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.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a tribute to tenor saxophonist/composer/bandleader Benny Golson. Benny was one of the real shining lights on the Jazz of the 50's, 60's,70's and right up to the present. He passed away peacefully at age 95 at his home in New York. He was born in Philadelphia on January 25, 1929 and dies on September 21, 2024. Benny grew up in the Jazz rich atmosphere of Philadelphia and associated with the Heath brothers, John Coltrane, Lee Morgan, Philly Joe Jones, Ray Bryant and so many others. He composed some eternal Jazz standards like "I'll Remember Clifford", "Stablemates", "Whisper Not", "Along Came Betty" and so many others. He developed his skills in R&B bands and Tadd Dameron's band, Dizzy Gillespie's big band of the 50's and then Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, He then formed The Jazztet with trumpeter Art Farmer and later moved to L.A. and wrote for TV and movies and returned to active Jazz playing in the 80's and right up until his passing. Tonight's Jazz feature is one fine date called "Benny Golson and The Philadelphians" with an all Philadelphia cast including the young phenomenon Lee Morgan on trumpet, Ray Bryant on piano, Percy heath on bass and the great Philly Joe Jones on drums. It was done in December 1958 and released originally on United Artist Records. It's a fine presentation of Benny's organizing talents, his playing and writing and arranging. In tribute to Benny Golson tonight!

The virtually forgotten Ernie Henry was considered to be possibly the most accomplished alto sax player in Bebop after Charlie Parker. His career was cut short by addiction and ill health, but he made numerous recordings, including these with James Moody (including Art Blakey, Cecil Payne, Dave Burns and James Forman) and Tadd Dameron (with Fats Navarro and Charlie Rouse) for Blue Note and Savoy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support

Rudy Williams was a journeyman sax player who stylistically crossed between swing and bebop. The son of legendary/notorious bandleader Fess Williams and the cousin of Charles Mingus, Williams is here heard on alto sax with a pickup group put together by Baron Timme Rosenkrantz in 1939 (with Don Byas, Tyree Glenn, Rex Stewart, Russell Procope, Billy Kyle, Walter Page and Jo Jones), the Savoy Sultans (his regular band from 1937-1941 or so), a Don Byas group (with Charlie Shavers and Clyde Hart), Tadd Dameron's Sextet (with Fats Navarro, Allan Eager, Kenny Clarke and Curly Russell), Bennie Green's Sextet (on baritone, with Teddy Brannon and Lockjaw Davis) and the Howard McGhee Korean All-Stars (on tenor, with J.J. Johnson and Skeeter Best). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support

Harlan Leonard played lead alto sax for Benny Moten from 1924-1931 and then started his own band with Thamon Hayes. By 1939 Leonard had taken it over completely and had developed a group on the tradition of Moten and Basie, but with progressive tendencies demonstrated by the first arrangements of Tadd Dameron and outstanding playing by tenor saxophonist Henry Bridges and particularly trombonist Fred Beckett, who was cited as an important influence by J.J. Johnson later . . --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support

The answer is: CODA is the acronym for “Child Of Deaf Adult”. The film was based on the French film The Belier Family and is about the one hearing child (her brother is deaf) born to a deaf couple. In the French version, the actors were played by hearing people, but in the American version, the actors were deaf – which is, of course, far better.    The winners are: Sharifun Islam Nitu, a member of the RFI Amour Fan Club in Rajshahi, Bangladesh; Mahesh Jain, the president of the RFI Club Delhi in Delhi, India; Debakamal Hazarika, the president of the United RFI Listeners Club in Assam, India, and Ferhat Bezazel, the president of the RFI Butterflies Club Ain Kechera in West Skikda, Algeria.

We are continuing this month of March with one-off and rare recordings and tonight's Jazz feature is just that. Not too much is known about the leader, tenor saxophonist Joe Alexander except he was originally from Birmingham, Alabama but spent most of his playing career in Cleveland, Ohio where he found steady work. His only other recorded appearance is on Tadd Dameron's album "Fontainebleau" from 1956.. This album called "Blue Jubilee" is Joe's only recording under his name. Joe recorded this in June of 1960 while he was on a short tour of duty with Ray Charles' band. Joe and equally obscure trumpet player John Hunt teamed up. John was a long time player with Ray Charles. Joe and John are backed by an all-star rhythm section made up of Bobby Timmons on piano, Sam Jones on bass and Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums. Blue Jubilee turns out to be a fine solid Jazz album that presents two rather obscure players in the best light. Sadly this album never was issued domestically on CD but can be found on the European Fresh Sounds label. Enjoy a rare treat on tonight's Jazz Feature.

