Podcasts about New York Jazz

Liv Solveig erinnert sich noch ganz genau an den Moment, der ihr Leben prägen sollte: Im Alter von zwei Jahren hörte sie ihre Cousine Geige spielen – "grottenschief, aber ich fand es wunderschön", erzählte sie unlängst bei ihrem Besuch im studioeins. Das wollte sie auch, und nervte ihre Eltern so lange, bis diese ihr drei Jahre später ihr erstes eigenes Instrument schenkten, "eine Sechzehntelgeige. Das war wirklich eine Spielzeuggeige, mini-mini-mini." Inzwischen ist Solveig, die nach dem Erlernen des Geigenspiels in New York Jazz studierte, nicht nur eine gefragte Live- und Studiomusikerin, die bereits mit Alin Coen, Max Prosa, Annett Louisan, Tristan Brusch und der Crucchi Gang zusammenarbeitete. Auch ihr Debütalbum "Slow Travels" erntete 2021 viel Lob. Weil sie seitdem so viel auf Tour war, fehlte ihr die Zeit, neue Songs zu schreiben, also wandte sie sich für ihre am 21.3. erschienene neue EP "Nordic Coastline" zunächst einigen "Slow Travels"-Liedern zu, die sie neu arrangierte und um komplett von ihr selbst eingespielte Streichersätze erweiterte – und so ihre ganz besondere Stimmung zwischen Melancholie und Weite noch verfeinerte. Damit gibt sie zugleich einen Vorgeschmack auf den Sound ihres für später im Jahr geplanten zweiten Albums – erfreulicherweise hat sie also irgendwie zwischen all den Terminen doch noch Zeit gefunden, neue Musik zu komponieren.

With his new memoir ‘Formation - Building a Personal Canon, Part I' hitting bookshops, and a new collaborative album with the tenor Ian Bostridge released this week, the American Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau joins Kate Molleson to discuss his childhood in small town New England, his forays into the New York Jazz scene of the 1990s, his encounters with kind musical heroes and future collaborators, and what it means to be a musician. Telling the story the 18th-century “Irish giant” Charles Byrne, whose corpse was stolen to order and put on public display, Kate speaks to composer Sarah Angliss about the World Premiere of her new opera Giant at this year's Aldeburgh Festival. She explains how she's treating this surprisingly tender tale of grave robbing and dissection. As Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month gets under way, Music Matters learns about a new project to highlight the invaluable recorded collection of gypsy and traveller voices archived within the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library. We speak to the University of East Anglia's Dr. Hazel Marsh about the impetus to make collections, housed at the English Folk Dance and Song Society, more accessible to Gypsy and Traveller people seeking engagement with their cultural heritage, and hear from the Scottish Traveller Ian McGregor. Celebrating two decades of music making with Les Siècles, Kate hears from conductor François-Xavier Roth as he prepares to tour with the orchestra to the Barbican, Edinburgh International Festival and BBC Proms. With new albums of works by Ravel and Ligeti about to be released this month, too, he tells Kate about the energy of discovery which drives the ensemble's prolific recording activity, and why performance needs to be dangerous.

A native of eastern Pennsylvania, JD Walter's past, present, and future has always embodied music. From church Boy choirs at the age of six to the American Boy choir school in Princeton to the University of North Texas on a vocal jazz scholarship, Walter has become a pioneer of improvisation and electronic innovations in the world of jazz. His recording career spans 20 years and his purist progressive approach to jazz music has been recognized worldwide. After extended studies in Amsterdam with Jazz vocal Icon, Deborah Brown, Walter returned to the U.S. and embedded himself in the New York Jazz scene.

