perkins fue uno de los más talentosos saxofonistas de la escena de Los Angeles en la década de 1950.
En la ambiciosa edición del sello Lone Hill de 2006 que se presenta aquí, se recoge "casi" en su totalidad las grabaciones junto a sus colegas Richie Kamuca y Art Pepper, aparecidas inicialmente en dos destacados discos: Tenors Head On -uno de los tres volúmenes de la serie Lighthouse ideada por Howard Rumsey para el sello Liberty-, y Just Friends del sello Pacific Jazz, que es el mencionado por Robert Gordon en su selección.

Ese "casi" entrecomillado es debido a que, por razones de espacio, la producción de Lone Hill excluyó "What Is This Thing Called Love?", una de las tomas del LP Just Friends orignal (Pacific Jazz M-401), compensándola con "Angel Eyes", una grabación de la misma sesión de Diciembre de 1956, que completaron Art Pepper en saxo alto, Jimmy Rowles al piano, Ben Tucker en contrabajo y Mel Lewis en batería.
Aquellos visitantes habituales de Quintaesencia, encontrarán esa toma "perdida" en la ya presentada colección de grabaciones completas de Art Pepper para el sello Pacific Jazz. Pero como las libertades que nos tomamos los "blogeros" son ilimitadas, también encontrarán en la música compartida, la mencionada grabación, extraída de una de las tantas reediciones de estos registros que han aparecido en el tiempo.

Por su parte, las grabaciones de Perkins con Kamuca, datan de Julio y Octubre de 1956 y allí están presentes los pianistas Hampton Hawes y Pete Jolly, el contrabajista Red Mitchell y los bateristas Mel Lewis y Stan Levey.
Una sutil maravilla a destacar: la hermosísima versión de "Sweet And Lovely" donde Kamuca exige a su tenor un registro "ultra-alto" y Perkins deslumbra en clarinete bajo y flauta.

They have earned - with no caterwauling about travel, working conditions, the plight of the "jazzman" in America today, and related rot- the respect and love of many musicians and listeners, especially those who were around to sop up that Basie band in the early `40s. They are, truly, giants: yesterday through, and inclusive of, tomorrow. The album was recorded at Nola's penthouse from 10 AM to 4 PM on a Sunday afternoon in December and it was fun, fun, fun and happiness. What I wouldn't give to play with a band like this every night! Ah well, back to the workroom and some more of that score paper so have a good time at the funeral and a good day to all. (From Bob Brookmeyer's original liner notes)

RON CARTER E BIG BAND

Ron Carter's Great Big Band
Sunnyside

Philip Booth reviews the legendary bassist's new CD

By Philip Booth

Given the thousands of recordings that Ron Carter has played on, it’s surprising that Ron Carter’s Great Big Band is the masterful bassist’s first session leading a large ensemble. Tapping the talents of prolific jazz and pop arranger Robert Freedman, pianist Mulgrew Miller, drummer Lewis Nash and a roomful of first-call hornmen, Carter turns in a 13-track program that makes a refreshing—not stuffy—jazz-history survey, with music dating all the way back to W.C. Handy. Underneath it all, Carter drives the tunes, including two of his own, with typically impeccable time, tone that’s woody and resonant, and adroit note choices.

The Latin-tinged pieces are among the standouts on the disc. A shimmering version of Dizzy Gillespie’s “Con Alma” opens and closes with a brass choir, and features a slipping-and-sliding Carter solo as well as dazzling, economical turns from Miller, trumpeter Greg Gisbert and alto saxophonist Steve Wilson. Jerry Dodgion’s bright, inquisitive soprano sax rides atop a version of Ellington’s “Caravan” characterized by a sneaky intro, staggered brass and some intriguing detours.
Freedman nods to the classic ’40s big-band sound on a couple of occasions, with an update of Sy Oliver’s “Opus One,” penned for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and here led off by bass trombonist Doug Purviance, and Tom Harrell’s retro-minded “Sail Away,” with relaxed solos by Miller, trombonist James Burton III, Carter and tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery. The band also ventures into hard bop, with a fiery take on Sonny Stitt’s “The Eternal Triangle”; cool-jazz climes, with Gerry Mulligan’s tuneful “Line for Lyons” and John Lewis’ “The Golden Striker”; and soul jazz, with a grooving take on Nat Adderley’s “Sweet Emma.” Carter even offers a pleasant return trip to Wayne Shorter’s “Footprints,” which the bassist, 74, helped make famous as part of Miles’ Second Great Quintet.  jazztimes.com