Every musician owes a debt of gratitude to those who have been an inspiration or influence to them. For vocalist Vanessa Rubin, some of those mentors include the likes of Frank Foster, Barry Harris, Carmen McRae, and Tadd Dameron. She released an album featuring the music of Mr. Dameron… “The Dream Is You.” Of course, she shares more than just a musical connection with him; in fact, both of them called Cleveland, Ohio, home.

[1] Cofundó el Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club , uno de los clubes de jazz más populares del Reino Unido, en 1959. Ronnie Scott nació en Aldgate , East London , en una familia judía. Su padre, Joseph Schatt, era de ascendencia rusa, y la familia de su madre Sylvia asistió a la sinagoga portuguesa en Alie Street. Scott asistió a la Fundación Central Boys 'School . Scott comenzó a tocar en pequeños clubes de jazz a la edad de 16 años. Su reclamo a la fama fue que "el suegro de Vera Lynn le enseñó a tocar". Estuvo de gira con el trompetista Johnny Claes de 1944 a 1945 y con Ted Heath en 1946. Trabajó con Ambrose , Cab Kaye y Tito Burns . Estuvo involucrado en la cooperativa banda y club Club Eleven de músicos de corta duración (1948–50) con Johnny Dankworth . Scott se hizo conocido del arreglista / compositor Tadd Dameron , cuando el estadounidense trabajaba en el Reino Unido para Heath, y se informa que actuó con Dameron como el pianista, en un concierto de Club Eleven. Scott fue miembro de la generación de músicos británicos que trabajaron en el transatlántico Cunard Queen Mary de forma intermitente desde 1946 hasta alrededor de 1950 para visitar la ciudad de Nueva York y escuchar la nueva forma de jazz llamada bebop en los clubes de allí. Scott fue uno de los primeros músicos británicos influenciados por Charlie Parker y otros músicos de jazz moderno. En 1952, Scott se unió a la orquesta de Jack Parnell y de 1953 a 1956 dirigió una banda y quinteto de nueve integrantes que incluyó a Pete King , con quien luego abrió su club de jazz, Victor Feldman , Hank Shaw y Phil Seamen . Co-dirigió The Jazz Couriers con Tubby Hayes de 1957 a 1959 y fue líder de un cuarteto que incluía a Stan Tracey (1960-67). De 1967 a 1969, Scott fue miembro de la Big Band Kenny Clarke / Francy Boland , que recorrió Europa e incluyó a Johnny Griffin y Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis . Simultáneamente, dirigió su octeto, que incluía a John Surman y Kenny Wheeler , y un trío con Mike Carr en los teclados y Bobby Gien en la batería (1971–1975). Las otras bandas de Scott a menudo incluían a John Critchinson en los teclados y Martin Drew en la batería. Hizo un trabajo de sesión ocasional, que incluyó tocar el solo en " Lady Madonna ", el sencillo de 1968 de los Beatles , tocar en la partitura de Roy Budd para la película Fear Is the Key (1972) y tocar el solo de saxo tenor en " I Missed Again ", el sencillo de 1981 de Phil Collins . Charles Mingus dijo de él en 1961: "De los niños blancos, Ronnie Scott se acerca al sentimiento del negro y azul, como lo hace Zoot Sims ". [9] Scott grabó con poca frecuencia durante las últimas décadas de su carrera. Sufría de depresión. Mientras se recuperaba de una cirugía para implantes dentales, murió a la edad de 69 años de una sobredosis accidental de barbitúricos recetados por su dentista. La viuda de Ronnie Scott, Mary Scott, y su hija, Rebecca Scott, escribieron las memorias A Fine Kind of Madness: Ronnie Scott Remembered , con un prólogo de Spike Milligan. El libro fue publicado en 1999 en Londres por Headline Book Publishing. Scott es quizás mejor recordado por su cofundación, con el ex tenista de saxo tenor Pete King , Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club , que abrió el 30 de octubre de 1959 en un sótano en 39 Gerrard Street en el distrito Soho de Londres , con el debut de un joven alto El saxofonista llamado Peter King (sin relación), antes de mudarse a un lugar más cercano en 47 Frith Street en 1965. El lugar original continuó operando como el "Old Place" hasta que el