Shirley Scott • For Members Only

 

Review by Scott Yanow

During the 1960's, Shirley Scott's Impulse albums were often split between big band selections (with orchestras arranged by Oliver Nelson) and trio features. This CD reissue from 1989 includes all of the contents from two of Scott's better Impulse albums, Great Scott and For Members Only. In general the eight trio numbers are the most rewarding performances on the disc since the material is fairly superior while the big band tracks emphasize then-current show and movie tunes. Overall this generous CD gives one a good overview of Shirley Scott's playing talents.

En general, este generoso CD ofrece una buena descripción de los talentos de Shirley Scott.

 

Herbie Mann • Plays The Roar of the Greasepaint & The Smell of the Crowd

Review by Scott Yanow

On this out of print LP, flutist Herbie Mann performs 11 songs from a famous Leslie Bricusse-Anthony Newley musical. Joined by an orchestra arranged by Ray Ellis (and including either Chick Corea or Roger Kellaway on piano), Mann plays well enough. However, the only one of the 11 songs remembered today is "Who Can I Turn To," and the renditions of the material are so brief (only two songs are longer than three minutes) as to be unadventurous and rather superficial. One of Mann's less significant projects of the '60s.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

En este LP agotado, el flautista Herbie Mann interpreta 11 canciones de un famoso musical de Leslie Bricusse-Anthony Newley. Acompañado por una orquesta arreglada por Ray Ellis (e incluyendo a Chick Corea o Roger Kellaway en el piano), Mann toca bastante bien. Sin embargo, la única de las 11 canciones que se recuerdan hoy en día es "Who Can I Turn To", y las interpretaciones del material son tan breves (sólo dos canciones duran más de tres minutos) que no son aventureras y son bastante superficiales. Uno de los proyectos menos significativos de Mann de los años 60.

Johnny Hodges & Wild Bill Davis • Blue Rabbit

 

One of altoist Johnny Hodges' many solo records in the 60's away from Duke Ellington's Orchestra, this out-of-print LP features him in two separate but similar settings. The great saxophonist is joined by either Wild Bill Davis or (on four of the nine songs) the obscure organist Ray Jackson, either Kenny Burrell or Mundell Lowe on guitar, Wendell Marshall, Jack Lesberg or Richard Davis on bass, and Bobby Donaldson or Osie Johnson on drums. The music is fairly typical for a Hodges date, with four Ellington standards, some blues and some basic originals. In a few spots, the organists really do a good job of filling in for the Ellington Orchestra. Tasty and swinging music. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG.

///////

Uno de los muchos discos en solitario del altoista Johnny Hodges en los años 60, lejos de la Orquesta de Duke Ellington, este LP agotado lo presenta en dos escenarios separados pero similares. Al gran saxofonista se le unen Wild Bill Davis o (en cuatro de las nueve canciones) el oscuro organista Ray Jackson, Kenny Burrell o Mundell Lowe en la guitarra, Wendell Marshall, Jack Lesberg o Richard Davis en el bajo, y Bobby Donaldson u Osie Johnson en la batería. La música es bastante típica para una cita de Hodges, con cuatro estándares de Ellington, algo de blues y algunos originales básicos. En unos pocos puntos, los organistas hacen un buen trabajo reemplazando a la Orquesta de Ellington. Música sabrosa y swing. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG.

Mundell Lowe • Themes From Mr. Lucky The Untouchables And Other TV Action Jazz

 

 

Born in Laurel, Mississippi, Mundell left home at the age of thirteen. After working in Nashville, he found his way to Bourbon Street in New Orleans and the beginning of his jazz career. While serving in World War Il, he met the influential John Hammond, who introduced him to Ray McKinley. Mundell worked with McKinley’s band for a year and a half, developing his distinctive instrumental style, and then moved on to work in New York at Café Society and stints at the Village Vanguard and The Embers, among others. Mundell worked with Billie Holiday, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Helen Humes and Charles Mingus, to name but a few. These gigs overlapped with an early morning TV show at NBC with Cy Coleman, “A Date in Manhattan,” and later “The Kate Smith Hour” with Stan Getz, Doc Severinsen, and Kai Winding.

