STANDARS SEMANAL.-771.Gee,Baby,Ain´t I Good to You.-VINILOS MITICOS DEL JAZZ.-JOHN COLTRANE - Blue Train.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.-.ANA PEREIRA-BAILA LA LLUVIA Blue Train es un álbum de estudio delsaxofonista y compositor de jazz John Coltrane . Fue lanzado a través de Blue Note Records en enero de 1958. [ 1 ] Es la única sesión de Coltrane como líder para Blue Note. [ 8 ] La grabación tuvo lugar en el estudio de Rudy Van Gelder el 15 de septiembre de 1957. Coltrane compuso cuatro de los cinco temas del disco. Su interpretación exhibe elementos tempranos del estilo característico por el que posteriormente se hizo conocido. Blue Train obtuvo la certificación de oro en ventas de la Asociación de la Industria Discográfica de Estados Unidos (RIAA) en 2001.El álbum se grabó durante la residencia de Coltrane en el Five Spot como miembro del cuarteto Thelonious Monk . El equipo incluye a los compañeros de banda de Coltrane en Miles Davis , Paul Chambers al bajo y Philly Joe Jones a la batería, quienes ya habían trabajado con el pianista Kenny Drew . Tanto el trompetista Lee Morgan como el trombonista Curtis Fuller eran músicos de jazz prometedores, y ambos fueron miembros de Jazz Messengers de Art Blakey en su momento. A diferencia de su anterior sello, Blue Note pagó a los músicos para que ensayaran la música durante un par de días antes de la sesión de grabación. La forma de tocar de Coltrane muestra la evolución hacia lo que se convertiría en su estilo característico. Sus solos son más armónicos o verticales y sus líneas son arpegiadas. Su ritmo a menudo se desmarcaba del tiempo o lo superaba, en lugar de tocar sobre él o por detrás. [ 9 ] Durante una entrevista en 1960, Coltrane describió Blue Train como su álbum favorito hasta ese momento. [ 13 ] El siguiente gran álbum de John Coltrane, Giant Steps , grabado en 1959, abriría nuevos caminos melódicos y armónicos en el jazz, mientras que Blue Train se apega al estilo hard bop de la época. El musicólogo Lewis Porter también ha demostrado una relación armónica entre «Lazy Bird» de Coltrane y « Lady Bird » de Tadd Dameron . [ 14 ] [ 15 ] Mientras estaba en el podcast "Traneumentary" de Joe Vella, Michael Cuscuna , el productor de reediciones de Blue Note , comentó: Estamos escuchando "Blue Train", que para mí es una de las piezas más hermosas de uno de los discos más hermosos que Coltrane grabó en los cincuenta. Es su primera declaración de madurez real, y escribió todos los temas de este álbum menos uno, algo muy poco común en los cincuenta, y cada uno es una joya, en particular el tema principal, "Blue Train". Y aunque es bastante fácil tocar blues, este tiene una cualidad suspendida y evocadora. Ana Pereira presenta su primer trabajo discográfico "Baila la lluvia" (Sedajazz Records), una reinterpretación del bolero desde una perspectiva personal y contemporánea. Acompañada por Isaac Martín (bajo y dirección musical), Daniel Orts (piano) y Tico Porcar (batería), fusiona este género con el jazz y otras músicas, aportando una visión fresca y actual de un género que se convierte así en atemporal. Su voz delicada, elegante y expresiva, y los arreglos sofisticados interpretados por el genial trío que la acompaña, consiguen que el directo sea toda una experiencia íntima y envolvente que transporta al público a través del tiempo en una conexión pasado-presente con la música como compañera de viaje.

Pianist/composer Kenny Drew recorded this wonderful album for Blue Note Records just before departing for Europe and it's a minor classic. All the compositions are by Kenny Drew and the hand picked band sounds like a working band even though they only assembled for this date. The people involved are the "welterweight champion of the tenor saxophone" : Hank Mobley. On trumpet, someone who would define trumpet playing in the 60's and beyond, Freddie Hubbard. Borrowed from Cannonball Adderley's band was one of the eras finest rhythm sections with Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. Drew's piano is in full force here and the dancing quality in his concept is from his West Indian heritage. The album is called "Undercurrent" and was issued on Blue Note and is definitely a joy to hear. Check it out!