The latest album, released on February 7, 2020, testifies to his personal progression as an evolving artisan and provides an intimate, inventive collection of standards and originals. “Dressed in a Song,” produced by Walter and Grammy-winning producer and A&R executive Al Pryor, features piano and vocal duets and trios with veterans and up-and-comers alike, including Jim Ridl, Orrin Evans, Jean-Michel Pilc, Marc Cary, Taylor Eigsti, Julius Rodriguez, Ben Wolfe, Obed Calvaire, and Becca Stevens. Over the decades, Walter has performed as a featured artist at numerous American jazz clubs and festivals in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Central America as well as over 80 tours in Russia. He remains a regular in the New York music scene, and has headlined at Dizzy's Lincoln Center, The Jazz Standard, The Blue Note, and The Jazz Gallery, among other venues. He has shared the stage with legendary artists, ranging from Dave Liebman, Billy Hart, Tom Harrell, Eddie Gomez, Bob Dorough, Nicholas Payton, Ben Monder, Sean Jones, Jean-Michel Pilc, Bill Evans, Mark Murphy, Greg Hutchinson, Ari Hoenig, Randy Brecker, Tim Warfield, Jim Ridl, Orrin Evans, Seamus Blake, Igor Butman, Nasheet Waits, Craig Handy, Boris Kozlov, Robin Eubanks, Eric Revis, Billy Drummond, Christian McBride, Adam Nussbaum.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a fine album by the "welterweight champion of the tenor saxophone", Hank Mobley. The music typifies New York Jazz of the mid-50's and is timeless and always contemporary sounding. The people involved are Mobley and trumpeter Bill Hardman who was working at the time with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Paul Chambers and ace drummer Arthur Taylor. What makes this session very special in the presence of alto and tenor saxophonist Shafi Hadi (born Curtis Porter). Hadi's unique style on both horns makes this session one of a kind.. It is also the only known recording outside of the Charles Mingus fold by Hadi. Hadi was with Mingus from 1956 to 1958 and is on almost all of Mingus' records of that time. Hadi essentially disappeared from the playing and recording scene after 1959. So anything by him is valuable and as this one is a non-Mingus date, it is important. So it's the Hank Mobley Sextet with Shafi Hadi tonight as our Jazz Feature.

  Mike Jeffers and special guest vocalist Jd Walter talking about his new recording "Dressed in a Song" where he performs with 6 of his favorite piano players and mixture of original compositions and well known songs. JD also discusses how he developed his sound and improvisational style at the UNT College of Music and studying with Deborah Brown. Thanks to the Epiphany Center for the Arts.   About JD Walter A native of eastern Pennsylvania, JD Walter’s past, present, and future has always embodied music. From church Boy choirs at the age of six to the American Boy choir school in Princeton to the University of North Texas on a vocal jazz scholarship, Walter has become a pioneer of improvisation and electronic innovations in the world of jazz. His recording career spans 20 years and his purist progressive approach to jazz music has been recognized worldwide. After extended studies in Amsterdam with Jazz vocal Icon, Deborah Brown, Walter returned to the U.S. and embedded himself in the New York Jazz scene. It was in New York, surrounded by visionaries of jazz, where he began to organically develop his liberated, vibrant style that turned him from straight-ahead to progressive jazz singing. Walter’s recordings include, "Dressed in a Song", “Sirens in the C-House,” “Clear Day,” “Dedicated to You,” “2Bass, a Face and a Little Skin,” “Live in Portugal,” “Live at the 55 Bar,” “One Step Away,” and Guest appearances on over 100 recordings. While recording his most recent album, “Dressed in a Song,” a life-threatening health scare and subsequent heart and vocal cord surgeries kept Walter out of the studio and off the road for several years. The latest album, released on February 7, 2020, testifies to his personal progression as an evolving artisan and provides an intimate, inventive collection of standards and originals. “Dressed in a Song,” produced by Walter and Grammy-winning producer and A&R executive Al Pryor, features piano and vocal duets and trios with veterans and up-and-comers alike, including Jim Ridl, Orrin Evans, Jean-Michel Pilc, Marc Cary, Taylor Eigsti, Julius Rodriguez, Ben Wolfe, Obed Calvaire, and Becca Stevens. Over the decades, Walter has performed as a featured artist at numerous American jazz clubs and festivals in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Central America as well as over 80 tours in Russia. He remains a regular in the New York music scene, and has headlined at Dizzy’s Lincoln Center, The Jazz Standard, The Blue Note, and The Jazz Gallery, among other venues. He has shared the stage with legendary artists, ranging from Dave Liebman, Billy Hart, Tom Harrell, Eddie Gomez, Bob Dorough, Nicholas Payton, Ben Monder, Sean Jones, Jean-Michel Pilc, Bill Evans, Mark Murphy, Greg Hutchinson, Ari Hoenig, Randy Brecker, Tim Warfield, Jim Ridl, Orrin Evans, Seamus Blake, Igor Butman, Nasheet Waits, Craig Handy, Boris Kozlov, Robin Eubanks, Eric Revis, Billy Drummond, Christian McBride, Adam Nussbaum. Walter currently resides in New York and teaches privately and abroad at The Prince Claus Conservatory in Groningen, Holland, The Jazz and Music School in St. Petersburg, and the Music Wave School in Moscow.

