Bonjour Pascal, je tombe par hasard sur cette vidéo. je suis Antoine, on a fait quelques boeufs ensemble quand je jouais du tenor dans le groupe de Joêl Guicciardi et Claude Frachet (jazzymodo), ça va bien? merci pour cette video de Mulligan Line for Lyons est un thème magnifique!
DVD _Count Basie - Live in Berlin & Stockholm 1968_ (Impro - IJ543) Marlena Shaw had the pipes, swing and swagger of a perfect big band singer. As good as it gets. Rest in peace! The song is ended, but the melody lingers on.
Papa Jo Jones appears uncomfortable w Mary Lou William's playing throughout (his facial expressions offer a clue as well) - beginning with her laying the melody line way back (Jelly Roll Morton actually developed this style many years prior ... some people thought it was a mistake when they first heard his recording...) and by the end of this song Jo Jones springs up from the drums before Williams is done with her fermata/cadenza. Jo Jones and Williams were not together - Jones was just too frustrated trying to find her groove ... As a professional drummer I can spot this and relate ... sometimes when playing outdoors, live festivals, the sound can be off - if a drummer can't hear the bass player or pianist well enough they cannot hear where others are placing their time feel. His show biz chops take over after he springs up off the drums and he offers his arm towards her with big smiles for the audience. Typically a jazz drummer will roll around the kit with everyone else in the fermata and make an attempt to orchestrate a grand finale hit...
Jimmy Smith's MONSTER a great album that really swings big with Oliie Nelson Charts and Jimmy's B-3. One of the first and best records I acquired. All because I knew VERVE was a well -respected label that released early Zappa/Mothers albums.
One one the best saxophonist ever. He had command of every genre - jazz. bossa nova, symphonic (Focus). The Sergio Mendez recordings are priceless and everyone remembers you Stan. RIP for you are gone but you tenor lives forever!!!