contrato de arrendamiento se agotó en 1967, y fue utilizado para actuaciones de la nueva generación de músicos nacionales. Scott actuó regularmente como el genial Maestro de Ceremonias del club, y se destacó por su repertorio de bromas, comentarios y frases ingeniosas. Una introducción típica podría ser: "Nuestro próximo invitado es uno de los mejores músicos del país. En la ciudad, es una mierda". Otro anuncio memorable fue: "La próxima semana estamos orgullosos de tener un cuarteto con Stan Getz y el violinista Stuff Smith. Se llama el" Cuarteto relleno de Getz ". Ronnie solía usar en los últimos días los servicios de John Schatt para reservar bandas de rock para Ronnie. Scott está arriba. Después de la muerte de Scott, King continuó dirigiendo el club durante otros nueve años, antes de venderlo al empresario de teatro Sally Greene en junio de 2005. En septiembre de 2013, mientras se redecoraba el club, se colocó un acaparamiento de 12 metros cuadrados en la fachada de la calle Frith como un homenaje a su fundador homónimo, con una fotografía gigante de Ronnie Scott por Val Wilmer , junto a una de su legendaria -liners: "Me encanta este lugar, es como estar en casa, sucio y lleno de extraños". Además de participar en orquestas de nombre, Scott dirigió o co-dirigió numerosas bandas con algunos de los músicos de jazz más destacados de Gran Bretaña del día. JAZZ ACTUALIDAD .-Esta semana vamos a tener al contrabajista Ander Garcia Trio con su álbum “AMAHIRU” Cuando los ingredientes son sobradamente conocidos, tendemos a pensar que los resultados también serán los habituales. Y aunque a menudo es así, cuando esos mismos ingredientes caen en manos de un artitsta valiente, obstinado y brillante como Ander Garcia la sorpresa puede ser mayúscula. Y este bello y excitante nuevo trabajo que se presenta bajo el nombre de Ander Garcia Trio sin duda lo es. En ese sentido, son especialmente destacables sus discos en solitario “Ttun Kurrun” y “Hiru”, ampliamente aclamados por la crítica especializada. Pero en el caso que nos ocupa, el del trio que forma junto al piano de Jorge Castañeda y la batería de Mikel Urretagoiena, nos encontramos con el Ander Garcia mas explorador y aventurero. En este proyecto Ander utiliza las métricas y melodías de ancestrales bailes y bersos euskaldunes para desarrollar sus improvisaciones, y al mismo tiempo los moldea y adapta a nuevos contextos musicales creando un espacio de intercambio limbre entre ellos. De este modo el ritmo de la ezpata dantza se convierte en danza latinoaméricana, y partiendo del de los zortzikos llega a un híbrido rítimico absolutamente contemporáneo y desconocido, o se lanza a llevar el ritmo del tamboril a la batería para diseccionarlo en un abánico de variantes deslumbrante. Las oportunidades para la sorpresa son infinitas en este disco.

Benny Golson, le Messager du Jazz   Benny Golson dans le Terminal de Steven Spielberg.   Qui peut se targuer d'avoir connu John Coltrane à 16 ans ? Travaillé avec Lionel Hampton et Dizzy Gillespie ? Avoir été le directeur musical des Jazz Messengers, et joué son propre rôle dans un film de Steven Spielberg ? Vous, non ? Et bien Benny Golson, oui ! Saxophoniste de premier ordre, ténor au son généreux et velouté, Golson a traversé l'histoire du jazz sans faire de vagues… Et pourtant ! Derrière son air de gentleman, jamais avare d'anecdotes sur la vie des musiciens de jazz, se cache un homme déterminé et un immense compositeur. Car si l'histoire retiendra à coup sûr le nom de Benny Golson, c'est qu'il a signé une poignée de standards parmi les plus beaux du jazz moderne: Blues March, Along Came Betty, Whisper Not, I'll Remember Clifford ou encore Killer Joe. Et alors que le saxophoniste fête ses 90 printemps, il nous semblait évident de partir sur les traces de cet homme qui a dit un jour: “J'ai deux femmes: le saxophone et la composition… Je suis aussi infidèle à l'une qu'à l'autre, et je les aime toutes les deux…”   Etagère n°6… Boite n°5… Dossier BG1929… Benny Golson, le messager du jazz.