From the early fifties to the mid-Sixties, he was an active performer, working with George Duvivier on bass and Ed Shaughnessy on drums in Dave Garroway’s “Today Show” studio band. He also played with the extraordinary pianist Hank Jones when they both worked in the NBC and CBS orchestras of the early Fifties. After seventeen years at NBC as a guitarist and arranger, Lowe was transferred to the News and Special Events Department to work as a composer.

Mundell moved to Los Angeles, California, Christmas 1965 actually, he left to visit some friends, and never went back to New York! He met Jackie Cooper, then-head of Screen Gems, and began the West Coast phase of his career composing music for some of their television and film properties. Lowe augmented his TV and film work with making his own LPs as well as two successful projects with noted singers Sarah Vaughan (‘After Hours”) and Carmen McRae (‘Bittersweet”).

Even though he had made special appearances with Peggy Lee and the White House, toured Japan with Benny Carter several times, and was a regular performer at the Monterey Jazz Festival, Mundell found he was spending more time writing than playing, which he found frustrating. He made up his mind to turn that around and, during the 1980s, he stepped out of the studio world of film and television and returned to performing, the first love of his long and rich musical career.

Mundell's current schedule is no less active. In the last few years he has traveled the globe as a concert performer, worked the States with his own quintet, and has made several trips to New York to work with Ron Carter, Al Foster, Bill Mays, and Ray Drummond. He tours with the André Previn Trio (composed of Previn, the late Ray Brown, and Lowe), as well as the Great Guitars with the late Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis, and Tal Farlow. Mundell also has been busy in recording studios lately, having recorded two albums for Telarc with the André Previn Trio, one for Phillips with Kiri Te Kanawa, and two albums for Fresh Sounds with Teté Montoliu.

Nacido en Laurel, Mississippi, Mundell se fue de casa a los trece años. Después de trabajar en Nashville, encontró el camino hacia la calle Bourbon de Nueva Orleans y el comienzo de su carrera en el mundo del jazz. Mientras servía en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, conoció al influyente John Hammond, que le presentó a Ray McKinley. Mundell trabajó con la banda de McKinley durante un año y medio, desarrollando su distintivo estilo instrumental, y luego pasó a trabajar en Nueva York en el Café Society y a pasar por el Village Vanguard y The Embers, entre otros. Mundell trabajó con Billie Holiday, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Helen Humes y Charles Mingus, entre otros. Estas actuaciones se solaparon con un programa de televisión matinal en la NBC con Cy Coleman, "A Date in Manhattan", y más tarde con "The Kate Smith Hour" con Stan Getz, Doc Severinsen y Kai Winding.

Desde principios de los cincuenta hasta mediados de los sesenta, fue un intérprete activo, trabajando con George Duvivier al bajo y Ed Shaughnessy a la batería en la banda de estudio del "Today Show" de Dave Garroway. También tocó con el extraordinario pianista Hank Jones cuando ambos trabajaban en las orquestas de la NBC y la CBS a principios de los cincuenta. Tras diecisiete años en la NBC como guitarrista y arreglista, Lowe fue trasladado al Departamento de Noticias y Eventos Especiales para trabajar como compositor.

Mundell se trasladó a Los Ángeles, California, en realidad en la Navidad de 1965, se fue a visitar a unos amigos y nunca volvió a Nueva York. Conoció a Jackie Cooper, entonces jefe de Screen Gems, y comenzó la fase de la Costa Oeste de su carrera componiendo música para algunas de sus propiedades televisivas y cinematográficas. Lowe complementó su trabajo en televisión y cine con la realización de sus propios LPs, así como con dos exitosos proyectos con las conocidas cantantes Sarah Vaughan ("After Hours") y Carmen McRae ("Bittersweet").

