No real theme to today's show, just music I have been listening to this past week. We start with classic fusion (1975) from Return To Forever with Chick Corea and conclude with West Coast jazz with drummer Shelly Manne. In between, we have modern jazz, mostly released in the last year.

Where jazz drumming's concerned, sometimes Blakey makes ya shaky and Buddy's too thud-y. Where to turn? Go West, young man, and samples the wares of one Shelly Manne. Manne, a transplanted Easterner, made a career in California logging studio work, appearing on countless sessions, and leading his own group with varying personnel that was always know as Shelly Manne's men. Now, just in time for Record Store Day, Reel to Real is issuing live days by the Manne and, with luck, bringing his artistry back into our consciousnesses. Stay cool, cats! Shelly Manne: MUSIC FROM MY FAIR LADY; 2,3,4; JAZZ FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST; Sonny Rollins - WAY OUT WEST.

Alto saxophonist Frank Strozier remains one of the great underrated masters of his horn. He was born in Memphis and came up with his friends, George Coleman, Harold Mabern, and the great Booker Little. After Memphis he moved to Chicago and attained several university degrees and began building his reputation as a prime voice on the alto. He later moved to New York and played with many important people like Miles Davis and drummer Roy Haynes. Later moving to Los Angeles he worked in the studios and performed Jazz with Oliver Nelson's Band and Shelly Manne's groups among others. He returned to New York in 1973 and continued to record under his name and appear as a sideman until the mid-80's when he stopped playing the saxophone and flute and did some gigs playing piano, . He also taught ischool until he retired. Strozier is still alive. He was born in Memphis on June 13,1937 and as of now he's be 86.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a one time meeting of two great Jazz stars. They knew one another but never played together and were brought together by the producing genius of Norman Granz. Granz was one of the great entrepreneurs of Jazz. Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz was one of the major voices of that instrument and vibraphonist Lionel Hampton was one of the pioneers of that instrument and had been prominent since the early 1930s. Creative sparks flew on this session and the combination of Getz and H Hampton worked beautifully. The rhythm section was made up of people who worked with Getz throughout most of 1955 and Lou Levy is on piano, Leroy Vinnegar is on bass and the drummer is the magnificent Shelly Manne. The repertoire is a collection of good standard tunes, a ballad medley and two up tempo burners. Enjoy this classic one time get together from August 1, 1955. Hamp and Getz!
Great small groups using Woody Herman's musicians (Conte Candoli, Bill Harris, Flip Phillips, Billy Bauer, Tony Aless, Arnold Fishkind, Dave Tough, Shelly Manne, Mel Zelnick, Frank Socolow and Emmett Carls) and some guests including Howard McGhee and Denzil Best. These sides are on the cusp of Bebop, done for Keynote, Prestige and Esquire in 1945, 47, 48 and 49. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support
Another salubrious and soulful show by Blind Mango Chutney, featuring legends such as Ramsey Lewis, Chet Baker, Pat Metheny, Jack Wilkins, Shelly Manne and more.
Giovedì 7 settembre Sonny Rollins compie 93 anni: si è da tempo ritirato dall'attività, ma continua a rilasciare interviste sempre molto lucide e interessanti. Come quella raccolta nel 2021 da Ashley Kahn che correda, assieme a note appunto di Kahn, il cofanetto Go West! (tre Lp o tre Cd o in digitale) da poco pubblicato dalla Craft. Nel marzo del '57 Sonny Rollins, 26 anni, arriva a Los Angeles con il gruppo di Max Roach: se non la prima è una delle prime volte che prende l'aereo per un ingaggio, ma è certamente la sua prima volta in California. Ne approfitta la Contemporary, l'etichetta del produttore Lester Koenig, che propone a Rollins, talento emergente, di incidere un album, che uscirà nell'estate del '57 col titolo di Way Out West: con Ray Brown e Shelly Manne ad accompagnarlo, è la prima registrazione di Rollins in trio sax/contrabbasso/batteria, la formula che sarà poi quella dell'epocale Freedom Suite incisa da Rollins un anno dopo. Nell'ottobre del '58, Rollins a Los Angeles registra con una formazione più ampia un altro album per la Contemporary, Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders: sarà la sua ultima incisione degli anni cinquanta, perché poi Rollins, che patisce la pressione che è il risvolto del suo successo, ma che constata anche le difficoltà subito insorte nella sua carriera per aver fatto un disco "politico" come la Freedom Suite, decide di prendersi un periodo sabbatico, nel corso del quale si esercita al sax sul Williamsburg Bridge. I due album sono adesso riproposti nel cofanetto della Craft assieme ad un terzo album, costituito da interessanti tracce alternative che erano già state pubblicate nell'86 ma che ormai da moltissimo erano fuori catalogo. Tre dischi da ascoltare - e da accompagnare con la lettura dell'intervista con i ricordi di Rollins sulle due incisioni - per festeggiare degnamente il compleanno del grandissimo Sonny.
