Trumpeter Donald Byrd: "Blackjack"

πριν 20 μέρες

—

Tonight's Jazz Feature had one of the most widely recorded trumpeters from the 50's and 60's who eventually went into other fields after being a big part of Jazz for so many years. Donald Byrd was one of the many young trumpeters who reflected in their own way the influence of the late Clifford Brown, who died at age 25 in a car crash. Byrd along with Lee Morgan were the young heralds of the trumpet in the 50's and in the 60's Freddie Hubbard was added to that list. Byrd recorded a lot and this is from his period just before he left Jazz for other musical pursuits. This band was one he worked with frequently during the mid-60's. The Jazz Feature album is called "Blackjack" . It spotlights a sextet with Byrd leading alto saxophonist Sonny Red (aka Sylvester Kyner), tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, pianist Cedar Walton, Walter Booker on bass and the always smiling Billy Higgins on drums. The tunes are mostly original creations by Sonny Red and Donald Byrd. Byrd wrote the title track "Blackjack", a hip funky tune. Enjoy this fine date from Blue Note Records.…

Guitar Master Grant Green: "Green Street"

πριν 27 μέρες

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a round about tribute to St. Patrick's Day in that our Jazz Feature tonight is the initial album by master guitarist Grant Green entitled "Green Street". It was recorded by Blue Note Records on April 1,1961 but despite the date, Mr. Green was no fool! It put Grant Green who grew up in St. Louis, Missouri on the national Jazz map.as one of the two foremost guitarists to emerge in the 1960's along with Wes Montgomery. Green played the guitar like a saxophone and emphasized single lines and delivered these with his huge pure sound. He's featured here with just a trio, Green with Ben Tucker on bass and Dave Bailey on drums. The album consists of five selections with Monk's classic "Round About Midnight" being one and "Alone Together" being the other standard tune. The other three are Green's original tunes. This shows Green's talents in a pure light all the way and marked a great debut recording. "Green Street" is tonight's Jazz Feature...relax and enjoy.…

Vibraphone Master Roy Ayers: "West Coast Vibes"

πριν 5 weeks

—

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a tribute to the late vibraphonist Roy Ayers. Roy passed away recently on March 4,2025 at age 84. Although he was more famous for a style called Neo Jazz/Funk Fusion and had many hit recordings we're going to return to his more than promising debut album called "West Coast Vibes". It was done before Roy moved to that other area which he gained the most fame. Roy proved on this debut album that he was a new fresh voice of the vibraphone. It was recorded in July of 1963 in Los Angeles, Roy's home town with the fine tenor and soprano saxophonist Curtis Amy, the fine pianist Jack Wilson, Bill Plummer or Victor Gaskin on bass and Tony Bazley or Kenny Dennis on drums. The album wa produced by the great Jazz writer, Leonard Feather and gives us 10 tunes mixing standards with original compositions. "West Coast Vibes" is a fine debut for someone who went a long way in music and never lost the respect of his peers. Enjoy!…

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a previously unissued concert with an early version of Miles Davis' "Second Great Quintet" . This concert was part of the Paris Jazz Festival and recorded on Oct.1,1964 at the Salle Pleyal. It features Miles Davis on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and the teenage genius on drums, Tony Williams. The repertoire is the same as Miles had been playing for several years but was being stretched in new ways. Eventually Miles would drop many of these tunes in favor of original compositions by himself and the band but that was in the future. Everyone here is in top form and Wayne Shorter is playing here with the same intensity as he did in his many years with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Sit back and enjoy this never before heard music by one of the great bands in Jazz History.…