Альбом The Alvin Queen Trio • Night Train To Copenhagen - это новые версии треков взятые с пластинок The Oscar Peterson Trio • Night Train®️1963 и We Get Requests®️1964, продуцированных Norman Granz, ставшие классикой мэйнстрима и ярким учебником свинговых стандартов бибопа. Alvin Queen - швейцарский барабанщик, родившийся в нью-йоркском Бронксе в 1950 году. В 16 лет он играл в группе Wild Bill Davis. Затем заменил Billy Cobham в The Horace Silver Quintet. Потом играл в квартете George Benson, а в 1971 присоединился к трубачу Charles Tolliver. В начале 70х он жил в Канаде, а в 1979 переехал в Швейцарию, где создал свой лейбл Nilva. Он также играл с Michael Brecker, Kenny Drew, Bennie Wallace, Duško Gojković, Johnny Griffin и George Coleman. В 2019 году вышел альбом Alvin Queen Trio • OP: А Tribute to Oscar Peterson, в котором также было 15 треков. Знание материала и чувство такта барабанщика явно в памятном духе, ведь он играл в группе Оскара Петерсона до его ухода из жизни в 2007 году.

After growing up in Detroit, he studied with the renowned pianist Barry Harris and started playing jazz professionally at age 19. He moved from Detroit to New York in 1959 and performed with Charles Mingus from 1960 to 1972. Mr. McPherson has performed at concerts and festivals with his own variety of groups, consisting of quartets, quintets to full orchestras. Charles was featured at Lincoln Center showcasing his original compositions 15 years ago, and once again joined Wynton Marsalis and J@LC Orchestra in April, 2019 honoring his 80th Birthday where they arranged and performed 7 of Charles’ iconic original compositions. Charles has toured the U.S., Europe, Japan, Africa and South America with his own group, as well as with jazz greats Barry Harris, Billy Eckstine, Lionel Hampton, Nat Adderly, Jay McShann, Phil Woods, Wynton Marsalis, Tom Harrell, Randy Brecker, James Moody, Dizzy Gillespie, and others. McPherson has recorded as guest artist with Charlie Mingus, Barry Harris, Art Farmer, Kenny Drew, Toshiko Akiyoshi, the Carnegie Hall Jazz Orchestra, and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. He has recorded as a leader on Prestige, Fantasy, Mainstream, Discovery, Xanadu, Arabesque, Capri and several smaller labels in Europe and Japan. Charles was the featured alto saxophonist in the Clint Eastwood film “Bird,” a biopic about Charlie Parker. Charles has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Don Redman Lifetime Achievement Award and an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from California State University San Marcos. Charles performed this past April at the NEA Jazz Master’s 2019 performance during Stanley Crouch’s tribute. Widely recognized as a prolific composer, Charles is now Resident Composer for the San Diego Ballet, where he has written three original suites for chamber music and jazz combos. In the summer of 2019, Dr. Donnie Norton will compile the entire book of Charles’ compositions for publication. McPherson remains a strong, viable force on the jazz scene today. Throughout his six decades of being an integral performer of the music, Charles has not merely remained true to his Be Bop origins but has expanded on them. Stanley Crouch says in his New York Times article on Charles, “he is a singular voice who has never sacrificed the fluidity of his melody making and is held in high esteem by musicians both long seasoned and young.” Charles is a frequent guest at universities all over the world and also teaches privately. Many of his former students have gone on to have careers of their own in jazz, and have earned National Jazz Student Awards. Charles had the honor of being the subject of the Ph.D. candidate Dr. Donnie Norton’s Doctoral Dissertation: “The Jazz Saxophone Style of Charles McPherson: An Analysis through Biographical Examination and Solo Transcription.” Find him at https://charlesmcpherson.com/ Your hosts: Michael Shapira: michaelxshapira.com @michaelxshapira Austin Zhang: austinzhang.org @austindiscovers Learn more: https://bravesound.org/ Instagram: @bravesoundnyc

Nick and Simon discuss Undercurrent, arguably a hidden gem in the rich soil of the Blue Note label's discography.