„The Pink Panther“ е комедия с мистериозен елемент, в която главен герой е непохватният френски полицай инспектор Жак Клузо. Розовата пантера не е никаква пантера, а название на много рядък и голям по размери диамант. В центъра на този диамант, търсен навсякъде, има дефект, който при по-сериозно вглеждане в камъка отблизо създава илюзия за подскачаща розова пантера. Жак Клузо е натоварен със задачата да намери крадец на бижута, у когото се предполага, че е скъпоценният камък. Камъкът сменя притежателите си няколко пъти, докато накрая се оказва у самия инспектор Клузо. В началото на филма има кратка анимация, придружена от култовата основна музикална тема на филма. Композитор на тази култова мелодия е Henry Mancini (Хенри Манчини). Тогава той е вече утвърден автор на филмова музика в САЩ. Една от първите кинопродукции, по чиято музика работи, е „The Glenn Miller Story“, който споменахме в епизода за „Otchi Tchor-Ni-Ya“ на Луис Армстронг. Сътрудничеството между режисьора Blake Edwards (Блейк Едуардс) и композитора Хенри Манчини е едно от най-добрите в историята на киното, наред с тези на Алфред Хичкок и Бърнард Хърман, Стивън Спилбърг и Джон Уилямс и Тим Бъртън и Дани Елфман. Блейк и Манчини работят заедно повече от трийсет години, започвайки още през 1959 година с хитовия сериал „Peter Gunn“ (Питър Гън). Двамата работят съвместно по общо двадесет и шест филма. От „Питър Гън“ се ражда друг голям музикален хит на Манчини, но за него ще разкажем друг път. Хенри Манчини пише темата към филма „The Pink Panther“ за конкретен саксофонист. Това е Plas Johnson (Плас Джонсън). Както и сам споменава в интервюта, той винаги пише музика, мислейки много за това кой точно ще я изсвири. Манчини сглобява цялото произведение върху свиренето на конкретен инструменталист. А Джонсън вече е участвал в музиката за „Питър Гън“. Освен Джонсън на тенор саксофон, другите музиканти в записа са китариста Al Hendrickson (Ал Хендриксън), пианиста Jimmy Rowles (Джими Роулъс), басиста Rolly Bundock (Роули Бъндоук), Shelly Manne (Шели Ман) на барабаните, Ramon Rivera (Рамон Ривера) на акордеона и към тях още трима перкусионисти и по четирима души на тромпети, тромбони и саксофони. Саксофонистите свирят и на флейти. Общо биг бендът е от двадесет и един човека. Днес само трима от тях са живи и са над деветдесетгодишни. Към тази група има и струнен оркестър. Списъкът с участниците в групата не е еднакъв в различните официални източници. В повечето следващи саундтракове от поредицата за Розовата пантера саксофонист е не Джонсън, а Tony Coe (Тони Коу). В своята автобиография Манчини пише, че когато двамата аниматори, David DePatie (Дейвид ДеПати) и Friz Freleng (Фриц Фреленг или Фриз Фрийлинг според някои транскрипции), започват да работят по анимацията, той им обещава, че ще им даде музика, с която да може максимално добре да се изобразят движенията на крадеца на бижута. Иначе казано, темпото ще е такова, че ако искат да вкарат каквито и да било движения, дори и по-резки, да е възможно всяко от тях да получи и някакъв музикален акцент. Така и става. Резултатът е пълен синхрон между музиката и движенията и Манчини остава много доволен. Така всъщност Манчини пише музиката, преди да е гледал филма. Той разполага само със сценария, по който да изгради музикалните части. Но за сметка на това вече пет години работи доста успешно с Блейк Едуардс. Първоначалната идея на композицията е да върви, докато актьорът David Niven (Дейвид Нивън) в ролята на крадеца на бижута Charles Lytton (Чарлс Литън), се промъква на пръсти. Цялостното звучене е като за нещо тайнствено и опасно. Мелодията по уникален начин успява да обедини усещането за мистериозност с пакостливата същност на младия човек. Динамиката на саксофона сякаш улавя меките стъпки на криещият се крадец. С времето мелодията е въведена като начало на филма по желание на самия Дейвид Нивън.