This LP is a reprise of Benny Carter's brilliant Further Definitions session of 1961 and, like most sequels, it is not quite on the same level as the original. Utilizing five saxes (Bud Shank and his own altos, tenors Buddy Collette and Teddy Edwards and baritonist Bill Hood), Carter's arrangements for six of his originals, "Fantastic, That's You" and "If Dreams Come True" are colorful, although the solos are less memorable than on the earlier session; who could replace Coleman Hawkins? Carter, who did all the arrangements here too, features more of his own compositions this time around, with an updated version of "Doozy" and a superb cover of "Fantastic, That's You" (was every artist at Impulse! in 1966 forced to record this song?). The 1966 date features West Coast cats like Bud Shank, Buddy Collette, Teddy Edwards, Barney Kessel and Ray Brown -- all of whom swing hard and warm like the East Coasters who made the 1961 session famous. A highly recommended choice for some great jazz listening.Refreshingly timeless.

3. We Kiss in a Shadow (Hammerstein, Rodgers) 5:40

For Sonny Rollins, the 1960s were a period of consolidation and revolution as he refined his own concepts and reacted to the flurry of events around him. In taking stock of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler and Archie Shepp, Sonny formulated a series of fascinating responses, from the elegant, mainstream approach of THE BRIDGE to his free-form safaris into the underbrush of open-ended group improvisation with Don Cherry (On The Outside).

East Broadway Run Down is the apotheosis of this period, one of Sonny Rollins most powerful recordings. Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones (late of Coltrane's band) fire each of these performances with an elemental energy. Meanwhile, the relaxed and extremely confident Sonny responds with some of his most charged improvisations, abstract and exploratory, yet lyrical and supremely bluesy.

The title tune begins with an angular, fragmented blues vamp. As Garrison and Jones lock into a multi-layered 4/4 groove, Rollins sculpts in space, lagging way behind the beat with heraldic recitatives and coy snippets of the theme, teasing Jones into one rhythmic climax after another in the manner of Monk and Lester Young. Freddie Hubbard responds to Rollins' thematic parries with fierce, bluesy counterpunches, and following free solo passages from Garrison and Jones, they proceed with free textural exchanges over a hypnotic rhythm vamp. After this epic romp, Sonny (sans Freddie) jumps headfirst into the ancestral blues figures of "Blessing In Disguise" with garrulous, preaching energy. "We Kiss In A Shadow" (from "The King And I") is among his most touching ballads, moving from a tender Afro-Cuban head to a slow grinding shuffle, as Sonny deconstructs the melody with rhapsodic elan.

Review by Steven McDonald
Around the ten-minute mark of the title track, things get very interesting indeed — moody and spooky as Jimmy Garrison hangs on a single note, making his bass throb along while Elvin Jones widens the space and fires drum and cymbal hits in all directions. Coming off bass and drum solos that never seem to fit anywhere in the piece, it's a supreme moment of tension-building, one that gets repeated after Rollins and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard restate the theme in unison. This is the sound of Rollins' group working in unity. For much of "East Broadway Run Down," though, the rhythm section is off doing their thing, usually together, while Rollins meanders about in limbo, seemingly trying to figure out what it is that he should be doing. That Rollins was having an off day for this recording is a suspicion that's strengthened by Hubbard's part — where Rollins is wandering, Hubbard is charging ahead, focused and tight, fitting with the rhythm section, keeping the tension up. The remainder of the album is more on the mark, with "Blessing in Disguise" being quite enjoyable — it starts out in a cheerfully traditional vein and gradually, subtly, starts to slide off into an improvisational area only to come back again to the traditional, and so back and forth. Rollins floats his sax line around the melody with only occasional excursions toward the outer regions. "We Kiss in a Shadow," though, is charmingly straightforward, a ballad rendering supported by Jones and Garrison locking together on a nice rhythm construction that lets Rollins float around the melody.