In a simpler time, Ayelet Rose Gotleib dropped by the Gateway to discuss her lifelong love and commitment to Improvisational avant grade singing. Trained as a classical flautist in Israel, she fell in love with composition and singing as a teenager and met Arnie Lawrence a well established New York Jazz musician who was living in Jerusalem at the time. His guidance and support helped stimulate a generation of Israeli improvisational jazz players and set Ayelet further on her path. Ayelet and Howard talk about the difference between their respective versions of improvisational singing. They also discuss the singers that most inspired her at the beginning of her artistic development and Howard embarrasses himself by reviewing his limited knowledge of Israeli music. Lastly Ayelet shares a bit of her process in creating her most recent project "Who Has Seen The Wind?"

Walter Davis Jr. was a pianist of major stature who had been unfairly overlooked. He appeared on many Blue Note dates but only made this one called "Davis Cup". This wraps up our month long series of Jazz Features that spotlighted artists who only made one album under their name for Blue Note. Walter was a classically trained pianist who was influenced by Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk but brought his own concept to the table. He was also a fine composer of hip. hummable and melodic tunes.This album represents to this writer a summing up as it were of New York Jazz before it changed with the arrival of Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Eric Dolphy etc. This is a well planned and well-rehearsed date and 6 of Walter's compositions are featured. The people involved are hand picked by Walter and represent his favorite players, Donald Byrd is on trumpet and the great Jackie McLean is on alto saxophone. The blend of Byrd and McLean has always been one of the best combinations. On bass is the mighty Sam Jones and on drums is the ubiquitous Arthur Taylor. "Davis Cup" hits the ball over the net ever time and every tune! Walter Davis Jr. packed a lot of music into his 57 years when he was with us and this album is a delight.

This album was the debut date for this creative young trombonist/composer: Grachan Moncur 111. Grachan had apprenticed with bandleaders Nat Phipps and Ray Charles and Art Farmer and Benny Golson's Jazztet before plunging headlong into the more adventurous side of the New York Jazz scene with alto saxophonist Jackie McLean who in the early 60s was looking at some new ways to express himself. Pioneers like Ornette Coleman, Bill Dixon, Cecil Taylor had opened new doors in Jazz and other musicians like Grachan Moncur were embracing that influence. Moncur along with the late Roswell Rudd were the new voices of the trombone in the early 60s. Moncur had another ace up his sleeve as he was a fine composer with an open imagination. This album called "Evolution" is his first and was released on Blue Note as that label had opened the door to the new sounds of the 60s as well. Grachan picked alto saxophonist Jackie McLean and trumpeter Lee Morgan as the horns and Morgan sounds amazing here in this context. Bobby Hutcherson's vibes add to the free sounds and Bob Cranshaw's bass keeps everything grounded. The teenage drum sensation Anthony "Tony" Williams is as usual creative and adds a great deal to the success of this date. Only four tunes are contained on this session and they are all Moncur creations. The exciting "Air Raid" leads of followed by the mournful, moody "Evolution" to "The Coaster" which has a fetching melody and hard swing. Finally a tribute to Thelonious Monk called "Monk in Wonderland" wraps things up. Grachan Moncur and his music is in the spotlight as tonight's Jazz Feature...check it out!

Aquesta setmana "T'agrada el blues?" proposa dos discos acabats d'apar

Tonight's Jazz Feature is all about some of the "keepers of the Jazz flame". These five talented gentlemen are some of the busiest and most active people on the New York Jazz scene.They are all internationally known and all of them are leaders on their individual instruments. They play in other bands but they all come together as they do on this disc and make some significant music. This album recorded just last year in June of 2016 is a fine example of the kind of playing that reflects the advances in Jazz but adheres to it's noble traditions such as swing, melody and an overall feeling of the blues. "That Feelin'" is the name of the album and the players are: organ master Mike LeDonne, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, alto saxophonist Vincent Herring, guitarist Peter Bernstein and the always swinging Joe Farnsworth on drums. Nine great tunes cover the spectrum of sound here and the tunes range from the challenging first cousin to Coltrane's "Giant Steps" in Donald Byrd's "Fly Little Bird Fly" to Ray Brown's "Gravy Blues" to Natalie Cole's "This Will Be Everlasting Love". Sit back and enjoy some real Jazz by some of the living and youthful great on today's scene.