Tonight's Jazz Feature is of course a classic and one of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' great recorded moments. It was a meeting with two great musicians that Sonny had never played with or met before the recording session! It could have been either a triumph or a disaster but of course it was a triumph and even the self-critical Mr. Rollins likes the results. It was beautifully recorded by Contemporary Records in Los Angeles while Sonny and bassist Ray Brown were in L.A. and with drum great Shelly Manne who had lived in L.A. for many years. It was a great meeting of musical minds. "Way Out West" celebrates Sonny's West Coast adventure with three tunes celebrating that trip. Johnny Mercer's "I'm An Old Cowhand" and the even older "Wagon Wheels" and Sonny's whimsical original called "Way Out West" plus some well chosen standards. It all made for one of Mr. Rollin's true classic album and it's tonight's Jazz Feature. Don't miss this one!
William Marcell, detto “Buddy”, Collette (classe 1921) è una figura di primo piano del jazz della West Coast. Affermato anche come compositore e arrangiatore, Collette è uno fra i rari veri multistrumentisti del jazz moderno, a suo agio ai vari sassofoni (alto e tenore innanzitutto), al clarinetto e soprattutto al flauto, di cui è uno dei maggiori specialisti in ambito jazz.Marcello Lorrai ne ripercorre la lunghissima carriera, mettendo in evidenza le innumerevoli collaborazioni (su tutte quelle con Chico Hamilton, che gli diede una prima notorietà, e Shelly Manne), i purtroppo rari ma preziosi dischi da leader (alcuni dei quali realizzati in Italia), il suo lavoro nel cinema e alla TV (fece parte del cast musicale del Groucho Marx Show), il suo impegno - nei difficili tempi del Maccartismo - per l'integrazione tra musicisti bianchi e neri e nelle lotte per i diritti civili.Completato con materiale registrato dal gruppo di Coltrane nell'ottobre del 1960, sessions dalle quali scaturiranno anche altri dischi quali “My favorite Things” e “Coltrane's Sound”, Coltrane plays the Blues può essere letto come un punto d'arrivo e al tempo stesso una sorta di addio ad un genere che tanto ha dato al jazz e allo stesso Coltrane ma che da quel momento non troverà spazio, se non marginalmente, nella ricerca di nuovi orizzonti musicali che il sassofonista stava per intraprendere.

Before his landmark Free Jazz album of 1960 Coleman recorded two albums for Contemporary (Something Else and Tomorrow is the Question) documenting his progress and evolution. With Don Cherry, Billy Higgins, Shelly Manne, Red Mitchell, Walter Norris, Percy Heath and Don Payne and the first recordings of "Lorraine" and "Tears Inside" - remarkably tonal music in the bebop tradition with some avante garde touches. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support

Dom Famularo teaches us about Billy Gladstone, Sanford A, Moeller, and George L. Stone - the godfathers of drumming technique. He also shares many great stories from his journey through learning from the students of these great teachers including Shelly Manne, Jim Chapin, and Joe Morello. The lineage of educators that run from these three men runs so much deeper than I ever imagined. This episode features one of my favorite Buddy Rich stories that I have ever heard. Dom got to hang out with Buddy and learn about his background as a young Vaudevillian who was on the road with Moeller, Stone, and Gladstone. Dom is known as "Drummings Global Ambassador" and he does that name justice. He can be found at any given time performing clinics around the world and spreading the love of drums to everyone he meets.

