Wild Bill Davison & Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband • Wild Bill Davison & Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This release draws its material from five sessions that cornetist Wild Bill Davison recorded in Copenhagen with trombonist Papa Bue Jensen's Viking Jazz Band, not duplicating any music released elsewhere. Davison, who sings "A Cottage for Sale," clearly enjoyed playing with Jensen and his band (which also featured clarinetist Jorgen Svarre and occasionally tenor saxophonist Bent Jaedig) and he sounds quite inspired. Highpoints include "I'm Confessin," "I Never Knew," "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me" and "You're Lucky to Me."

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este lanzamiento extrae su material de cinco sesiones que el cornetista Wild Bill Davison grabó en Copenhague con la Viking Jazz Band del trombonista Papa Bue Jensen, sin duplicar ninguna música publicada en otros lugares. Davison, que canta "A Cottage for Sale", disfrutó claramente tocando con Jensen y su banda (que también incluía al clarinetista Jorgen Svarre y ocasionalmente al saxofonista tenor Bent Jaedig) y suena bastante inspirado. Los puntos álgidos incluyen "I'm Confessin", "I Never Knew", "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me" y "You're Lucky to Me".

Wild Bill Davison & Ralph Sutton • Together Again!

Review

Cornetist Wild Bill Davison and the masterful stride pianist Ralph Sutton team up on this Copenhagen session with five fine Danish musicians, including Jesper Thilo (who switches between tenor, clarinet, and soprano) and trombonist Ole "Fessor" Lindgreen. The program emphasizes swing standards and finds Davison (71 at the time) still in exciting form. Among the memorable selections on the exuberant set are "Everybody Loves My Baby," "Shine," "Running Wild," and Davison's vocal on "After I Say I'm Sorry." The superior playing of Wild Bill and Sutton make this one of the better Storyville trad sets of the past few decades.

Revisar

El cornetista Wild Bill Davison y el magistral pianista de zancadas Ralph Sutton se unen en esta sesión de Copenhague con cinco excelentes músicos daneses, entre ellos Jesper Thilo (que alterna entre tenor, clarinete y soprano) y el trombonista Ole "Fessor" Lindgreen. El programa hace hincapié en los estándares de swing y encuentra a Davison (71 en ese momento) todavía en forma emocionante. Entre las selecciones memorables del exuberante set están "Everybody Loves My Baby", "Shine", "Running Wild" y la voz de Davison en "After I Say I'm Sorry". La superioridad de Wild Bill y Sutton hacen de éste uno de los mejores sets de Storyville de las últimas décadas.

Wild Bill Davison • Live 1955 Miami Beach

 

This live concert from Miami Beach in 1955 is being released in its entirety for the first time on CD. The musical style of this 70-minute, 13-tune CD is traditional jazz and swing, with compositions by W.C. Handy, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong and Hoagy Carmichael, among others. On this CD the famous American cornetist Wild Bill Davison is backed by the eminent swing quintet, the Eddie Condon All Stars. Every member of this band is a swing jazz superstar; together they create a top-professional, hard-swinging unit. Wild Bill Davison plays cornet with his trademark brash, jaunty attack with growls and slurs along with great harmonics. Pee Wee Russell performs brilliantly – without a safety net, but always landing on the beat – and very lyrically, on such tunes as "Beale Street Blues" and "Singin’ the Blues".With such a density and intensity of music, this CD deserves repeated listening, revealing additional levels of creativity.

En este CD, el famoso cornetista estadounidense Wild Bill Davison está respaldado por el eminente quinteto de swing Eddie Condon All Stars. Cada uno de los miembros de esta banda es una superestrella del jazz de swing; juntos crean una unidad profesional de alto nivel y con mucho ritmo. Wild Bill Davison toca la corneta con su característico ataque descarado y alegre, con gruñidos y ligados, además de grandes armónicos. Pee Wee Russell interpreta de forma brillante -sin red de seguridad, pero siempre aterrizando en el ritmo- y de forma muy lírica, en temas como "Beale Street Blues" y "Singin' the Blues".Con tal densidad e intensidad de música, este CD merece ser escuchado repetidamente, revelando niveles adicionales de creatividad.

