The jazz standard "All The Things You Are" has been performed countless times by master jazz vocalists, 30s big bands, bebop small groups, hard-bop combos, modern deconstructionists, and even soon-to-be Kings of Pop. On this episode, Kirk takes listeners through the history of the now-famous tune, from its humble Broadway origins all the way to his recording studio in Portland, where he and some friends recorded an all-new arrangement just for Strong Songs.Music/Lyrics: Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein IIVersions Featured:Broadway Original Cast Recording of "Very Warm for May," - 1939Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra, feat.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a very fine album by boss trumpeter Blue Mitchell. Mitchell was a mainstay in pianist Horace Silver's Quintet for 4 1/2 years and grew to maturity in that band. His style is devoid of showy pyrotechnics but with a sharp precise tones and a lyrical melodic concept. He's one of the few trumpeters who could sustain interest for a whole album without another horn like a saxophone. Blue is ideally paired here with piano great Wynton Kelly and they are perfect for one another and reflect the pure joy of making music. Blue and Wynton are backed superbly by bassist Sam Jones and drummer Roy Brooks. The tunes are standards and a few original compositions by Blue and others. This is one of the most enjoyable albums as it's easy on the ears. Blue's Moods...tonight's Jazz Feature.

Seven musicians, two recordings, five songs: musical magic. This week marks the 65th anniversary of “Kind of Blue,” the iconic album recorded and performed by a young group of talented rising stars – John Coltrane, Julian “Cannonball” Adderly, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb and Wynton Kelly – before they were jazz legends, all under the leadership of the visionary trumpeter Miles Davis. “Kind of Blue” remains a treasured classic recording and is still selling copies, still taught in music classrooms, still covered by jazz musicians and still deconstructed by cultural critics. So why has Kind of Blue endured as the top classic jazz album for 65 years? We speak with three jazz experts to learn more about the revolutionary album.

Underappreciated alto sax player Ernie Henry's last recordings before his premature death in 1957. . .featuring his Octet (with Lee Morgan, Melba Liston, Benny Golson and Cecil Payne), quintet (with Kenny Dorham) and quartet - also the Kenny Dorham Quartet . . groups including Wynton Kelly, Kenny Drew, Wilbur Ware, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones and Art Taylor --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support

Di Wes Montgomery Jazz Anthology si è occupata solo una volta, nella puntata del 11 dicembre 2017 (disponibile in podcast), dedicata alle incisioni in quartetto dei Mongomery Brothers. Ma Montgomery, nato nel 1923 e morto molto prematuramento per un attacco cardiaco nel 1968, è stato uno dei personaggi più popolari del jazz della sua epoca, e un gigante della chitarra jazz. L'etichetta Craft Recordings ha voluto celebrare il centenario della nascita di Montgomery, e assieme anche il settantesimo anniversario della nascita della Riverside, l'etichetta creata nel '53 che pubblicò l'album di Montgomery Full House, allestendo The Complete Full House Recordings, recorded 'live' at Tsubo - Berkeley, California, disponibile in triplo Lp o in doppio Cd. La carriera di Montgomery decollò nel '59, quando su suggerimento di Cannonball Adderley il produttore Orrin Keepnews lo mise sotto contratto per la Riverside. Nel '62 Keepnews lo mandò in California a realizzare un album dal vivo, appunto Full House, registrato in un club di Berekeley. Full House è un album importante, per il livello dei partner (il "piccolo - per statura fisica - gigante" Johnny Griffin al sax tenore, e Wynton Kelly al piano, Paul Chambers al contrabbasso e Jimmy Cobb alla batteria, che negli anni precedenti erano stati la ritmica di Miles Davis), e perché ci presenta Montgomery dentro una dimensione jazzistica non ancora canalizzata nella formula - brani di successo interpretati in chiave jazz - degli album per la Verve e la A&M degli anni successivi, che avranno un grosso riscontro anche commerciale. Oltre all'album originario, The Complete Full House Recordings offre tutte le tracce alternative disponibili, e anche la traccia del brano Full House con l'assolo di Montgomery che nel Full House inserito nel disco fu invece sostituito dalla produzione con un altro assolo del chitarrista.