10 años de la Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra.El pianista y director Arturo O´Farrill anunció que habrá una celebración de beneficio para conmemorar los 10 años de la Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, que dirige. El evento se realizará el 20 de enero en el Symphony Space de Nueva York y habrá invitados especiales, tales como la vocalista Claudia Acuña, el saxofonista Donald Harrison, y el pianista Randy Weston que estará reemplazando a Eddie Palmieri quien no estará participando como se había anunciado antes. En cierta medida esta orquesta es la continuadora de la del padre de Arturo O´Farrill, el legendario Chico O´Farrill y su estilo y repertorio reflejan una perfecta imagen del jazz latino actual. Ha estado vinculada al Lincoln Center y al club de jazz Birdland y ha recibido comisiones musicales de autores como Miguel Zenón, Dafnis Prieto y del propio O´Farrill, entre otros. También ha realizado giras internacionales que incluyen una célebre visita a Cuba el año pasado en la que hubo una intensa interacción con músicos de jazz cubanos.

Tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse is best known for his work with Thelonious Monk, playing with the enigmatic pianist and composer during Monk's Columbia years from 1959 until 1970.

Rouse's sound with Monk was so fluid and smooth that's it's easy to forget how many eccentric, jagged turns he had to navigate night after night, and that Rouse did it with quiet, steady grace is a testament both to his sax playing and to the space Monk built into his puzzle box compositions. Rouse headed up few sessions on his own as a bandleader, but as this calm, workmanlike set, recorded in 1960 and originally released in 1961 on Epic Records, clearly shows, he could rise to the occasion. Working with a rhythm section of Dave Bailey on drums, Peck Morrison on bass, and Billy Gardner on piano (this was actually Gardner's debut in a recording studio), Rouse's sax lines seem to float effortlessly over the top of things, feeling less urgent and angular than his work with Monk. Highlights include the opener, "You Don't Know What Love Is," the Gardner composition "Billy's Blues," and the pretty ballad, "(There Is No) Greater Love," that closes things out. It's all very pleasant, falling to the easy side of the hard bop spectrum with very few rough edges or surprises. Rouse arguably was at his best as a solid supporting player, but this session has its moments, and it shows a more romantic, gliding side to Rouse than was usually on display with Monk. Everything here on this Japanese reissue was included in Epic's Unsung Hero release, which also added three additional tracks, making it a marginally better purchase than this one. ~Steve Leggett

HOMENAGEM A SONNY ROLLINS TRASMITIDA PELA CBS

Gala de honor a Rollins transmitida por CBS.
Tal como informamos en este blog a comienzos de diciembre, el "coloso" del saxo tenor, Sonny Rollins, fue uno de los agraciados con los honores anuales del Centro Kennedy en Washington, con la presencia del Presidente Barack Obama, ex-Presidente Bill Clinton y altas personalidades del mundo artístico. La ceremonia de dos horas será transmitida en su totalidad al país (y al mundo por cable) por la cadena CBS el 27 de este mes. Rollins ha recibido innumerables galardones y premios en su carrera y este, uno de los de mayor prestigio en EEUU, ha sido el último. También lo recibieron Meryl Streep, Barbara Cook, Neil Diamond y Yo-Yo Ma. En la transmisión se podrá escuchar y ver el discurso de Bill Clinton dedicado a Rollins, así como el acto musical organizado por Christian McBride con algunos "gigantes" del jazz, tales como Benny Golson, Roy Hargrove, Jim Hall, Joe Lovano, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, Ravi Coltrane y otros.
