Nat Adderley WORK SONG Nat(cornet), Wes Montgomery(guitar), Bobby Timmons(piano), Sam Jones or Ketter Betts(cello or bass), Percy Heath(bass), Louis Hayes(drums) Riverside / Original Jazz Classics 1960 / 1989 Notes: "This is an album with a sound you are guaranteed not to have heard before, featuring a distinctive and fascinating front-line blend in which the melody instruments --- the three "horns", you could say---are cornet, guitar and cello! Admittedly, the search for 'new sounds' in modern Jazz has sometimes led to little more than arbitrary and contrived novelty effects. But on the other hand, when all the ingredients are right the result can be just such a musically valid and excitingly different 'new sound' as Nat Adderley has come up with here.-- Orrin Keepnews work song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqUd7gXxqmcmy heart stood still https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyhGSG33xfsmean to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KyJ2mSlzbUI've got a crush on you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIYfFHmslNgsack of woe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg3DBpFjGJQCheers |

Louis Armstrong AMBASSADOR SATCH Louis Armstrong(trumpet & vocal), Trummy Young(trombone), Edmond Hall(clarinet), Billy Kyle(piano), Arvell Shaw(bass), Barrett Deems(drums) Sony / Columbia 1955 / 2000 Playable on SACD players only Notes: "This is a souvenir -- recorded on the spot -- of Louis Armstrong's concert tour of western Europe in the fall of 1955." "In Louis Armstrong, America never had a more widely beloved ambassador because "Satchmo the Great" was, and to a great extent still is, the essence of Jazz. It was Armstrong (1901-1971) who, more than any other improviser placed the spotlight on the soloist; he also invented virtually single-handedly, the very notion of "Jazz singing," and was the warmest of all show business personalities."

Questions to The Frogman
On one of the Cannonball postings, I noticed that one tune was listed as (Take 12). What should we make of that? That they kept playing it until they got it ’right’? Does that mean the higher the ’take’ number, the better the performance? Does the ’take’ number become part of the name of the tune? In other words, if that performance was used later on another disc, would it still be listed as (take 12).
also
Is the order in which the tunes appear on the CD / LP of any significance?
Thanks

Alvin Batiste LATE Alvin Batiste(clarinet), Kenny Barron(piano), Rufus Reid(bass), Norman jackson(drums) Sony / Columbia 1993 Notes: "Alvin Batiste is a prime example of the many unheralded creators of Black-American music. As an educator, he is acclaimed as a major force in the evolution and development of New Orleans Jazz and multi-ethnic music programs...Born in New Orleans, his music education began when his father brought home a clarinet in a gym bag which he had purchased from a pawn shop."
Born: November 7, 1932, New Orleans, LA
Died: May 6, 2007, New Orleans, LA

Mario Bauza & his Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra MY TIME IS NOW Messidor Musik 1993 Notes: "As Dizzy Gillespie explained it >>When the Cubans came to the U.S., they came up here with 3/8, 6/8, 3/4, 2/4. It was very difficult for us to play that music. We were always playing 4/4. We didn't do much 2/4. We played waltzes in 3/4. Cuban music was difficult to play because the didn't have a bass drum to keep you together...They didn't pat their feet. You can get lost. Even when you're playing you can get lost."

George Benson BREEZIN' Warner Bros 1976 / 2000 Notes: "Besides leading his own bands, Benson has worked and recorded with an impressive roster of outstanding artists who are as varied in esthetic sensibility as saxophonists Hank Crawford and Stanley Turrentine, singer Esther Phillips, and trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis. His playing, though, has always been distinguished by a good feeling and high energy that are his alone."

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers THREE BLIND MICE VOL.1 Freddie Hubbard(trumpet), Curtis Fuller(trombone), Wayne Shorter(tenor sax), Cedar Walton(piano), Jymie Merritt(bass), Art Blakey(drums) Blue Note 1962 Notes: "...The Jazz Messengers moved further away from the funky approach that gave them such hits as "Moanin'" and "Dat Dere" and into the forefront of the most intricate modern Jazz. When these men wrote for the group, it was not a simple matter of an AABA structure in 4/4. They were starting from scratch structurally, harmonically and rhythmically to create awesome pieces. What made the miracle complete was that Blakey drove them with a vengeance, making every shift and change without ever disturbing the swing or velocity." 'These men' refers to newcomers Walton and Hubbard, plus Fuller and Shorter.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers THREE BLIND MICE VOL.2 Notes: "Soon after this live recording, Merritt was replaced by Reggie Workman and the sextet signed with Riverside where it made three excellent sessions. They returned to Blue Note in February of '64 and recorded the ferocious, majestic FREE FOR ALL. In May, Lee Morgan returned to replace Hubbard and the band recorded INDESTRUCTIBLE. Within months, this extraordinary ensemble would disband and Blakey would leave Blue Note permanently as a recording artist."

roxy54,
I don't have 'White Rabbit', but the reviews indicate its one I should get. Like I said before, Benson seems to be all over the place musically, but I seem to like his more pop oriented music. So, the singing is just fine with me, although he is not much of a singer, it suits his music. Captures a certain era when pop and Jazz got close enough to touch sometimes. Wes Montgomery and Al Jarreau come to mind.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers ALBUM OF THE YEAR Art Blakey(drums), Wynton Marsalis(trumpet), Bill Pierce(tenor Sax), Robert Watson(alto sax), James Williams(piano), Charles Fambrough(bass) Impulse 1981 / 1988 Notes: "This edition of the Jazz Messengers reminds me of Blakey's virtuoso units of the early 1960s. Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, barely 20 years old, evokes the role played by Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard. His substantial, clean sound adds brilliance to ensemble passages and (as evidenced in the powerhouse "In Case You Missed It"), he has the technical facility to gobble up the changes at any tempo Blakey can muster. His concise solo on Charlie Parker's "Cheryl" shows a keen awareness of form, structure and dynamics."

Art Blakey & The Jazz messengers MOSAIC Blue Note 1961 / 1987 Notes: " 1961 was an eventful year for Art Blakey. It was the year of his most triumphal tour overseas--a memorable trip to Japan....At one concert in Tokyo no less than 17 ambassadors attended, according to Art. The type of audience reached by Art and his men in Japan, the sensitivity of the reaction, and the economic success of the tour, made the return home seem sadly anticlimactic. "We've played a lot of countries," said Art, "but never before had the whole band been in tears when we left."