This week's episode of WNPM is about Philly Joe Jones, one of the most prolific drummers in jazz, best known for his time in Miles Davis first great quintet.  Featuring tracks from his work with Tadd Dameron, John Coltrane, Miles, Freddie Hubbard, and as a bandleader in his own right. 

This week I focus on bebop, starting with some soloists: Charlie Christian, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey, then focus on some composers: Tadd Dameron, Thelonious Monk, and Clifford Brown.  

Mike leads us back, back, back into the wilds of pre-LP jazz as we discuss Bud Powell, Mary Lou Williams, and Tadd Dameron. Then Pat goes and ruins it with a selection from Ferit Odman, who at least had the decency to keep it all-analog.

As this is Jazz Festival month, The Jazz Show is presenting some classic live performances by the greats in concert or in clubs and we'll continue this until the end of the month. Expect to hear tonight: Charles Mingus, Tadd Dameron and His Band with Fats Navarro, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk with a Big Band, Art Blakey with Clifford Brown and much more.

This is a Birthday celebration to one of our great living Jazz Masters. Today (January 25) marks the 87th Birthday of tenor saxophonist/composer/arranger and Jazz Master Benny Golson. Golson has been a part of Jazz history since breaking into the bands of Tadd Dameron, Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and then forming his own groups along with his important band The Jazztet with trumpeter Art Farmer. Tonight's Jazz Feature is an album that features his mellifluous tenor saxophone playing unfettered by complex arrangements hence the album's title..."Free". Golson is heard here with the "poet of the piano", Tommy Flanagan, bassist Ron Carter and the ubiquitous Arthur Taylor on drums. Two Golson originals are on this set and an intriguing original by obscure pianist Will Davis called "Sock Cha". The rest of the six tunes are made up of good quality standards. "Free" is a testament to the wonderful playing of Benny Golson who somehow combines the sound of his early mentors, Don Byas and Lucky Thompson with his very modern concept. No one sounds like Benny and a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Golson!

O.K. so maybe I could have dug even deeper, but hopefully you'll appreciate that with the birth of my twin boys, crate diggin' time is limited, so recourse to few old favourites in this selection. Nevertheless it's not exactly obvious unless you're one of those chin stroking jazz snobs. I'd been wanting to do a kind of "pure" jazz show for a while, the criteria could have been even more stringent, I could have outlawed all electric instruments, but I did want to keep some variety. I can't remember the last time I played something from the Riverside label on the show, so slipping a couple into the first half hour was kind of satisfying, great tunes from Jimmy Heath and Clifford Jordan. Then there's vocals, a scat masterclass from Jon Hendricks, Ann Young tearing up a standard and The Metronomes with silky smooth harmonies. I also decided to do a mini Prestige feature.... what's the difference between Blue Note and Prestige, a day's rehearsal.... yes it is the kind of ugly sister of classic jazz labels, more "blowing dates" less recording sessions. Yet of course there are some awesome titles in the Prestige catalogue, Frank Wess' "Southern Comfort" is certainly one of those, soul-jazz with a Latin twist and really punchy well balanced recording. As always the mellow meltdown in the middle is fun to do, it's what radio's for in my opinion. Listening to Duke Pearson's Sweet Honey Bee album again for the first time in ages, the beauty of "After The Rain" left me quite astounded, Pearson was the quintessential Blue Note artist, he acted as an A&R man for Alfred Lion, and composed the timeless "Cristo Redentor" for which he should be duly honoured as it is one of the most beautiful melodies of all time. "After The Rain" comes close to that peak of sublimity. Continuing the rainy theme the Masabumi Kikuchi composition "Drizzling Rain" from his album with Gil Evans is just as beguiling, with a Japanese lyricism, a kind of Jazz haiku. "En Passant" performed by West Coast stalwarts Shelly Manne ands His Men is an early composition by the great John Williams from U.S. tv series Checkmate, Williams' list of film credits is ridiculous , probably the most successful composer of the twentieth century? All that instrumental grace is followed by a trio of vocal cuts with a morning theme....lushness from Carmen McRae, the brilliant Lorez Alexandria, and Andy Bey ripping some conscious flavour through Gary Bartz NTU Troops leftfoot jazz-funk. Closing the show the last sequence gets lowdown and funky, and a bit abstract! Drums and basslines, a touch of James Brown in Roy Haynes' "Guadalupe", and some electronic undertow in Julian Priester's " Love Love" which I played just a portion of as it covers a whole side. Shame that I only squeezed a the first bit of Monette Sudler's "Brighter Days For You" as it takes me back to my early days of The Cosmic Jam all those years ago.... still love it, and the title says it all.