By Curtis Killian | February 10, 2016 When Donny McCasslin '88 and his jazz quartet were enlisted by David Bowie H'99 to record as the backing band for what became his 25th and final album Blackstar, stylized as ★, the Grammy-nominated saxophonist, composer and bandleader was ready for the moment. "David encouraged us to try anything and everything that we heard," McCaslin says on the three weeks he spent working with Bowie and his longtime producer Tony Visconti early last year, recordingmostly live with his group (keyboardist Jason Lindner, drummer Mark Guiliana and bassist Tim Lefebvre). "He said something to me in the beginning like, Donny, I don’t know what’s gonna happen with this but let’s just have some fun." A fixture of the New York Jazz scene for nearly thirty years, McCaslin has worked as bandleader and as sideman for the likes of Steps Ahead, Maria Schneider Orchestra and professor fellow alumnus Gary Burton '62, who he began touring with his senior year. "Being at Berklee and thrust into this world where the boundaries of music or styles were pretty fluid, that was really a great experience to help me to broaden my musical language," McCaslin says, a dexterity clearly displayed through his various contributions on Blackstar as musician, bandleader and orchestrator. "I’m grateful to have been able to be in that space for a prolonged amount of time in relation to the jazz world," McCaslin says. "The joy on David’s face when we would have that take and felt it, everybody was feeling that it was the take and seeing the joy on his face was very moving to me. It was beautiful." In this episode of Life After Berklee, just weeks after the album's release and shock of Bowie's death, McCaslin shares insight into the recording process and how he and his jazz quartet from New York City became David Bowie’s final backing band. https://www.berklee.edu/news/podcast-donny-mccaslin-88-david-bowie

J.R. Monterose is certainly not a household name in Jazz music but he is one of the important tenor saxophonists who was in New York in the md-50s during the Jazz boom. Monterose was born in Detroit but raised in upstate New York in Utica and paid his dues in various big bands and by the mid-50s was heard on recordings by vibist Teddy Charles and bass master Charles Mingus. Monterose worked off and on with Mingus from 1954 to 1956 when he appeared on a famous and important Mingus recording called "Pithecanthrophus Erectus". Soon after he left Mingus and joined trumpeter Kenny Dorham's short-lived band called "The Jazz Prophets" and it was from a live recording with Dorham that Monterose came to the attention of Blue Note's head honcho Alfred Lion. Lion gave Monterose his first opportunity to record under his own name and this great recording is the result. J.R.'s hard-hitting tenor saxophone dominates and his partner, Chicago legend Ira Sullivan provides a great foil with his fast crackling trumpet. The rhythm section is one of New York's finest and was picked by J.R. specially for their astuteness and deep groove. Horace Silver on piano, the great Chicago bassist Wilbur Ware and the dynamic drummer Philly Joe Jones. The tunes are three by J.R., one by trumpeter Donald Byrd, one by bassist Paul Chambers and a hip original by drummer Philly Joe Jones. All in all this was one great debut recording and a perfect example of New York Jazz from the 1950s. J.R. Monterose!

Lou Donaldson is one of the true living masters of the alto saxophone and one of the last living disciples of Charlie Parker. Lou built his unique style based on Bird's concepts. This album is untypical of Lou's output as it is essentially a jam session type blowing date and it was even unusual for Blue Note to produce these types of dates but this one is exceptional! There are only four tunes here and they all give room for everyone to "stretch out". Lou is heard of course on alto saxophone and Donald Byrd, one of the great clear toned lyric voices is heard on trumpet. Curtis Fuller is masterful on trombone here and the legendary Sonny Clark is on piano. Jamil Nasser (aka George Joyner) is a barrel of strength on bass and Arthur Taylor shows us why he was one of the most oft-recorded drummers during this period. The date was done on December 15,1957 and typifies New York Jazz at it's best. Lou Takes Off!

