Released in 1956 under the Atlantic label, it marked Atlantic Records’ foray into the realm of jazz vocal LPs, creating ripples that would resonate through the years. Unveiling the Sonic…

On the decks

Two of my favorite guitarists: Joe Pass and Jim Hall!

Zoot Sims & Joe Pass - Blues For Two

This record is so dang cool. You can imagine the suits, cigs, and smell of booze. Both Zoots and Joe are so smooth throughout. Pretty much straight bop with a few slower numbers, this one rocks.

Jim Hall - Commitment

This one is not as focused but is still outstanding! There are duets with Art Farmer, duets with different pianists, some tracks have Jim overdubbing extra acoustic and electric guitar parts, Ron Carter on bass. Wow! On first examination this may sound like elevator music to some. Listen a bit deeper and you'll find the magic.

今日のおはジャズ「Zoot Sims Quartets」'50 & '51

正直、このアルバム買ったはいいけど、長らく興味持てずにいました。最初にダラダラ長いブルースとその別テイクが連続で流れるって曲順も良くなかったかと。

しかし、これを聴くと若干２５歳のズート青年のレスター愛を深く感じられるし、この時点ではゲッツ達「レスター・スクール」の若者達にまだ大きな個性の違いは無く、みんな同じスタートラインに立ってたのが分かります。

ここからジャズの多様化が始まり、色んなスタイルのアーティストが現れ、個性がぶつかり合い、ジャズの黄金期を迎えます。やはり、この時代の人達は「他人と違う事をやってやろう！」という気概が強かったのだと思います。最近のジャズに最も不足している事かと。

プレスティッジというレーベルは、数々のバップのレコーディングで有名ですが、元々はどのレーベルも録音しようとしなかったリー・コニッツを中心にしたクール・ジャズを録りたくてボブ・ワインストックが始めたレコード会社。ここにも「他の奴とは…」精神が宿ってます。

AllMusic Staff Pick: Annie Ross / Zoot Sims A Gasser!

Best known for her work as one third of the vocalese trio Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Annie Ross was a star on her own. This was especially true on the west coast where she recorded this swinging 1959 date for Pacific Jazz. Backed by Chet Baker's pianist Russ Freeman, as well other California-based luminaries like saxophonist Bill Perkins and guitarist Jim Hall, Ross displays all the urbane warmth and laidback swagger that would become her trademark. As a quirky bonus, some versions of the LP include a session with saxophonist Zoot Sims, also featuring Freeman.

October Goes (10/29/22)

This weekend lies right on the line that divides post-summer from pre-winter. Johnny Mercer knew that as he wrote what became the lyrics to the song “When October Goes.” After Johnny died, his widow Ginger discovered the poem and gave it to Barry Manilow to set to music. It describes perfectly this time of year, which John & Jessica are spending by the lake, in the Deluxe Cabin.