Aunque había hecho apariciones especiales con Peggy Lee y la Casa Blanca, había hecho varias giras por Japón con Benny Carter y era un intérprete habitual en el Festival de Jazz de Monterey, Mundell se dio cuenta de que pasaba más tiempo escribiendo que tocando, lo que le resultaba frustrante. Decidió dar un giro a la situación y, durante la década de 1980, abandonó el mundo de los estudios de cine y televisión y volvió a la interpretación, el primer amor de su larga y rica carrera musical.

La agenda actual de Mundell no es menos activa. En los últimos años ha viajado por todo el mundo como concertista, ha trabajado en Estados Unidos con su propio quinteto y ha realizado varios viajes a Nueva York para trabajar con Ron Carter, Al Foster, Bill Mays y Ray Drummond. Realiza giras con el André Previn Trio (compuesto por Previn, el difunto Ray Brown y Lowe), así como con el Great Guitars con el difunto Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis y Tal Farlow. Mundell también ha estado ocupado en los estudios de grabación últimamente, habiendo grabado dos álbumes para Telarc con el André Previn Trio, uno para Phillips con Kiri Te Kanawa, y dos álbumes para Fresh Sounds con Teté Montoliu.

Andre Previn, Mundell Lowe & Ray Brown • Uptown

Andre Previn, Ray Brown and Mundell Lowe play the music of Duke Ellington and Harold Arlen. This was André Previn's second album after his long, symphonically enforced absence from jazz, and it sounds noticeably more fluid and relaxed than his first. No longer apprehensive about dusting off his old skills, Previn is delightfully confident and breezy (dig his sly turns on "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "C Jam Blues", taking some chances as he re-phrases and paraphrases a collection of revivified standards, mostly Harold Arlen and assorted Duke Ellington. Even if Previn, that noted wit, sometimes sounds as if he is kidding the pants off these old tunes, it's great to hear him having such a good time playing jazz again. Mundell Lowe is Previn's new guitar partner, and Ray Brown returns on bass; both are right at home in this refined brand of chamber jazz grooving. Adding to the CD's appeal are some marvelously (and typically) graceful liner notes by Mel Powell, an old pal of Previn's and a lively fellow defector from the jazz piano ranks to the classical world. ~ Richard S. Ginell Personnel: André Previn (piano); Mundell Lowe (guitar).

Benny Carter • 'Live And Well In Japan!

 

Benny Carter headed a talent-filled tentet for this frequently exciting concert. With trumpeters Cat Anderson and Joe Newman, trombonist Britt Woodman, Cecil Payne on baritone and Budd Johnson doubling on tenor and soprano, it is not at all surprising that the results would be memorable, but this date actually exceeds one's expectations. In addition to fine jam versions of "Squatty Roo," "Them There Eyes" and "It Don't Mean a Thing," there is a remarkable Louis Armstrong medley on which Carter (on trumpet) plays "When It's Sleepy Time Down South," Cat Anderson follows with a high note solo on "Confessin'" and then Joe Newman (who rarely recorded vocals) does a near-perfect imitation of Louis Armstrong singing on "When You're Smiling."

Además de buenas versiones improvisadas de «Squatty Roo», «Them There Eyes» y «It Don't Mean a Thing», hay un notable popurrí de Louis Armstrong en el que Carter (a la trompeta) toca «When It's Sleepy Time Down South», Cat Anderson sigue con un solo de notas altas en «Confessin'» y luego Joe Newman (que rara vez grababa voces) hace una imitación casi perfecta de Louis Armstrong cantando en «When You're Smiling».

VA • Watching the Detectives

 

Crime shows alongside Westerns and sit coms had been a mainstay of American radio for many years when TV first launched seriously in the late 1940's. It was natural therefore that the same genres would be equally popular as the new medium took its hold on the public imagination.

Much loved TV shows Dragnet, Highway Patrol and M Squad meet great movie themes The Man With The Golden Arm and Touch of Evil.

Superbly crafted and catchy songs from big name orchestras such as Ray Anthony, Henry Mancini, Nelson Riddle, Count Basie, Pete Rugolo and more.

Los programas de TV Dragnet, Highway Patrol y M Squad se unen a los grandes temas de la película El hombre con el brazo de oro y Touch of Evil.
