“Lee Morgan: The Last Session” by the great #LeeMorgan is the last studio session by him that was released after his death on February 19, 1972, at the ripe young age of 33, shot and killed by his then common-law wife Helen at Slugs’ Saloon in New York City. It was recorded at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Morgan trumpet, #GrachanMoncur on trombone, #BobbiHumphrey on flute, #BillyHarper on tenor, #HaroldMabern on piano, #ReggieWorkman on bass, #JymieMerritt on bass and #FreddieWatts on drums. Released in May of 1972 a couple months after his death, this double LP #BlueNoteRecords United Artist original ironically has no songs written by Lee. My favorite tune on this album is “In What Direction Are You Headed?” was written by the great Harold Mabern who I saw a couple years ago with the #EricAlexander Quartet at Blues Alley in Georgetown. To be honest I’m a liner notes guy who tries to read everything, but not a lot of thought was put in this overall makeup of the album cover. I’m guessing the great #ReidMiles was long gone when this design was approved. From Harold Mabern on electric piano and Jymie Merritt on electric bass this was Lee Morgan’s first attempt into Jazz Fusion, and you can tell by the direction of the music. It’s unfortunate that the brilliant and forward-thinking Morgan was cut down at such a young age, for as the music was changing, he would have adapted, as this final statement valiantly suggests. . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7xElkJtfa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Blue Note to release Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers long lost album “Just Coolin’”

Blue Note to release Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers long lost album “Just Coolin’”. The album was recorded on March 8, 1959, in Rudy Van Gelder’s living room studio. Just a few months after studio session to “Moanin’” Art Blakey’s classic hard-bop album. Blue Note founder and producer Alfred Lion recorded the band again at Birdland in New York on April 15, 1959, just five weeks after the “Just Coolin’” studio session. Those live recordings ended up replacing the studio versions. Blue Note released them as the two-volume live album “At the Jazz Corner of the World” in the same year. “Just Coolin’” includes two previously unreleased compositions, including “Quick Trick”, which you can listen below. Listen to Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers track “Quick Trick” from album “Just Coolin’”: Previous Art Blakey’s albums for Blue Note, including “Moanin’”, were recorded by the third incarnations of The Jazz Messengers. Line up with drummer Art Blakey, trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Bobby Timmons, and bassist Jymie Merritt. Golson left the band in 1959 after a European tour to be replaced, briefly, by Hank Mobley. Henry “Hank” Mobley was a founding member of the Jazz Messengers, who returned only for a short time. Mobley did not accompany the band to a Canadian jazz festival in 1959; Lee Morgan encountered Wayne Shorter at the festival, who became a fixture of the band until 1964. Listen to Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers track “Quick Trick” from the album “Just Coolin’”: Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers “Just Coolin’” tracklist: Side A Hipsippy Blues (Hank Mobley)Close Your Eyes (Bernice Petkere)Jimerick (unknown) Side B Quick Trick (Bobby Timmons)M&M (Hank Mobley)Just Coolin’ (Hank Mobley) Read the full article

Curtis Fuller ! "Soul Trombone" The Jazz Clan 1961年11月15,16,17日。Capitol Studios, NYC.録音。 #ImpulseRecords レーベル、本盤は1976年6月14日岩浪洋三氏のライナー付き日本盤(YP-8537AI)、Gatefold。 Producer - #BobThiele #CurtisFuller (trb) #FreddieHubbard (tp) #JimmyHeath (ts) #CedarWalton (p) #JymieMerritt (b) #JimmyCobb (ds) #GTHogan (ds, B-2) Cover Design - #RobertFlynn Photograph - #TedRussell 私的には、まずこの顔ぶれに期待大！本作、ジャズ・メッセンジャーズのメンバーを中心としたフラーのハード・バップによる快演盤として有名なアルバムとのことです。 1958年録音のコルトレーンの"Blue Train"の三管に参加し評価を受けたカーティス・フラーは、その後ジャズテットなどで三管編成の演奏を極めていき、それが本作でも名乗っている独自のバンド"The Jazz Clan"。つまり、フラーがジャズ・メッセンジャーに在団中に仲間のハバード、ウォルトンとグループを結成し録音した作品。 トロンボーンは、早いパッセージの曲が多いモダン・ジャズにおいては、非常に難しい楽器で、相当な修練が必要だと。逆に言えば、本作のようなリーダー作品では、どうサイド・メンバーが作品として盛り立て、引き立てているのか、に注目だそうです。 モダン・トロンボーンの名手J.J.ジョンソン以降、対極の低音を生かしたソウルフルなプレイでトロンボーンを再認識させた功績はもっと高く評価されるべきでは。 録音評... 本作の録音はステレオはFrank Abbey、モノラルはBob Arnoldと別々のエンジニア、オリジナルではラン・オフの部分にRVGの刻印がありカッティングはゲルダーらしいです。本盤は、日本コロンビアから再発盤で、Stereo。分解能や各楽器の音色とバランスは、ナチュラルでとてもいいと思います。トロンボーンがメインと言うせいもありますが、全体的には円やか。演奏も含め、比較的アット・ホームな感じで、尖っていないから万人向けとしてお薦めできますね。 また、ブライト感が増したハバードのブリリアントな音色と伸びやかなソロ・ワークや小音でも存在感のあるウォルトンのピアノもベスト・マッチ。華やかさと安定感のブレンド、彼がこのメンバーを選んだ理由に納得の仕上がりです。 Side 1-1 "The Clan"でのフラーのソロが本作のメインに違いありませんが、スタン・ゲッツの名作でマイルス・デイヴィスの演奏でも有名なSide 2-2 "Dear Old Stockholm"でのフラーの演奏もなかなかの名演の一つだとの評も。私の盤イチは、最後のフラーのオリジナル"Ladies' Night"。曲のスピードに呼応するもたつかないフラーと自由に羽ばたくハバード、控え目で上品で軽快なウォルトンのピアノ、何とも言えないバランスの良さと耳に残るフレーズが素晴らしいと思います。 #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #jazzrecords #recordcollection #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル #レコード ※作品を知り、ジャズの素晴らしさを伝えたい。様々なソースをアレンジ、先輩諸氏に感謝。 https://www.instagram.com/p/B28kraKp-9N/?igshid=1fvu88n08mgzm

GREAT OFFERINGS: For those among us who love to peer behind the scenes into the lives of influential people and enjoy a good read, look no further than the book, "Whisper Not: The Autobiography of Benny Golson written by Philly Jazz legend himself and writer Jim Merod and published by Temple University Press. While exploring Golson's moving, personal journey in the music, this book also paints a beautifully vivid image of the golden age of Philadelphia Jazz and its remarkable community. In daily orbit with such Jazz giants as Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, John Coltrane, Lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons, Jymie Merritt, Clifford Brown and Art Farmer, Philly-bred, saxophonist and composer, Benny Golson was much more than a witness to Jazz history. He was an architect of it was well.