This Episode focuses on the Classic  album BLUE TRAIN and Kenny Drew's part in it.In 1957 John Coltrane had a pivotal year. He was sacked by Miles Davis for his heroin addiction so kicked the habit cold turkey and got down to rebuilding his life. He joined Thelonius Monk and made several albums under his own name as leader but only one of those was for Blue Note.Apple MusicFACEBOOK GROUPJASON LYON ARTICLEPATREON

[2] JAZZ ACTUALIDAD .- Esta semana tendremos a PERICO SAMBEAT-OFRENDA- Perico Sambeat tiene mucho nombre en la escena española, lleva mas de veinte discos como líder demostrando su valía y ha tocado junto a músicos de la talla de Brad Mehldau, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Tete Montoliu, Michael Brecker o Pat Metheny entre otros. Nosotros le venimos siguiendo a Perico Sambeat cuando podemos, y ahora nos alegramos de poder escuchar su última entrega ‘ Ofrenda’ donde se ha rodeado de un elenco de músicos de lujo. Son el pianista californiano afincado en Nueva York Danny Grissett, (Jeremy Pelt, Laïka Fatien), el bajista alemán de origen nigeriano Ugonna Okegwo (René Marie, Tom Harrell) y el batería neoyorkino E.J. Strickland (Herbie Hancock, Cassandra Wilson). Cuatro maestros que desde luego no tienen que demostrar nada y tan solo deben dejar que la música fluya para obtener un gran disco de jazz del bueno. El repertorio consiste en once temas que parecen ser del propio Perico Sambeat, el dato no aparece referenciado en el disco, y a mí me parece que cumplen con las expectativas. Jazz contemporáneo con muchos toques neoyorkinos y algo de sabor latino demuestran el gusto de Perico y su gente. Ya desde el inicial y elegante ‘Ofrenda’ que mezcla sabiamente el blues con lo latino con mucha soltura o ese pequeño homenaje a Coltrane que es ‘Dwarf Steps’ (pasos de enano) todo suena fluido y cálido. Hay sitio para baladas como ‘Majoun’, ‘Implorar’, con mucho sabor a jazz clásico estadounidense, o la final ‘Elegia’ un sentido mano a mano con Grissett. Entre los demás temas podemos hablar de la rítmica ‘Nigromante’ con mucho sabor latino, la nerviosa ‘Impasse’ o ‘Gateway’ que ya grabo junto a Joe Magnarelli. Otro buen disco de Perico Sambeat que no defrauda, te puede gustar mas en otras facetas, pero nunca baja el listón.