Fessor's Big City Band • Swing Sessions

 

Thanks to Fessor’s long-time friendships with many top swing and trad jazz stars like Wild Bill Davison, the musical communication and overall atmosphere on this CD is greatly enhanced, and the musicians really swing together. Fessor’s trombone style is warm, and robust, and his arrangements are simple and well constructed. The music always sounds fresh, thanks both to Fessor’s deep attraction to a variety of musical styles, and to his choice of a relatively unusual repertoire. There are great performances by special American guest artists Claude Williams on violin, Herb Hall on clarinet, Doc Cheatham on trumpet, and Wild Bill Davison on cornet, plus Danish Tenor saxophonist Bent Jædig. This 65-minute CD is compiled from five recording sessions in Denmark with Ole “Fessor” Lindgreen and (mostly) his Big City Band, from 1978-1981. Eight of the 15 numbers are Fessor originals, six are standards, plus one gospel classic.

Gracias a la larga amistad de Fessor con muchas de las principales estrellas del swing y el trad jazz, como Wild Bill Davison, la comunicación musical y la atmósfera general de este CD han mejorado mucho, y los músicos realmente se mueven juntos. El estilo del trombón de Fessor es cálido y robusto, y sus arreglos son sencillos y están bien construidos. La música siempre suena fresca, gracias tanto a la profunda atracción de Fessor por una variedad de estilos musicales, como a su elección de un repertorio relativamente inusual. Hay grandes interpretaciones de los artistas invitados estadounidenses Claude Williams al violín, Herb Hall al clarinete, Doc Cheatham a la trompeta y Wild Bill Davison a la corneta, además del saxofonista tenor danés Bent Jædig.

Brother Matthew • Brother Matthew With Eddie Condon's Jazz Band

Boyce Brown was an eccentric, a rare alto saxophonist who preferred to play freewheeling Chicago jazz, an erratic individual with some outlandish opinions and, ultimately, one of the very few monks who doubled (at least briefly) as a jazz musician! He became a professional musician when he was 17, playing with drummer Don Carter's band in Chicago. Brown picked up experience working with Benny Meroff, Wingy Manone (1933), Paul Mares (1934-1935), and Johnny's Original Playboys. Brown also led his own bands and recorded with Mares, Jimmy McPartland (1939), and Wild Bill Davison (some obscure titles in 1940). Brown was based in Chicago throughout his playing career, mostly leading his own bands th

roughout the '40s and early '50s.

In the fall of 1953 he adopted the name "Brother Matthew" and entered a monastery, taking his vows in February 1956. His only date as a leader was cut in Apr. 1956 with Eddie Condon's band and, although he looks a bit strange in his somber outfit while holding a sax (one can only imagine what Wild Bill Davison thought!), Boyce Brown was in brilliant form for what would be his last recording. He died of a heart attack less than three years later.

Traducción Automática:

Boyce Brown era un excéntrico y raro saxofonista alto que prefería interpretar el jazz de Chicago libre, un individuo errático con algunas opiniones extrañas y, en última instancia, uno de los pocos monjes que se duplicó (al menos brevemente) como músico de jazz! Él se hizo un músico profesional cuando tenía 17, tocando con el batería Don Carter en Chicago. Brown adquirió experiencia trabajando con Benny Meroff, Wingy Manone (1933), Paul Mares (1934-1935) y Johnny's Original Playboys. Brown también dirigió sus propias bandas y grabó con Mares, Jimmy McPartland (1939), y Wild Bill Davison (algunos títulos oscuros en 1940). Brown se basó en Chicago a lo largo de su carrera como jugador, liderando principalmente sus propias bandas a lo largo de los años 40 y principios de los 50.En el otoño de 1953 adoptó el nombre de "Hermano Mateo" y entró en un monasterio, tomando sus votos en febrero de 1956. Su única fecha como líder fue cortada en abril de 1956 con la banda de Eddie Condon y, aunque se ve un poco extraño en Su sombrío traje mientras sostenía un saxo (¡sólo se puede imaginar lo que pensaba Wild Bill Davison!), Boyce Brown estaba en forma brillante por lo que sería su última grabación. Murió de un ataque al corazón menos de tres años después.~ Scott Yanow