This underrated master of the trombone is still with us at age 80 and for this we are grateful! This date done in 1960 was Julian Priester's first under his own name. Priester is from Chicago and like so many Chicago legends, he graduated from DuSable High School in the Jazz program conducted by Captain Walter Dyett. Julian first worked with Sun Ra then Lionel Hampton and ended up in New York at the right time. He was heard as a sideman and then offered this date for Riverside Records. Julian picked his sidemen wisely and had tenor saxophone giant Jimmy Heath on the front line. Tommy Flanagan was chosen for the piano spot. The great Sam Jones was on bass and the dynamic Elvin Jones was on drums. The tunes are a good mix of originals and quality standards and the album has a nice balance. "Keep Swingin'" is reflective of the high standards of New York Jazz in the early 60s. Julian went on to work with many people including Max Roach, Duke Ellington and Herbie Hancock but that's for another time, meanwhile we'll keep swingin'!

Louis Smith briefly burst on the New York Jazz scene in the late 1950s. He recorded two magnificent albums for Blue Note(the second is the Jazz Feature tonight) and appeared as a sideman on several more for Blue Note and United Artists. He also was briefly a member of Horace Silver's Quintet replacing the departing Art Farmer. However for Louis and his family, security was important and the New York Jazz life was a risky business even back in the 50s. Smith, who had a university degree took a teaching post at The University of Michigan plus an extra gig teaching at high school in Ann Arbor. He didn't record again until 1978 and continued until early 2001. A stroke ended his playing career in 2006 but he still teaches and mentors young players in the Detroit area. Tonight's Jazz Feature is Smith's second date for Blue Note in March 1958. It's a solid, swinging date with a great cast with pre-Monk Charlie Rouse who is on fire here on tenor saxophone with a powerhouse rhythm section with Sonny Clark on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Arthur Taylor on drums. Several Smith originals and heard plus a couple of standards and a Charlie Parker tune called "Au Privave". This is a solid representation of Louis Smith's great talents and Jazz music as it was in swingin' New York in the 1950s.

This feature has a large orchestra playing music composed and arranged by Oliver Nelson who not only conducts the orchestra but is heard with others on alto and tenor saxophones. The 7 part suite is a depiction of the history of African/American people from their origin in Africa to their arrival in the USA as slaves, their emancipation and all the triumphs and tribulations ending in the optimistic part 7 called "Freedom Dance". Nelson put together the cream of the crop of New York Jazz players for this project in September and November 1961.It is a credit to producer Esmond Edwards and Prestige Records that this huge project was realised. The music tells a great story but is also great Jazz and it is a tribute to Oliver Nelson who was able to tell this musical story. Afro/American Sketches is a quite masterpiece.

Grachan Moncur 111 is one of the lesser known but important figures on the New York Jazz scene in the mid-60's when new ideas and concepts were emerging and musicians were finding new ways to create and improvise. Moncur was an educated young man and experienced playing for four years with Ray Charles and a year with The Jazztet led by Art Farmer and Benny Golson and touring also with Sonny Rollins. Moncur's skills as a trombonist with his own concept emerged on this recording and he definitely was NOT a J.J.Johnson clone. His writing skills are evident on the four selections that make up this date. The personnel here include four people who recorded and worked gigs together under the leadership of alto saxophone master Jackie McLean. Along with McLean and Moncur are two emerging stars in the persons of vibist Bobby Hutcherson and drum genius Tony Williams who was 18 years old at the time. Bob Cranshaw is on bass and he is great in any context.However the real star here is trumpeter Lee Morgan who is not ever thought of in a context such as this but proves himself to be open-minded and totally responsive to the music and shows his great range of expression. The four compositions heard here are all Moncur's and they reflect different moods and show his range of expression. Everybody here is on top of things and inspired by Moncur's music and exhibiting fresh musical ideas. "Evolution" was Moncur's recording debut and it was issued on Blue Note and is a modern classic in every sense of the word.

Pianist/composer Freddie Redd occupies a small but important place in Modern Jazz. A self-taught and resourceful musician, Freddie Redd worked hard throughout the 1950's to establish himself on the New York Jazz scene. His breakthrough came when he signed with Blue Note Records and recorded his "Music For The Connection" with his quartet. The Connection was an off-Broadway play put on by The Living Theatre that was about drug addicts and featured Freddie's band in playing and speaking roles. It had a long run. The recording was highly praised and sold very well. This record is for this writer Freddie Redd's masterpiece and was his second Blue Note date. It features his quintet playing all Freddie's great compositions. The playing is superb and the band is tight. All of Freddie's tunes have substance and it's a shame that Blue Note didn't promote this recording very well as it soon became a collector's item. The people involved are Jackie McLean on alto saxophone, Tina Brooks on tenor saxophone, Paul Chambers on bass, Louis Hayes on drums and of course Freddie Redd on piano. Mr. Redd told this writer that this was his favourite recording of his own wok and was very proud of this date. Check out "Shades of Redd".....it reall is a masterpiece!

