Loved it!! Been listening to this kind of jazz for years, many years. Bird,Diz,Bud, Ray and Max were my introductions to bebop. If my mind serves me correctly, I believe Dizzy also played the piano on the original disc I’m 93, it’s nearly one in the morning, and I’m still tapping my feet when I hear this record
I like that brush drum stick. Cymbal strokes , then is it the Obo string then throw in the upper case turning of the piano , of course the trumpet it has the very 60's feel which you would get when seeing these hip 60's movies ; I love it ! 😊
A Master pianist…He left a lasting impression on me when he came to UCONN my sophomore year, along with the great Ron Carter, Jackie McLean and they did a week long Jazz Workshop. Rest in Peace….
10 years late to the video and many more years late to the recording, but the more I hear Dexter Gordon play on some of my favorite old standards, the more I come to hear that he may very well be the link or the bridge between swing and blues and ballads and bebop all rolled into one person. Sonny Rollins may be the more impressively forward thinking and reaching player while maintaining a solid swing influence, Coltrane may be the more ethereal and fearless discoverer, but Dexter seems to be the one player (at the very least as far as great tenor sax players are concerned) that was able to be all of what he was at once and in every tune: whether a ballad (Darn That Dream) or a swing tune (as we see here), or any tune approaching bebop (many from him, given his style), he somehow managed to walk between the few decades and styles surrounding him - which he had the privilege of living through - to make a sound as timeless as he seemed to be. Even as an adult beginner learner of jazz piano, I love Dexter Gordon for being one of those people who makes all things seem possible, and all at once.
This is magical. Ray does something a great many jazz pianists don’t quite do, even some of the most accomplished ones: he makes the instrument SING!!!
N’a jamais suivi la mode Un grand créateur Mal connu a tord Un très très grand Son histoire et sa vie n’est pas vraiment le bonheur Sa musique lui ressemble bien sûr…
Recorded in late July 1961 in Los Angeles with the talented pianist/arranger Wynton Kelly (who died at the young age of 39 of an epileptic seizure, while in Canada for a gig, and reportedly with very little money) and Leroy Vinnegar, one of the great jazz bassist of that era, and among my personal favorites. I discovered Joy Bryan through her connection with a 1963 NBC television special about jazz singer Lee Wiley ... "Something About Lee Wiley" starring Piper Laurie as Wiley and Joy as Wiley's singing voice. I've always been a fan of "My Funny Valentine" and Joy really does a splendid version of that tune here.
As someone pretty new to Dolphy, it feels to me like the bass clarinet is sort of a clarinet and sax merged magically together--and at times with a didgeridoo as well!
Every great musician has their vibe- and when it's all said and done- it doesn't matter- I'm so glad we have these recordings. I'm certainly in no position to make any sort of critique- but this is great! One of the greats.
