Trio’s are not boring or mundane to me, especially if done right, they all have their own vibe or voice. Even if they come from the same genre or era. This one is pretty upbeat!

Booker Little "Booker Little and Friend 本作、｢新主流派｣過渡期。チャレンジであり、何か変えよう、変えたいと言う意思を感じる。1961年8月か9月、Stereo感の強い録音、洒落た新しい感覚のハードバップ。61年なので、まだバリバリ｢モード・ジャズ｣まではいかないが、明らかにハードバップの成熟型というか、そのすぐ先に｢モード・ジャズ｣を見据えた、当時としては最先端の自由なハードバップでは。 そして、23歳で夭逝してしまった伝説の天才トランペッター、ブッカー・リトル最後のアルバムである！ #BethlehemRecords レーベル。たった4枚のリーダー・アルバムの中で最も人気の高い名盤で、死の数週間前にレコーディングされたもの。 ｢クリフォード・ブラウン｣のスタイルをベースに、バランスの取れた、柔和で少しエッジの丸いフレージング。ブッカー・リトルのプレイ・スタイルは、このアルバムで完成されている。この時点で23歳であったというのが、信じられないほどの完成度。だからこそ、誰もが彼の早逝には｢無念｣の想い。聴いてその完成度に感嘆し、やがて悲しき好盤。 #BookerLittle (tp) #JulianPriester (tb) #GeorgeColeman (ts) #DonFriedman (p) #ReggieWorkman (b) #PeteLaRoca (ds) このパーソネルにも期待が膨らむ。当時サイドメンとしての録音も多く将来の活躍が期待されていた新進気鋭の若手ミュージシャンたち。ハード・バップのエッセンスを持ちながらも新たな時代に目を向け、新たな音楽を創造していこうという演奏。 1960年代のいわゆる｢新主流派｣初期を代表する1枚。従来の形にとらわれないスタンダードではないスタイル、フリージャズに確実に向かっている。 #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #jazzrecords #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル #ブッカーリトル

At the age of twenty-four, Nina came to the attention of the record industry. After submitting a demo of songs she had recorded during a performance in New Hope, Pennsylvania, she was signed by Syd Nathan, owner of the Ohio-based King Records (home to James Brown), to his Jazz imprint, Bethlehem Records. The boisterous Nathan had insisted on choosing songs for her debut set, but eventually relented and allowed Nina to delve in the repertoire she had been performing at clubs up and down the eastern seaboard. One of Nina’s stated musical influences was Billie Holiday and her inspired reading of “Porgy” (from “Porgy & Bess”) heralded the arrival of a new talent on the national scene. At the same mammoth 13 hour session in 1957, recorded in New York City, Nina also cut “My Baby Just Cares For Me,” previously recorded by Nate King Cole, Count Basie, and Woody Herman. The song was used by Chanel in a perfume commercial in Europe in the 1980’s and it became a massive hit for Nina, a British chart topper at #5, and thus a staple of her repertoire for the rest of her career. Nina Simone’s stay with Bethlehem Records was short lived and in 1959, after moving to New York City, she was signed by Joyce Selznik, the eastern talent scout for Colpix Records, a division of Columbia Pictures. Months after the release of her debut LP for the label (1959‘s The Amazing Nina Simone), Nina was performing at her first major New York City venue, the mid-Manhattan-located Town Hall. Sensing that her live performances would capture the essential spontaneity of her artistry, Colpix opted to record her September 12, 1959 show. “You Can Have Him,” a glorious torch song previously cut by Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald, was one of the highlights of the evening. The song opened with a dazzling keyboard arpeggio that would become her signature for decades. So momentous was the Town Hall performance that it inspired some of the same musicians, featuring the vocals of Nina’s only daughter, Lisa Simone Kelly, to do a tribute to a sold out audience over forty five years later. #ninasimone #lisasimonekelly #townhall #colpix #chanel #porgyandbess #iputaspellonyou #bethlehemrecords