One of the most overlooked masters of the alto saxophone is Frank Strozier. Frank is still alive in New York but reclusive. Mr. Strozier was one of the many talented musicians who was born in Memphis. He came up with pianist Harold Mabern, tenor saxophonists George Coleman, Charles Lloyd and trumpeter Booker Little. Frank like most of these players moved to Chicago and graduated from the Chicago Conservatory of Music then made his way to New York. Frank was praised by none other than John Coltrane as "having one of the most advanced harmonic senses of any young player on the scene today". Frank worked briefly with Miles Davis and then with drummer Roy Haynes and then moved to Los Angeles where he played with drummer Shelly Manne and big bands led by Oliver Nelson and Don Ellis and did movie and studio work. He moved back to NYC in 1971 and soon began recording for the Danish based Steeplechase label. Tonight's Jazz Feature is his second date done in November 1977. It spotlights Frank on alto saxophone and also flute along with the great but little known trumpeter Danny Moore on some tunes. Harold Mabern is on piano and he sparks this session. The rhythm is premier: Stafford James on bass and the great Louis Hayes on drums. The title track of course is the Marvin Gaye classic arranged by Harold Mabern and begins the date on a high level. Another Mabern selection follows and then three compositions by Frank Strozier conclude this important Jazz Feature. Check it out tonight!
"Solitude" Sonny Rollins: Way Out West (Contemporary, 1957) Sonny Rollins, Ray Brown, Shelly Manne. El tema es una composición de Duke Ellington. ¿Sabías que? Way Out West fue una de las primeras grabaciones de Sonny Rollins en formato de trío de saxo tenor, contrabajo y batería. Otro disco célebre grabado en ese mismo año fue A Night At The Village Vanguard. Un formato que ha inspirado grabaciones a músicos como Branford Marsalis, Joe Henderson, Joe Lovano, David S. Ware o Joshua Redman. La foto de portada la tomó el famoso fotógrafo William Claxton. La selección del tema está inspirada en la entrada sobre este disco del melómano y escritor Gonzalo Aróstegui Lasarte en su blog Ragged Glory: https://raggedglory.blogspot.com/2022/04/way-out-west.html © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 En anteriores episodios de JazzX5/HDO/LODLMA/Maltidos Jazztardos/Tomajazz Remembers… https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=60482 Más información sobre Sonny Rollins https://sonnyrollins.com/ https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?s=sonny+rollins&submit=Search Más información sobre JazzX5 JazzX5 es un minipodcast de HDO de la Factoría Tomajazz presentado, editado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.

This album came about as a result of a gig Stan Getz had in Los Angeles at a high-end club called "Zardi's" in July 1955. Getz put together this ad hoc band of some of his favorite players living in L.A. and fortunately they were available of this long gig. The people were trumpeter Conte Candoli, pianist Lou Levy, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drum great Shelly Manne. The band gelled on the first night at Zardi's and as word got around the club did a land office business. It was decided at mid point of the gig to bring the band into the studio and record an album and this is it! Getz of course needs no introduction as he was one of the major voices of the tenor saxophone and unequaled in his flowing, melodic improvisation. He is at ease at any tempo and a great ballad player. The rest of the band is obviously inspired by Stan and this album was one of the best from this period. It was recorded on August 9 and 15, 1955. The title of the album is "West Coast Jazz" but that only refers to the fact that everybody at the time was living in L.A. They were all from somewhere else. The band has a New York kind of energy and flow. Enjoy Mr. Getz and co., tonight's Jazz Feature.