Un abrazo JAZZ RECUERDO ANIVERSARIO.- Dexter Gordon-1963 Our Man in Paris. Our Man in Paris es un álbum de jazz de 1963 del saxofonista Dexter Gordon . El título del álbum se refiere al lugar donde se realizó la grabación, Gordon (que se había mudado a Copenhague un año antes) formando equipo con sus compañeros expatriados Bud Powell y Kenny Clarke , ambos residentes parisinos, y el parisino nativo Pierre Michelot . Powell, Clarke y Michelot, bajo el nombre The Three Bosses, habían jugado juntos a menudo en París desde que Powell se mudó allí en 1959. El álbum fue remasterizado por Rudy Van Gelder en 2003 y lanzado como parte de la serie RVG Edition de Blue Note . La intención original era que el pianista de la grabación fuera Kenny Drew y que la música fuera nuevas composiciones de Gordon. Sin embargo, el pianista real utilizado fue Bud Powell, quien no tocaría música nueva, por lo que se eligieron los estándares de jazz durante el ensayo. Las dos pistas agregadas al lanzamiento del CD fueron originalmente emitidas por Blue Note en Alternate Takes de Bud Powell en 1985. La Penguin Guide to Jazz le otorgó una calificación máxima de cuatro estrellas y la agregó a la colección principal, comentando que laactuación deGordon en " A Night in Tunisia " "es una de sus mejores actuaciones en el registro" y concluyendo que el álbum es "un clásico". La revisión de la versión remasterizada de 2003 en The Guardian fue igualmente positiva, afirmando que es "uno de los clásicos de todos los tiempos". • Dexter Gordon - saxofón tenor • Bud Powell - piano • Pierre Michelot - bajo • Kenny Clarke - batería JAZZ ACTUALIDAD .- “ACUARELA DE PASO”, Jaby Sánchez, guitarra y composición + Marta Mansilla, flauta. Esta semana vamos a tener Jaby Sánchez, guitarra y composición + Marta Mansilla, flauta “ACUARELA DE PASO” es el nuevo trabajo discográfico de Jaby Sánchez, acompañado esta vez por la flautista Marta Mansilla. La música recogida en el álbum comienza a tomar forma a mediados de 2018. En noviembre del mismo año presentan las dos primeras piezas en el auditorio Fernán Gómez, durante la ceremonia inaugural del Festival de Jazz de Madrid. En la obra, el compositor se sumerge en su propio subconsciente por el camino de la improvisación y la composición en tiempo real, lo que desemboca en una música bella y de infinitos matices, producto de la revisión y arreglo de improvisaciones originales adaptadas para el dúo. Javier Sánchez Grande se adentra en el estudio del jazz apoyado por la Fundación Música Creativa, de quien recibe una beca que será crucial en su formación. Asimismo, gracias a la Fundación SGAE, consigue completar sus estudios superiores fuera de España, al recibir la ayuda para la ampliación de estudios internacionales. En el verano de 2015 aprovecha su visita a Madrid para grabar su primer álbum personal, que recibe el nombre de Inner Blossom. En 2016 es seleccionado por el Festival de Jazz de Montreux para ser uno de los 9 guitarristas que participarían en la competición SOCAR Montreux Jazz Guitar Competition, coincidiendo con el 50 aniversario del festival. Marta Mansilla se inicia en la música a muy temprana edad, ingresando en el conservatorio Rodolfo Halfter apenas cumplidos 6 años. Se adentra en el flamenco y el jazz de la mano de nombres como Jorge Pardo, Patxi Pascual, Juan Parrilla o Bob Sands, entre otros. Es un miembro activo de la escena madrileña; destaca su labor en el flamenco de la mano de Pedro Ojesto o María Peláez, así como su trayectoria en el circuito de cantautores y su colaboración con “Las Texidoras” o el trío del pianista David Sancho.

