Night Train - Steve Gossman Live at Gregory's Jazz Club
05/05/2008 : ***Steve Grossman Two Tenors Quintet*** Steve Grossman - Tenor saxophone Valerio Pontrandolfo - Tenor saxophone Alain Jean-Marie - Piano Paolo Benedettini - String basso Sangoma Everett - Drums Recorded 10, 11 April, 2008 at Gregory's Jazz Club - Rome, Italy http://www.gregorysjazz.com Video editing by http://www.michaelsupnick.com "Night Train" is a twelve bar blues instrumental standard first recorded by Jimmy Forrest in 1951. "Night Train" has a long and complicated history. The piece's opening riff was first recorded in 1940 by a small group led by Duke Ellington sideman Johnny Hodges under the title "That's the Blues, Old Man". Ellington used the same riff as the opening and closing theme of a longer-form composition, "Happy-Go-Lucky Local", that was itself one of four parts of his Deep South Suite. Forrest was part of Ellington's band when it performed this composition, which has a long tenor saxophone break in the middle. After leaving Ellington, Forrest recorded "Night Train" on United Records and had a major rhythm & blues hit. While "Night Train" employs the same riff as the earlier recordings, it is used in a much earthier R&B setting. Forrest inserted his own solo over a stop-time rhythm not used in the Ellington composition. He put his own stamp on the tune, but its relation to the earlier composition is obvious. Like Illinois Jacquet's solo on "Flying Home", Forrest's original saxophone solo on "Night Train" became a veritable part of the composition, and is usually recreated in cover versions by other performers. Buddy Morrow's trombone solo chorus from his recording of the tune is similarly incorporated into many performances. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Tr...(song)
Misty - Arnett Cobb 1982
17/01/2008 : Misty ? Arnett Cobb 1982This clip is from a concert in Berlin in 1982 featuring the original Texas tenor saxophonists. Arnett Cobb?s solo piece Misty is accompanied by pianist Wild Bill Davis, bassist Bernard Upsom and drummer Frankie Dunlop. During some of the background riffs he is joined by Illinois Jacquet and Buddy Tate on tenor saxes.Arnett Cobb (1918?1989)was born in Houston, Texas. His musical career began with the local bands of Chester Boone, from 1934 to 1936, and Milt Larkin, from 1936 to 1942 (which included a period on the West Coast with Floyd Ray). He replaced Illinois Jacquet in Lionel Hampton's band in 1942, staying with Hampton until 1947.Cobb then started his own seven-piece band, but suffered a serious illness in 1950, which necessitated spinal surgery. Although he re-formed the band on his recovery, in 1956 its success was again interrupted, this time by a car crash. This had long term effects on his health, involving periods in hospital, and making him permanently reliant on crutches; nevertheless, Cobb worked as a soloist through the 1970s and 1980s in the U.S. and Europe.
Jumpin' at the Woodside - Buddy Tate
14/01/2008 : Jumpin at the Woodside ? Buddy Tate 1982 This clips is from a concert in Berlin in 1982. Buddy is accompanied by pianist Wild Bill Davis, bassist Bernard Upsom and drummer Frankie Dunlop. In the ensemble and during some of the background riffs he is joined by Illinois Jacquet and Arnett Cobb on tenor saxes. Buddy Tate was one of the great tenor saxophonists of the swing era. His playing drew on both of the great models of the day, combining elements of Lester Young?s understated, liquid economy with the robust, hard blowing attack of Coleman Hawkins. Tate had the big, mightily swinging sound of the ?Texas tenor? school, exemplified by players like Illinois Jacquet and Arnett Cobb, but was equally adept at building an emotionally weighted solo out of the most minimal elaborations. ??He adhered to the dictum that a jazz solo should tell a story, and had no time for bravura displays of empty blowing. At the same time, he was ready to experiment across the whole range of his horn, pushing into areas of sound and timbre which would later be explored by more modern movements in jazz. Even in his most abandoned, flat out playing, his control of both the horn and the music remained total, and was always purposefully directed.