Tonight an iconic recording and a classic. Tenor saxophone master John Coltrane and his seminal recording "Giant Steps". Coltrane performs here with a hand picked quartet with the magnificent Tommy Flanagan on piano who with his light touch and lyricism provides a perfect foil for Coltrane's intensity. Coltrane's favorite bassist is here...Mr. P.C. aka Paul Chambers and drum great Arthur Taylor whom Coltrane liked for his tough swing and great cymbal ride. All the compositions are by Coltrane and they cover the gamut of feelings from blasting intensity to the soft ballad styling of "Naima" dedicated to Mrs. Coltrane to the playfulness of Syeeda's Song Flute, for his daughter.. All of this was recorded in New York for Atlantic Records on May 8, 9,1959. "Naima" was from a later recording date with Coltrane, Wynton Kelly on piano, Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Coltrane chose the sequence of tunes and liked this later version of Naima and chose it for the album. That's it...tonight's Jazz feature: "Giant Steps".

Tonight`s Jazz Feature honors the Birthday Anniversary of John Arnold ``Johnny`` Griffin 111 who was born on April 24,1928 in Chicago and died from a heart attack at his home on Mauprevoir, France on July 28,2008. He played his last gig on July 21, 2008 at age 80, so he was playing right up to the end. This album was considered one of his finest under his name at the time and was recorded in New York in August 1959. Rather than a quartet date or a jam type date this one was well planned. Norman Simmons, a wonderful pianist/composer arranger also from Chicago scored the date and brought in 3 of his tunes as well. It was a sextet date with Richard ``Blue`` Mitchell on trumpet, Julian Priester on trombone, Wynton Kelly on piano, Sam jones on bass and Albert ``Tootie`` Heath on drums.``The Little Gian`` stands the test of time and is tonight`s Jazz Feature. Happy Birthday Anniversary Johnny!

Chicago born John Arnold Griffin 111 is better known as simply Johnny or in some cases "The Little Giant." Griffin was and is one of the major voices of the tenor saxophone. He emigrated to New York in late 1956 and was soon causing musical excitement in the Big Apple. He recorded his first Blue Note album and it was getting lots of play and in early 1957 he joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. He was doing sideman record dates as well. Tonight's Jazz Feature is his second Blue Note date and it's basically a jam type date with long tunes and plenty of solo time for all. Griffin requested this and it was agreed upon by Blue Note boss Alfred Lion. Griffin picked the young trumpet sensation still in his teens, Lee Morgan. Hank Mobley and John Coltrane were his other tenor saxophone partners. The rhythm section was powerful with Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Griffin's boss, Art Blakey on drums. Two standard tunes were played and two Griffin originals comprised the date and everyone had a chance on all of these tunes to show their stuff. Unlike many blowing jam type sessions, the level was top notch on this one. This is Jazz at it's best.....in other words: the real deal! A Blowin' Session, tonight's Jazz Feature.

Tonight`s Jazz Feature is one of the few albums under his name that he recorded despite the fact that master drummer Arthur Taylor was on literally hundreds of recording sessions in the 50`s and 60`s. He played with everyone of note from Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk et al. The Jazz Feature album is called `A.T.`s Delight` and it is one that Art Taylor was proud of. He selected the tunes and picked the personnel. First up is the underrated and under recorded trumpeter Dave Burns. On tenor saxophone is a young up and coming star, Stanley Turrentine. On piano is Wynton Kelly and Taylor`s favorite bassist, Paul Chambers. Where heard is the great conga player Carlos `Patato` Valdes, he is on some tunes. The set is a good one beginning with Coltrane`s `Syeeda`s Song Flute` followed by Thelonious Monk`s `Epistrophy` and that is followed by the up tempo `Move`. Trumpeter Kenny Dorham was commissioned by Art Taylor to write two tunes for this date and the first is called `High Seas`. Following this one is a Taylor composition reflecting his Caribbean heritage called `Cookoo and Fungi` (a West Indian dish). The final tune is the second Dorham composition called `Blue Interlude`. Taylor was happy with this date done at RVG Studio on August 8, 1960 and you will be too when you hear it.....`A.T.`s Delight`.