We're really excited to welcome Modern House Quintet to the podcast. The Parisian duo have been putting out some superb freewheeling analog jams in recent times, focusing on slow-burning grooves and melodic improvisation (see also some lush sounds under their Cyclades moniker). Their wonderful mix for us is almost entirely comprised of unreleased material, all made by their own fair hands as is the Monologues Podcast way. *How would you describe your sound?* It’s always a tricky question. I would say that I try to do different things every time. A concrete example : the new release (CYC 003) contains five tracks which are quite unalike : one is a piano and guitar "housy" piece. The other is more dub-techno oriented. The third one has a more delicate house feeling, whereas the next one has a breakbeat-jungle vibe. The final one is kind of a vibraphonic interlude. *What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* Lots of immense jazz musicians : Milt Jackson, Red Garland, Kenny Drew, Tommy Flanagan, Teddy Wilson, Oscar Peterson, Clifford Brown, Kenny Clarke. Within the electronic scene : Lars Bartkhun, Basic Channel, Mike Grant, Omar S, Anthony Nicholson, Ron Trent, Volcov. Outside the electronic scene : Steve Reich and Philip Glass. On a different perspective, there is also the work of the dubplates & mastering engineers: Helmut Erler, Christoph Grote-Beverborg or Rashad Becker. The lacquering/cutting process has always been fascinating to me. It’s not an "influence" strictly speaking, obviously, but their work is impressive and it is inspiring somehow, yes. There are also soundtracks and movies, of course : as such, the italian TV show "Gomorra" is a wonder ("Suburra" as well by the way). The guys from Mokadelic did an incredible work. And I really like Eric Rohmer's movies, even though there is little music in them. All these things have, one way or another, an influence. *Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?* The mix gathers strictly unreleased productions and one song previously released in 2018, on the Modern House Quintet label. I tried to do something varied, quite heterogenous so that the listener - and me - cannot be bored. Therefore, some songs are more techno, some have a sort of an ethereal atmosphere whereas others have a more "housy" feeling. Some are sketches whereas others are more "completed". About the tracklisting, I simply wrote "unreleased" with a short indication next to it, merely because I don’t have an accurate title yet, haha. Tracklist:1. Modern House Quintet - Unreleased (the atmospheric one)2. Modern House Quintet - Unreleased (the jazzy/vibraphonic one)3. Modern House Quintet - Unreleased (the slow techno one)4.

Harold Floyd "Tina" Brooks occupies a place in Jazz History as being a great and distinctive voice of the tenor saxophone who had a lot of bad luck, no real fame and an early death. One very sad lifetime but now that he is long gone, his artistry is acknowledged by all. Of his 4 Blue Note dates under his own name only one was issued. Now everything he recorded as a leader and sideman is now out and available. He died in 1974 at age 42 but his reputation was revitalized when all of his albums were unearthed and released in the early 1980s on LP and CD and in box sets. This is one of his "unreleased" albums. His third for Blue Note and it's a great one. It features Tina (pronounced "Ty-na") on tenor saxophone leading trumpeter Blue Mitchell, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Arthur Taylor plus on one tune a cameo appearance by alto saxophone master Jackie McLean. Brooks contributes three tunes and two more obscure standards complete the date. The standard tunes are "For Heavens Sake" and "The Ruby and The Pearl". The album is called "Back To The Tracks" and it was given a matrix number and advertised in Jazz publications but never issued. The story of brooks' life. Check it out tonight.

In this episode, we feature music by Kenny Burrell and Coleman  Hawkins, Kenny Drew, Kenny Dorham  and several others.

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, between bebop and hard-bop, between singles and LPs. It is . . . the ten-inch zone. The mid-fifties saw a transition away from 78s towards two kinds of "long-players" - 7 inch singles that ran as long as the old 10 inch 78s, and 12 inch LPs. For a brief period, the 10 inch LP was the medium of choice to release "popular" music, and tonight's podcast looks at six of these ten-inch releases (well, one dates from 2016 but has music from the mid-fifties). Gil Melle – GIL MELLE QUINTET VOL 4; Jay Jay Johnson – JAY JAY JOHNSON; Kenny Drew – VOL 1 INTRODUCING THE KENNY DREW TRIO; Wes Montgomery – LIVE AT THE TURF CLUB; Cal Tjader – CAL TJADER TRIO; Howard McGhee – HOWARD MCGHEE VOLUME TWO.

This was trumpeter Johnny Coles' debut album under his name and this begins a series for August of rare and sometimes hard to find recordings by artists well known or more obscure. Coles lies in the middle as he like many musicians should be better known. His distinctive approach to the trumpet marked him as being a superbly individual voice. Johnny was widely admired but never achieved that legendary status. This rare date is a fine example of his work and should have placed him in the top rank of trumpeters but instead it became a "collector's item". It was done for Epic Records (a Jazz subsidiary of Columbia Records in 1961. Epic put out some fine dates and some became famous but some remained obscure, this was one of them and it didn't deserve that fate. Johnny picked pianist Kenny Drew for the date as well as John "Peck" Morrison on bass and Charli Persip on drums. At Johnny's request pianist/composer Randy Weston was invited to supervise the playing and interpretation of some of his tunes and on the final two selections Randy takes over the piano chores from Kenny Drew. Randy performs on his song "Where?" and his delightful "Babe's Blues". All in all this was an auspicious debut for Johnny Coles, it's just too bad few people heard it at the time. Hear "Little Johnny C." at his best tonight and enjoy "The Warm Sound".

