The unintentionally perfect finales will probably become another one of my controversial categories on this blog, since I basically declared that some musicians should have ended their careers at an earlier point. For instance, let's say you concluded with an album that wasn't really you at your best, though you still showed the reasons people like you. The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees by the Monkees, of course, might be one such case. Mind you, their consequent works didn't demolish their legacy, yet they didn't add that much either. However, their struggles predicted a career arc of a typical prefabricated musical outfit. They were one of the better from the category, though they inadvertently established the rules many of the similar proposition go through.

Jazz jazz all around 🥰

West Coast jazz has it’s share of talented musicians and gems. „The swinging Mr. Rogers” by Shorty Rogers and his giants (1955) is a perfect example of both.

本日のおはジャズ「Wherever The Five Winds Blow」Shorty Rogers '57

トランペッターながらアレンジャー要素も強いロジャースと、これまた同様の印象が有るジュフリーの2フロントですが、意外にもハードバップよろしく真っ向勝負のジャズです。１曲目から快調に飛ばして行きます。

内容はブルースや循環など比較的分かりやすい進行のロジャースのオリジナル曲。勿論ヘッドアレンジは施されてます。

「何でも屋」のジュフリーは結構苦手なんですが、ここではテナーとクラのみ。どちらかと言うとクラの方が多いし、そっちの方が得意な様な気がします。サブトーン気味の独特なトーンは各楽器に共通してます。

リーダーのロジャースは最初にソロを取らず、一見控え目な感じですが、確実なテクニックで明快なメロディを魅せつけます。見た目「仕事メッチャ取ってくるヤリ手の下請け電気工事会社の社長」って勝手なイメージなんですが（笑）音楽的にも仕事出来そう！って感じてしまいます。

ゲッツのレギュラーピアニストだったルー・レヴィは絶好調に思えます。ゲッツとのヴァーブ盤での録音は、どれもあまり良い音とは言えないのですが、RCAの良い録音で聴くと彼のピアノが更にもう一段階上に聴こえます。

ペナはジュフリーのバンドのレギュラー・ベーシスト、バンカーはどうもシェリー・マンやスタン・リーヴィの次の3rdコールなイメージですが、後にエバンスに気に入られる天才マルチ奏者だそうです。当時のLAは1stコール以外もメッチャ人材豊富だったのが伺えます。