"Kind Of Blue" de Miles Davis es el título en que se centra este episodio, donde revisamos la importancia de esta obra, los músicos participantes en ella y su influencia para la escena del jazz de la época, entre otros aspectos.

Nardis es un standard del jazz moderno compuesto por Miles Davis. Escuchemos al autor, varias versiones de Bill Evans, a Cannonball Adderley, George Russell, Joe Henderson, Ralph Towner, Cyrus Chestnut y otros. Erratum: en el primer ejemplo, en virtud de un lapsus, se dice que el pianista es Wynton Kelly, cuando debe decir Bil Evans.

Tonight the Jazz feature spotlight is on a sadly neglected and forgotten great voice of the tenor saxophone: Walter Benton. Walter after touring with Latin bandleader Perez Prado Walter returned to his home town of L.A. and freelanced there until he decided to move to New York in 1960. Here he joined Max Roach and his band and achieved a higher profile. He was asked to do an album for Jazzland Records, a division of Riverside Records run by the indominable Orrin Keepnews. This album is our Jazz Feature but sadly Walter Benton's only album under his name. Walter was given carte blanche and he picked a young Freddie Hubbard on trumpet for the front line and Miles Davis' rhythm section for the rest with Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums for the first session and Albert "Tootie" Heath replacing Cobb for the second session a few days later. This fine album has 5 good original compositions by Walter and two fine standards beginning with the title track "Out of This World" and Walter's ballad feature "Lover Man". The highlight is Walter's smoky sounding saxophone and his authoritative concept. Walter was a distinctive and original player who deserved much more recognition and opportunities than he received but I'm very happy to share this fine album with you as our Jazz Feature tonight.

This is our first Jazz feature into short-lived Jazz groups for the month of May. The Pepper-Knepper Quintet only made one album and it existed for a short time playing a few venues and concerts in New York City in 1958. Pepper Adams is one of the great masters of the baritone saxophone and Jimmy Knepper is one of the finest and most distinctive of the modern Jazz trombonists. They met while playing the occasional gig with Charles Mingus and became friends and musical colleagues. They decided to form a band and fortunately they were heard on one of their rare gigs by producer and Jazz critic Leonard Feather and he arranged to have them recorded. Adams chose the ideal rhythm section in Wynton Kelly on piano and organ on one piece, Doug Watkins on bass and the great Elvin jones on drums. The compositions are by Adams and Knepper and one by producer Leonard Feather plus a couple of Ellington ballads make this album a fine one and sadly this little band's only date. Here it tonight as our Jazz Feature!

Tonight for the month of March, The Jazz Show's Jazz Features will be albums that are one of a kind. Mostly albums by fine musicians that only had one recording issued in their lifetime. This was in no way that these players were second rate but simply circumstance and the vagaries of the Jazz recording business. Ron Jefferson is a case in point. He was a fine and in demand drummer who really increased his profile when he moved to Los Angeles from his home town of New York in the late 1950's. Jefferson became a founding member of one of the most popular bands of the time, Les McCann Ltd. (pianist Les McCann's trio).. Jefferson was given the opportunity to record under his name and leadership and he produced this fine album that was issued on World Pacific Records. Jefferson chose well, Lawrence "Tricky" Lofton on trombone and tenor saxophonist Wilbur Brown blend beautifully. Both Lofton and Brown are lesser known names but prove their worth here. An emerging star here is a young Bobby Hutcherson in prime early form. On piano was "the Wynton Kelly of L.A.", Frank Strazzeri and the great Leroy Vinnegar on bass. Ron Jefferson picked the music and plays for the band and does not hog the spotlight. "Love Lifted Me" is a fine ,solid and varied album which deserves an airing. That happens tonight on our Jazz feature!