Hank Bagby is a name few people would know and is our last obscure but talented musician/leader in this month's series of Jazz Features. Hank Bagby was born in Denver, Colorado in 1923 and began is musical life as a singer in his home town then he ventured to the West Coast and worked in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He took up the saxophone in the late 40s and soon was playing in the Los Angeles underground Jazz scene with people like, pianist Kenny Drew, drummer Frank Butler and many others. He hooked up with piano legend Elmo Hope in 1960 to form the "Bagby-Hope" Quartet but they never recorded and soon after Hope returned to New York. Bagby worked with many bands including Onzy Matthews and was recognised as a fine tenor saxophonist. He never recorded until 1964 and tonight's Jazz feature is his only recording. It's a goody and has until very recently been a valued collector's item. The Japanese issued it on CD in 2012 and one can find it on Amazon. The album is called The Hank Bagby Soultet: "Opus One" and it featured 6 Bagby compositions with Hank on tenor saxophone and the great but obscure trumpet star Chuck Foster. Foster played with Buddy Rich and others. The pianist is the excellent Dave MacKay. MacKay, who is blind from birth has worked with many people in Los Angeles and also in the Hollywood studios. He is a very talented player. The bassists and obscure but good...Gary Driskell on one tune and Al Levitt on drums. Levitt has worked with Stan Getz and Lee Konitz. The 5 other tunes have Al Hines on bass and the better known Charles "Chiz" Harris on drums. This is a solid date with great playing by all and it is as good as anything you'll hear from better known players. Bagby eventually moved to Modesto, California and continued to play locally and worked for the California government as a drug and alcohol counselor until he retired. Bagby died there in December 1993 at age 71. Hank Bagby...a good name to remember and check out!

Bienvenidos queridos amigos de Cantes Rodados en Radio Gladys Palmera. El programa de hoy están dedicado a los cuplés. A finales del siglo XIX, un nuevo tipo de canción comenzó a ser popular en los escenarios españoles de café y teatro. Era esta de música melodiosa y pegadiza y letra atrevida y picante, que llegó por influencia de los espectáculos franceses, tan en boga en aquellos tiempos. El género estuvo en boga durante tres décadas aproximadamente, luego, resurgió en los años cincuenta con la película El último cuplé, se volvió a desvanecer hacia los ochenta y ahora con la reciente muerte del último mito español, Sara Montiel, parece volver por sus fueros. Recientemente, trabajan con el cuplé talentosas actrices-cantantes como la Bernalina y Esperanza Argüelles.Créditos:Sintonías: Olé Swing, Bebo y Federico Britos, Ara Malikian & Fernando Egozcue, Colina & Serrano, Charlie Hadem Harold López Nussa, José María Vitier, Diego Amador, Kenny Drew.Poema: Juan Gelman, Oración.Producción técnica: Alex García Amat.Foto: Paco Rubio

This is a classic John Coltrane recording to celebrate his 90th Birthday Anniversary. The album was his only date for Blue Note Records and it occupies the position of Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue", Brubeck's "Take Five" or Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" as being an essential Jazz album. Coltrane was given rehearsal time and was able to hand pick the personnel. He chose a young Lee Morgan on trumpet who was 19 at the time! Curtis Fuller was a new voice on the trombone with his distinctive sound. Kenny Drew on piano was a wise choice with his rhythmic accompaniment and his dancing darting solos. Paul Chambers on bass and the great Philly Joe Jones on drums make up what is arguably the best rhythm section in Jazz at that time. Coltrane had emerged as a stunning soloist when this date was done and had reached an early peak in his playing He had thrown off drugs and alcohol and had embarked with the encouragement of Thelonious Monk and others to practice hard on his horn and the results of that work are here on this pivotal recording that in 1960, Coltrane said was "my favourite". When we listen tonight I think we'll all hear why. Check out "Blue Train".