This great band was based in San Francisco and was the brain child of tenor and soprano saxophonist Mel Martin who organized this band in the early 1980's. Mel is a well known teacher,lecturer,and a player who among others has worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Benny Carter and so many others plus pop groups like Azteca, Tower of power and Cold Blood. Mel picked some of the very best players in the Bay Area like the great John Handy on alto saxophone. John had worked with Charles Mingus and Randy Weston and led his own groups and was an icon in San Francisco by the time this record was made in February 1984. Warren Gale is on trumpet and Gale should be more widely recognized as he is a great player with a healthy brassy sound. George Cables is on piano and there isn't much more to say about a guy who is one of the world's greatest piano players. Frank Tusa from the east coast had played with Dave Liebman's Lookout Farm and the late Eddie Marshall on drums had worked with just about everyone in the Bay Area. Two of the tunes are by Mel Martin (the opener and the closer) one is a wonderful arrangement of Tadd Dameron's "On a Misty Night". Frank Tusa wrote one. Eddie Marshall also wrote one and Mel Martin arranged two great tunes by Thelonious Monk called "Evidence" and "Monk's Mood". Bebop and Beyond is a great band and deserves to be heard so here it is!

One of Jazz music's greatest drummers was Joseph Rudolph Jones who was better known as "Philly Joe" Jones to distinguish him from the older drummer who was associated with Count Basie: Jo (Jonathan) Jones. One of Philly Joe's last major projects was organizing a 10 piece band to play and revive the music of one of the most important composers in Jazz: Tadd Dameron. The band was called "Dameronia" and recorded two fine albums for the independent Uptown label. One has just been re-issued on CD and has won many accolades this year as "Re-issue of The Year". It was recorded in 1983 and features along with Philly Joe, who was one of Dameron's closest friends, many people who had worked with Tadd. Tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin is one of the prominent soloists but others are heard to good advantage like pianist Walter Davis Jr.,baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne, alto saxophonist Frank Wess, trombonist Benny Powell and others. The original Dameron arrangements were collated by trumpeter Don Sickler who was a great help to Philly Joe in putting this project together. This is a great tribute to Tadd Dameron, who not only was one of pioneers of Modern Jazz but one of it's greatest composers who should be mentioned along with Monk, Mingus and Ellington. Enjoy Dameronia!

Charlie Rouse, the underrated tenor saxophonist, was one of the great individual stylists on his horn and he rose to fame as Thelonious Monk's saxophonist. He was with Mr. Monk for eleven years. Red Rodney was with Charlie Parker for three years in the early 1950's. Rodney and Rouse joined up in 1984 for this fine session of good Jazz tunes and one standard. They picked an excellent rhythm section in the persons of the late Albert Dailey on piano, Cecil McBee on bass and a young Kenny Washington on drums. Trumpeter/arranger Don Sickler wrote some fine arrangements for the horns and made them sound like a 'working' band. Tunes by Tadd Dameron, Gigi Gryce and Miles Davis etc. make up the repertoir. "Social Call" is a minor classic by two great, legendary musicians.....Charlie Rouse and Red Rodney.
