Jerry Hey is one of the most awesome studio trumpeters in the industry's history, I've seen his name on so many of my contemporary jazz records/CD's, it's unbelievable! I wonder if he ever did a solo project, though? That would definitely be an essential for music collectors.
ONE, of the best Music Arrangers, and Horn Players to have walked God's green earth. JERRY HEY...born right outside of my hometown Chicago, Dixion ill.
I think Jerry Hey is fabulous! Watch him on Frank Sinatra's recording of Stormy Weather with Quincy Jones. He is the only trumpet player who does that little 6-note run at the end of the interlude. Amazing!
this is from the Dude Concert in Japan... Quincy took his whole crew with him. Jerry Hey, Rod Temperton, Patti Austin, Greg Philiganes, Peggy Lipton Jones/his then wife. and MANY other BIG NAME Music people.
I think what happened was at 00:22 he wanted to do something, realized it wasn't going to work, and had to find a way to work out of it, which he finally did at 00:27. But as my high school band director used to say, "There are no wrong notes in jazz."