Kenny Dorham was as Art Blakey once said "the uncrowned king" of Modern Jazz trumpet. This delightful album was a pet project of Kenny's as he loved the music of Jerome Kern and decided to do an album with a hand-picked all-star band of Kern's musical masterpiece "Showboat". Dorham selected his 6 favourite songs from the musical and delivers them with his beautiful sound, individual concept and total mastery. This date was done in December of 1960 and Dorham's band included the wonderful Philadelphia tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath. Kenny Drew, one of the finest of all Bud Powell's disciples on piano. A young pre-Coltrane Jimmy Garrison is on bass and the ubiquitous Arthur Taylor mans the drums in his usual swinging and definitive manner. This date is a wonderful re-interpretation of great music from the Great American Songbook by one of the greatest of all trumpeters....Kenny Dorham.

Dexter Gordon was a pioneer of Modern Jazz and influenced a whole school of saxophone players including John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. This live set recorded in Copenhagen at that city's most famous Jazz club The Montmartre during Gordon's happy and productive European sojourn. Dexter is accompanied by the finest rhythm section in Europe with two American ex-pats: pianist Kenny Drew and drummer Albert Heath plus the young Danish genius of the bass Nils Henning Orsted-Pederson (NHOP. Dexter delivers the goods on this date done in 1967.

It's another near-brush with coherence, as Pat and Mike try to discuss four releases from the hallowed Blue Note label, only to realize that Kenny Drew's album snuck in the back door. Kenny Drew – TALKIN' AND WALKIN'; Tina Brooks – MINOR MOVE; Herbie Hancock – MAIDEN VOYAGE; Wayne Shorter – ALL SEEING EYE. Also, Pat has a man-crush on Wayne Shorter you wouldn't believe.

This feature is to honour the 87th Birthday of one of the most exciting, creative and influential musicians of the 20th Century namely John William Coltrane. Coltrane was under an exclusive recording contract with Prestige Records from 1957 to the end of 1958 however he was allowed to record this one date for Blue Note Records and the label's owner Alfred Lion made the most out of it by giving Coltrane a chance to not only record his own composition but write them for a three horn front line and of course pick the men to do this. Lion also paid for two days of rehearsal to get the music together. This was unheard of at the other label.The date was one of Coltrane's personal favourites and is considered a classic.The people involved are Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Curtis Fuller on trombone, the teenage trumpet sensation, Lee Morgan, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The tunes are all by Coltrane (Blue Train, Moment's Notice, Locomotion, Lazy Bird) and the ballad of the set written by Kern and Mercer: "I'm Old Fashioned". Blue Train stands out in the history of Coltrane's legacy and is clearly his best from his early period. Happy Birthday Mr. Coltrane.

Boniface Ferdinand Leonard "Buddy" DeFranco was the man who brought the clarinet into the Modern jazz era. DeFranco began and can be heard on very early recordings in the mid-forties sounding like a combination of Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw but he soon was absorbing the musical language of Charlie Parker and his disciples and "modernized" his style and became the leading voice of the clarinet in the 40's.50's,60's and beyond. There were a few others who played modern clarinet but none could match Mr. DeFranco. This album isn't called "Mr.Clarinet!" for nothing! It features Buddy DeFranco's working band with Kenny Drew on piano, Milt Hinton on bass and the dynamic Art Blakey on drums. The repertoire is a well chosen mix of standards plus originals by DeFranco and Drew. This is Jazz at it's best!

