Lee Konitz Geneva's Move -
07/02/2007 : Geneva's Move Konitz Lee 1954 The Tristano School of Bebop was one of the three mainstreams of the Cool Jazz movement in the late forties and early fifties. (The other ones were West Coast Jazz and the group around Miles Davis and Gil Evans including other former bop musicians like the MJQ.) The "Tristano School"was a group of musicians led by pianist Lennie Tristano and including Lee Konitz (as), Warne Marsh (ts), Billy Bauer (g), Sal Mosca (p) and Arnold Fishkin (b). This group existed from 1946, when Tristano moved to New York. In this session we see and hear Lee Konitz (as), Warne Marsch (ts), but in this clip is pianist Billy Taylor. Mundell Lowe on guitar and Ed Thigpen on drums. An instrument I have never seen in the jazz context is the mellophone, here being played by Don Elliot.

Gone with the Wind - Zoot Sims 1984
04/02/2007 : Gone with the Wind Sims Zoot/Red Mitchell 1984 This is from a filming session in a private residence in Sweden in 1984. Zoot Sims on tenor saxophone with bassist Red Mitchell. Rune Gustafsson is on guitar. Following in the footsteps of Lester Young, Zoot Sims ( born 1925) developed into an innovative tenor saxophonist. Throughout his career, he played with renowned bands, including Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Stan Kenton, and Buddy Rich. Late in his career, Sims added the soprano saxophone to his performances. Sims acquired the nickname ? Zoot ? early in his career while he was in the Kenny Baker band in California. The name was later appropriated for a sax-playing Muppet. Zoot Sims died in New York on March 23, 1985. Red Mitchell became known for performing and/or recording with Woody Herman, Red Norvo, Gerry Mulligan, and, after joining the West Coast jazz scene in the early 1950s, with Andre Previn, Shelly Manne, Billie Holiday, Ornette Coleman, and others. Mitchell also appeared in documentaries about Tal Farlow, and Zoot Sims. In 1966, Red began tuning his bass in fifths (as the violin, viola, and cello are tuned), and his tuning method opened up many possibilities for bassists. Mitchell moved to Stockholm in 1968 and he won Swedish Grammy Awards in 1986 and 1991 for his recorded performances as a pianist, bassist, and vocalist, and for his compositions and poetic song lyrics. During this period, Mitchell performed and/or recorded with Clark Terry, Lee Konitz, Herb Ellis, Jim Hall, Joe Pass, Kenny Barron, Hank Jones, Bill Mays, Warne Marsh, Jimmy Rowles, Phil Woods, Roger Kellaway, Putte Wickman and others. He frequently collaborated in duos, most notably with pianist Kellaway after the mid-1980s. Returning to the United States in early 1992, Mitchell settled in Oregon where he died at age 65 later that year. A collection of his poetry was published posthumously. His widow is preparing a biography.