  Quickly becoming one of the most buzzed about jazz singers on the New York scene, Marianne Solivan does not remember an “ah-ha” moment that brought her to the music she has devoted herself to: “I don’t recall having a big moment that made me like jazz. I just dug it.” A year before entering New England Conservatory and graduating with a Master’s degree in Jazz Studies.

Legendary pianist Sonny Clark was a known entity on the Jazz scene for about 9 years. His life was snuffed out by drug addiction and he died in January 1963 at age 31. Originally from a small town near Pittsburg, Clark moved to Los Angeles for a few years and began recording in early 1953. In L.A. he joined clarinetist Buddy DeFranco and toured the US and Europe and became better known. Returning to his base in LA, Clark began to get restless and wanted to return to New York where the action was happening. He took a gig with singer Dinah Washington and got back to The Big Apple. He left Dinah and immediately began working with Sonny Rollins and also signed with Blue Note records. Despite his drug problems, Alfred Lion, the head of Blue note, loved Sonny Clark and gave him many opportunities to record as a sideman and leader.The Feature album is one of Sonny's classics in that it has such a stellar cast: John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Donald Byrd on trumpet, Paul Chambers on bass and Arthur Taylor on drums. This recording was done a few weeks after Coltrane's famous "Blue Train" date and three of the participants are here with Clark. Three great standards, arranged by Clark are presented and two distinctive Clark originals. I think you'll agree that "Sonny's Crib" is a classic and typifies the best of New York Jazz from the mid-50's.

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.

This is considered to be Clifford Jordan's debut album. His earlier appearance on the Blue Note label was a co-led two tenor saxophone session with John Gilmore. This rare recording has never had a domestic re-release but was first issued as Blue Note 1565 and called "Cliff Jordan". It features the very distinctive sound of Jordan's tenor saxophone with the young teen-aged trumpet sensation Lee Morgan on three tracks. Curtis Fuller on trombone and Jordan's high school classmate, the legendary alto saxophonist John Jenkins. Ray Bryant is on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Arthur Taylor on drums. The first two tunes are without Morgan and then tune #3 is a composition by Lee and was his first recorded tune called "Ju-Ba". The full band is featured on the final two tunes, Jenkins reworking of Miles Davis' "Milestones" (the early version) and an up=tempo interpretation of one of the day's pop tunes called "Beyond The Blue Horizon". Clifford Jordan spread the chores out wisely and came up with a very representative album of New York Jazz from the mid 1950's. This fine recording deserves a domestic re-issue in stereo. It's a fine tribute to the artistry of the late Clifford Jordan, who passed away in 1993.

J.R. Monterose (Frank Anthony Monterose Jr.) was a very individual stylist who was very much in evidence on the New York Jazz scene in the mid-50's. J.R. worked with vibist Teddy Charles and bassist Charles Mingus but came to the attention of Blue Note's owner, Alfred Lion because of his work with trumpeter Kenny Dorham's short-lived band "The Jazz Prophets". Lion gave Monterose his chance and J.R. became the first Caucasian musician to have his own 12' LP. It's a good one and a minor classic. Hard driving and swinging...Monterose brings his slashing, stacatto tenor to the fore with his front line partner, the versatile Ira Sullivan who can play anything with valves or keys but restricts himself to some stunning trumpet work here. The great rhythm section is in tune with Monterose's ideas and backs both horns with a drive and swing that's unequalled. Horace Silver on piano, the wonderful Chicago born, Wilbur Ware on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums build fires under the horns. This formally rare recording is now available on Blue Note's RVG Series and it's good to have it back in circulation again. The album represents some of the best Jazz of the 50's by two musicians who were part of the real Jazz core. J.R. Monterose stands as one of the great individualists of the tenor saxophone and Ira Sullivan, who is still alive is not far behind. There are three Monterose compositions on the set and one by trumpeter Donald Byrd, one by bassist Paul Chambers and one by drummer Philly Joe Jones.
