Sweet Georgia Brown ? Peanuts Hucko All Stars 1985 Another great session to close this concert at the 1985 Bern Jazz Festival. Great masters having a spontenuous jam. What better tune than Sweet Georgia Brown On trumpets Yank Lawson and Wild Bill Davison. On cornet Warren Vache. In the reed section session leader Peanuts Hucko clarinet, Bob Wilber soprano sax, Danny Moss tenor sax. Trombones: George Masso and Bill Allred. Ralph Sutton piano, Bucky Pizzarelli guitar, Jack Lesberg bass and Gus Johnson drums. It is great to see and hear these great musicians more or less sticking to their established routines, after all, these made them famous and recognizable. Then there is this young rebel! Warren Vache, with an incredible technique but also with this wonderful perception throws in the one musical surprise after the other. At a certain point during their exchange solo chorus Wild Bill indicates that maybe one of his valves is not coming up as fast as he had wished for. This makes Warren burst out laughing, but he never misses a note in his next lines. Obviously Warren is excited and indicates a drum break in one of the last few ensembles, but nobody else noticed. After it?s over Warren keeps laughing at Gus, the drummer. Yes, this happens so often in our music and it so so good to see that it happens to the best as well. The fun of improvised jazz!

That?s a Plenty ? Peanuts Hucko All Stars 1986 This is one of these sessions musicians used to do in the night jazz clubs in New York and Chicago in the forties and fifties. Guests would come in the club and jam sessions would last into the early morning hours. Now they all have reached All Star status and usually it is impossible to get someting like that to happen. The Swiss do make that happen. At the famous Bern Jazz Festival the organizers just make that possible and it is of course lots of fun for the musicians as well. And what a gang it is! The oldest is Wild Bill Davison together with Yank Lawson, six years younger, on trumpets, joined by a youngster from the next generation, and one of the very best, Warren Vache on cornet. On trombones you see George Masso and Bill Allred. Peanuts Hucko plays clarinet, his collegue Bob Wilber is on curved soprano sax, while the great Danny Moss plays the tenor sax. One of the best rhythm groups around. One of the great stride players, Ralph Sutton piano, Bucky Pizzarelli guitar, Jack Lesberg bass and Gus Johnson drums. Not just some great jazz to listen to, but also the excitement of the spontanuous interaction between the players during the different solos.

Stompy Jones Soprano Summit

Stompy Jones Soprano Summit 1977 From the 1977 Jazz Festival in Nice France comes this music from the Soprano Summit. Bob Wilber and Kenny Davern and a rhythm group with Bucky Pizzarelli gtr, George Duvivier bass, and Bobby Rosengarten drs. Of course both Bob and Kenny are incredible musicians, but in this tune, Stompy Jones, Kenny's clarinet solo was so ingenious, with humor, technique, warmth and emotion. To me this is Kenny's ultimate creation. Therefore I like to emphasize a bit more on Kenny Davern (1935 - Dec 12, 2006) After hearing Pee Wee Russell the first time, he was convinced that he wanted to be a jazz musician, too; and at the age of 16 he joined the musician's union, first as a baritone saxophone player. In 1954 he joined Jack Teagarden's Band, and after only a few days with the band he made his first jazz recordings. Later on, he worked with bands lead by Phil Napoleon and Pee Wee Erwin before joining the Dukes of Dixieland in 1962. The late 1960s found him free-lancing with a.o. Red Allen, Ralph Sutton, Yank Lawson and his life-long friend Dick Wellstood. When Soprano summit disbanded in 1979, Davern devoted himself to solely playing clarinet, preferring trio formats with piano and drums. His collaboration with Bob Wilber was revived in 1991, the new group being called Summit Reunion. Leading his own quartets since the 1990s, Davern has preferred the guitar to the piano in his rhythm section, employing guitarists Bucky Pizzarelli, Howard Alden and James Chirillo. A full, rounded tone, especially "woody" in the lower chalumeau register, combined with highly personal tone inflections and the ability to hit notes far above the conventional range of the clarinet, have made his sound immediately recognizable. In the late 1980s, the New York Times hailed him as 'the finest jazz clarinetist playing today'. In addition to his accomplishments in jazz, his ardour and knowledge of classical music is encyclopaedic, particularly of the work of conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler.
