Just felt like a folky-jazz kind of night. It's so spare that I'm amazed that the three of them can make it beautiful, as well, but it is definitely that.

本日のおはジャズ「Bob Brookmeyer & Friends」'64
このアルバムの存在は知っていたし、過去にチラッと聴いた事も有ったのですが、こういう「オールスター・セッション」的なアルバムは苦手で避けて来ました。でも、改めて聴いてみたら隠れた名盤でした!ゲッツマニアのブログで絶賛してたから買ったんですけどね(笑)
リズムセクションは同時期録音のゲッツ&エバンスと同じで、ピアノはハービー!ソロ中のストップタイムの採用などあのアルバムを彷彿とさせます。そして、ゲッツがあんなにはオラオラしてないのが好感持てます。
'61年のゲッツ&ブルックマイヤーのサウンドにも近いものがあります。それはキッチリしたアレンジと、適当なハモリの混在…というとこに感じられます。ほんと能力高いです、この二人。
また、ゲイリー・バートンの参加というのが、これまた興味深く、バランスを崩す事なく振り幅はとてつもなく広くなっています。
ヴァーブ録音が多いゲッツですが、コロンビア録音だと、まさにあのマイルス黄金期のサウンドでクリアにしてゴージャス。こういう音で聴きたかった!と涙がちょちょぎれます。
ドラマーにしたら何を今更…と思うかもですが、エルビンが特にA面ではめちゃタイトにキメキメで叩いてます。A1はゲッツのバンドでエルビンの影響を受けたロイヘインズがタイトにチキチキ演ってたけど、エルビンが同じ様に真面目にやってます。B面は野放図なとこも有るけど、ちゃんとキチッと出来た上での野放図ってのがコレでよく分かります。「自由」を履き違えちゃイカン!と勉強になります。
ブルックマイヤーのリーダー作ですが、実質ゲッツ・リーダーと言っても良い内容。ゲッツとハービーの相性も良いと思うし、エバンス過ぎて僕の好みでないスティーブ・キューンよりは良いと思うんだけど。ハービーとの共演をもっと聴きたかったな…と思います。

“Fifteen years ago, [Darcy James Argue] began making waves with his exciting 18-piece orchestra, Secret Society,” BBC Radio 3’s J to Z presenter Kevin Le Gendre says of his guest. “He’s gone from strength to strength ever since and is now one of contemporary jazz’s most notable large ensemble leaders. His music is as interesting and atmospheric as it is gutsy and powerful …” You can hear Argue talk about and share some of the music that’s influenced him and his new album, Dynamic Maximum Tension, by Miles Davis and Gil Evans, Irving Berlin, Bob Brookmeyer, and Duke Ellington, at about 50 minutes into the episode here.

Remembering Bob Brookmeyer on his birthday... R.I.P. ஆܔ
Robert Edward "Bob" Brookmeyer (December 19, 1929 – December 15, 2011) was an American jazz valve trombonist, pianist, arranger, and composer. Brookmeyer began playing professionally in his teens. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Brookmeyer first gained widespread public attention as a member of Gerry Mulligan's quartet from 1954 to 1957. He later worked with Jimmy Giuffre, before rejoining Mulligan's Concert Jazz Band. He was part of small groups led by Stan Getz, Jimmy Giuffre, and Gerry Mulligan in the 1950s. He garnered 8 Grammy Award nominations during his lifetime.His eighth Grammy Award nomination was for an arrangement from the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra's album, Forever Lasting, shortly before his death. That same album was also nominated in the 57th Annual Grammy Awards for the category of Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album; the CD was entirely made up of Brookmeyer's compositions.Photo: Bill Crow, Gerry Mulligan and Bob Brookmeyer of the Gerry Mulligan Quartet.

Found this album two days ago for 10$.
It’s a mono release. Released in 1963 but it contains tracks from three various sessions recorded in 1954 and 1957.
1st session: july ’54
„Liberty Bell”, „The Blues”
(Bob Brookmeyer - trombone, John Williams - piano, Bill Anthony - bass, Frank Isola - drums)
2nd session: july ’54 (three days later)
„Red devil”, „Doe eyes”, „Last chance”
(Bob Brookmeyer - trombone, John Williams - piano, Red Mitchell- bass, Frank Isola - drums)
3rd session (june ’57)
„Slow freight”
(Bob Brookmeyer - trombone, Jimmy Giuffre - tenor sax, guitarist Jim Hall - guitar, Ralph Pena - bass, Dave Bailey - drums).
„brook’s blues”
(Bob Brookmeyer - piano, guitarist Jim Hall - guitar, Ralph Pena - bass, Dave Bailey - drums).
Very interesting sessions, unexpectedly very blues-oriented and swinging, but (excpectedly) in a cool, relaxed way.