Gordon takes a look at alto saxophonist Jackie McLean. McLean grew up in an area of New York surrounded by legendary figures like Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker and soon to be legends like Sonny Rollins and Kenny Drew. The first segment takes a look at some of the legends like Charlie Parker, Bud Powell and Dexter Gordon who would have a huge influence on McLean as well as Jackie’s first recordings with Charles Mingus and Miles Davis. In the second segment, Gordon looks at the evolution of McLean’s music as he makes the move from bebop and hard-bop to modal jazz in the early-1960s. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harold Floyd Brooks, better known as "Tina" (a nickname that he was given because of his small size is a corruption of "Teeny" or "Tiny") was one of the sadder stories in Jazz music. This well respected musician broke into the big time Jazz scene in 1958, after years in anonymous r&b and Latin bands, on a famous recording date with organist Jimmy Smith called "The Sermon". Brooks distinctive sound and blues inflected approach was like no other and Blue Note head honcho Alfred Lion took to Brooks and recorded 4 great sessions with Tina. The only problem was that Lion only released one. The others were never issued until long after Brooks' death in 1974. Brooks only recorded for Blue Note (with one exception) as a sideman and leader from 1958 to 1961. After 1961 he never recorded again. Because of an addiction to hard drugs and general physical dissipation, he stopped playing by the late 60's and died in ill health and abject poverty in 1974. Tonight in celebration of what would have been Brooks' 78th birthday, The Jazz Show is presenting one of his classic recordings. This album was advertised, sequenced, mastered and given a number but never issued. "Back To The Tracks" is a beautiful representation of New York Jazz in the early 1960's before the changes wrought by Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane and others moved the music in a new and different direction. Brooks' strong, lyrical and intense horn is heard at it's best and the band is a stellar all-star group. Along with Brooks on tenor saxophone, there is Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Arthur Taylor on drums plus on one long track, a cameo appearance by alto saxophone master Jackie Mclean. Happy Birthday to Tina Brooks, who finally got some of the recognition he warranted when he was still alive.Tina brooks was born on June 7,1932 in Fayetteville, North Carolina and died on August 13,1974 in New York.

Trumpeter, Kenny Dorham was called "the uncrowned king" by drummer Art Blakey and it was indeed true. Kenny was a musician's musician and always seemed overshadowed by others. In the 40's it was Dizzy, Miles and Fats Navarro from his generation and in the 50's it was Chet Baker and Clifford Brown who got the critical acclaim and in the 60's the attention was upon Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. It was Kenny Dorham's lot to always be an also-ran. Musicians knew his value and immense talent but the critical fraternity overlooked Dorham. He was a nice man who put music first and was ego free and modest. Perhaps this was the reason for his position in the Jazz life. Dorham was not only and talented trumpeter but played fine piano and sang and was a fine composer. It was only after his passing in December of 1972 that his value began to be recognized.......a sad story in the Jazz world.The Feature is one of Dorham's great recordings and rather than record one of the bands he was leading at the time, Kenny picked an all-star group of his favourite players including tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, who suffered some of the same treatment as Dorham by the critical establishment. Kenny Drew is on piano, Paul Chambers is on bass and the great drummer, Philly Joe Jones drives the band with taste and swing. The album was recorded by Blue Note in January 1961 and not only has great playing by all concerned but displays seven very interesting compositions by Kenny, showing his knack for writing. "Whistle Stop" is a classic and stands at the top of choice recordings by this gifted musician.

This classic begins The Jazz Show's tribute to the 70th anniversary of Blue Note Records. This album has been written about so extensively that it needs no elaboration here. This was Mr. Coltrane's only recording for Blue Note under his name and he was given carte blanche to pick his musicians and as was Blue Note's policy......paid rehearsals before recording the tunes. Coltrane wrote four of the five compositions and played a beautiful standard, Kern and Mercer's "I'm Old Fashioned". The band consisted of Coltrane on tenor saxophone with the young 19 year old Lee Morgan (who almost steals the show on the title track), Curtis Fuller on trombone, Kenny Drew on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and the great Philly Joe Jones on drums. An overused word to be sure but a classic is the only way to describe this session.
