John Coltrane "Lush Life" 久し振りのトレーンです。超気になっていたアルバム。あれっ？ジャケットってイラストだったかなぁ？ オリジナルはPrestige PRLP 7188ですが、本盤は7581... ？？？。 実は、Prestigeでは珍しくない品番とジャケットデザインを変えた再発盤らしく、カヴァー・デザインはDon Schlitten、アートはIrving Riggsでサイン入り、Prestige再発盤でたびたび登場するデザイナーみたいですね。 この再発盤が出たのは、ライナーの筆者名の後にある1968年6月からするとトレーン没後1年くらいのことで、もう彼はジャズ史の巨匠になっていたことを考えると、逆に費用をかけてイラストを登用した追悼盤的な再発盤ではないかと推測。 私的には、初のVAN GELDERの刻印入りで、"This Album Has ELECTRONICALLY REMASTERED For STEREO"の表記があり擬似ステレオなのですが、えっ？と思い、ヘッドフォンでも確認、どう聴いてもこれはMonophonic... 不思議です。 この時期のヴァン・ゲルダーがマスタリングしたステレオ盤は、VAN GELDERの刻印のほかに必ずSTEREOの刻印が入ってるそうなのですが、本盤のデッドワックスにはその刻印がありません... ミステリアスで貴重なアルバム？リアルのMonophonic盤を手に入れてみたいものですね。 迷わずShure M44-7の針を落とします。艶が増すからです。 トレーンのテナーの音色は、とてもセクシー。Blue Noteより硬めで軽くて薄いRVGって感じでしょうか。ピアノは相変わらずレンジが狭いチープな音色... 。 収録曲に関しては、Prestigeお得意の... 1957年5月31日(Side B-2), 1957年8月16日(Side A1-3), 1958年1月10日(Side B-1), Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack録音、3つのセッションの寄せ集め。 トレーンは、1957年3月にマイルスバンド時代の同僚であったピアニストのレッド・ガーランドの紹介でPrestigeと契約します。Side B-2 "I Hear A Rhapsody"の一曲だけは1957年5月31日録音なので、初リーダー・アルバム"Coltrane" (PRLP 7105)と同セッション、記念すべきファースト・レコーディングがここに収録されているのは貴重かつ不思議。 トレーンは、何故物悲しいのでしょうか。マイルス・バンドで一緒だった、ウイントン・ケリーやキャノンボール・アダレイを聴いた後では、特にそう思います。マイナー調ではないのですが、切ないですよね。 とは言っても、本作はトレーンの中では、伸び伸びした演奏だと思います。何かしようとか伝えようと言った彼っぽい強い意思や主張がまださほど感じられない、いい意味でトレーンらしくないところを私は評価したい作品です。バリバリ、トレーン派には物足りないでしょう。 Side Aの3曲は、大変珍しいテナーとベースとドラムのトリオ。ピアノのリードがないので、シンプルで解き放たれたような自由な演奏に注目。 Side B冒頭、タイトル・ナンバー"Lush Life"では一転、レッド・ガーランドの実に美しいピアノとドナルド・バードの哀愁感漂うトランペットのソロ共演が芸術的。 彼は本作録音当時の1957年にマイルス・デイヴィスを一時的に離れ、セロニアス・モンクのカルテットに参加。自身が後に語っているようにセロニアス・モンクからの影響も強く伺え、代名詞でもある"シーツ・オブ・サウンド"が完成されつつあるPrestige初期のコルトレーンの貴重なリリシズムが堪能出来る作品と言われています。トレーンがまだフリー路線に向かう前の自身のスタイルを模索していた時期です。 是非とも、一聴をお薦めします。 Side A1-3 #JohnColtrane (ts) #EarlMay (b) #ArtTaylor (ds) Side B1-2 John Coltrane (ts) #RedGarland (p) #PaulChambers (b) #DonaldByrd (tp, track B1) #LouisHayes (ds, track B1) #AlbertHeath (ds, track B2) ズバリ！ビギナーに聴きやすい新人トレーン！と言う作品だと思います。 #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル #レコード *作品を知るとジャズはもっと輝きます。情報くださる先輩諸氏に感謝。 https://www.instagram.com/p/CaL7CtxvexE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sunny Haze
It took me my entire freshmen year to realize how important nature is to me. When I was away at school at the University of Kansas (KU), my friends and I would always make it a habit to routinely visit a little plant nursery called Earl May. We even started to go so often that the workers started to recognize us. And the funny thing is, the majority of the time we went in, we never ended up buying anything. The only reason we would go was for the atmosphere. Oh, and we all love plants so there’s that too!
Earl May is a quaint nursery that I had actually overlooked several times before my first visit. It’s off of a very busy street but I only truly realized what it was when I commented on a friend’s Instagram post asking where she got her air plants.
Upon entering Earl May you are immediately engulfed in green. The front entrance leads you directly to a handful of small succulents, viny pothos, and a little fountain to the left. Whenever I go to Earl May, the first steps into the establishment are always the most crucial. As the door swings open, fresh and cool air takes me back. Then the green hits me eyes and the soft pitter-patter of the fountain hits my ear drums. The combination of all these elements relaxes me and makes me feel like I've just been transported to a rain forest.
There are potted plants on the floor, small cacti and succulent on small tables and shelves, and viny plants hanging overhead. Practically every inch of this store is cover in beautiful flora and I just love it! Over the course of the year I actually ended up with 10 plants in my dorm room! Yes, I said 10!
Now, since I've been back home from school, I've gone to Forest Park, two plant nurseries, and even unexpectedly ended up applying for a job at one of them after casually chatting up one of the friendly employees.
Since I didn't have my own car at school, I always ended up going to Earl May because a friend wanted to go; but now that I’m home and on my own, it seems like I just automatically end up at these places.
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. And I've noticed that whenever I get stressed out, something inside me tells me to run. It tells me to run away and to go hide myself in nature. To immerse myself in it. To stick my nose, my hands, and fingers in nature, and to just close my eyes for a moment and take it all in.
After leaving Early May or one of the many plant nurseries I've been to, I always leave feeling refreshed and revitalized. So, the next time you go to a nursery, or just take a stroll through the park, think about how you feel before and after. Do you feel refreshed liked you’re ready to take on the world?
Photos are from various nurseries in St. Louis and Lawrence including: Bowood Farms, Early May, and Garden Heights Nursery.
Today’s Lessons:
Immerse yourself in nature
Find what helps you fend off stress
Own plants because they are just as rewarding as raising kids but if you kill them it’s not that big of a deal... (but try not to kill them though!)
