“This LP has the feel of a jam session. Trumpeter Donald Byrd co-led the date with the Charlie Parker-influenced altoist John Jenkins; their sidemen were trombonist Curtis Fuller, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor. Although the other musicians play well, it is for Jenkins’ playing that this date is most highly recommended for he did not make that many sessions before dropping out of music. Jenkins contributed three originals to this date (highlighted by the long blues “Rockaway”) which alternate with fine versions of the standards “Star Eyes” and “Darn That Dream.” This is an excellent album that deserves to be reissued on CD.” – Scott Yanow/AllMusic .

“This Here Is Bobby Timmons” by the great #BobbyTimmons was recorded January 13 and 14, 1960 in New York featuring Timmons on piano, #SamJones on bass and #JimmyCobb on drums. It was released on the Riverside label later that year and it was Timmons first recorded album as a leader although he did record “Jenkins, Jordan and Timmons” as a co-leader with #JohnJenkins and #CliffordJordan. The funny thing about this album and how it got into my collection is after I left Okinawa, Japan in the fall of 83’ and arrived in Sacramento, Cali CDs were the hot thing in Northern California and the Tower Records I used to buy my music from, and I couldn’t afford a CD player nor these new discs they were selling for that matter. I did find my first copy of this there, an OJC that I cherished, but somehow it had a long scratch on it that until this day and as careful as I was with my records, I have no idea how it got there. Once I arrived in the mainland of Japan about an hour from Tokyo my first trip to Tower Records there, I saw this current copy. The problem was the Yen rate had changed drastically and this album was now about $27 bucks. This was in 1987 and Reaganomics had hit Japan like a typhoon. I love trios and my love for Bobby Timmons made me fork over the $27 bucks for this album. My favorite tunes on this album are “Moanin’” and “Dat Dere” mainly because I love these two pieces on the Messenger’s “Moanin’” album as well. The only thing this version of “Moanin’” is missing is #LeeMorgan opening solo, but Bobby all but makes up for it with his hi-voltage playing along with Sam Jones deep bass sound and Jimmy Cobb’s uplifting beat. This album is a must for your collection if you don’t have it. . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife #MoneyJungle @3rdStreetJazz #3rdStreetJazz #jazzrecord #riversiderecords https://www.instagram.com/p/CUGwiilMPoA/?utm_medium=tumblr

I was both lovely and humbling to meet and photograph John Jenkins recently. The 99 year old went to sea as a bellboy on Cunard’s Mauretania aged just 14. He went on to storm the Normandy beaches in 1944 and received a standing ovation from heads of state, including the queen, at the D-Day 75th anniversary commemorations in Portsmouth earlier this month. He’ll celebrate his centenary birthday in November and I’ll certainly be raising a glass to his health! . . . . #JohnJenkins #bellboy #Cunard #livinglegend #canonuk #qm2 #dday75 #ddayveteran #instasmile #portrait (at RMS Queen Mary 2) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzKWKHyFTlG/?igshid=110jgl91m9tq

Hank Mobley "Hank" 1957年4月21日、Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, NJ録音。 バリバリのハード・バップを聴きたければ本作は、オススメ！ モブレイの名盤は主に1960年代で、本作は彼の作品の中では完璧に埋もれた存在。しかし、モブレイの1950年代ハード・バップ作品と言うことが、本作の最大のポイント！彼を知るための原点とも言うべきセクステットで録音された貴重な作品、必聴の価値あり！全員がノリノリのファンキー・ジャズ！カバーも抜群にカッコいい。 しかし、音質はいつもの #BlueNote ... フロント3管を聴けば素晴らしい音色だが、それに比べて硬くて狭い音域のピアノ、ティモンズなのに... 。メンバーがメンバーだけに悔やまれる... 。Shure SC35C だと籠りがち、Sumico Pearl だと尖る。 Producer - #AlfredLion #HankMobley (ts), #JohnJenkins (as), #DonaldByrd (tp), #BobbyTimmons (p), #WilburWare (b), #PhillyJoeJones (ds) カバー裏面には、堂々と"Hank Mobley Sextet"と。 盤イチは、冒頭の"Fit For A Hanker"、針を落とした瞬間にぐっと引き込まれてしまう。 本作の聴きたくなる理由はここだ。 1. BLP 1560！Blue Note で傑作と呼ばれている作品が多いのは、生産されたレコードの番号1500番台および4000番台。その1956年からスタートした1500番台98タイトルの一つであること。 2. Jazz Messengers絡み。モブレイは1954,1955年録音でハード・バップを確立したと言われる"Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers"に参加。Blue Noteのアルフレッドライオンが、Birdlandでのブレイキー、シルヴァーらメンバーたちの名演(ハード・バップの誕生と言われる)が忘れられず、シルヴァーに持ちかけて制作したアルバムが"Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers"。シルヴァーが選んだメンバーが、ケニー・ドーハム(tp)、ダグ・ワトキンス(b)、アート・ブレイキー(ds)、そして本作のハンク・モブレイ(ts)のクインテット。そして1955年にホレス・シルヴァー(p)を初代リーダーとして結成された｢ジャズ・メッセンジャーズ｣。本作は1956年にシルヴァーが脱退し分裂後の初期のリーダー作の一つだから、このコンボで培ったバリバリのハード・バップ！ 3.JM分裂後は、一部を除き、ブレイキーとシルヴァーの共演はないため、ドラムはフィリー・ジョー・ジョーンズが務める。 4.若きBlue Noteのハード・バップ。JMのドナルド・バード(tp)、地味だがキレのあるジョン・ジェンキンス(as)、そしてモブレイの3管！それぞれ豪快に吹きまくる"Easy To Love"、"Dance Of The Infields"が渋い！この時代のBlue Noteならではの若さと熱気溢れるハード・バップ！ 派手さはなく地味に感じるブロウの中に｢粋｣と｢侘び寂び｣を感じる。重たくない分、爽快感もあり、歌心もある。 ピアノはMr.ファンキーのティモンズ、ちなみに彼は、この後1958年からJMに参加し頭角を現す。 イギリスの評論家レナード・フェザーによって｢テナーのミドル級チャンピオン｣と呼ばれ、彼が平凡であるかのように思われるが、実際はジョン・コルトレーンほど鋭くなく、スタン・ゲッツほど円やかでもない音色との評価。モブレイの演奏は、ソニー・ロリンズやコルトレーンと比較すると明らかなように、落ち着きがあって精妙かつ歌謡的であり、ジュニア・クックやジョージ・コールマン、ジョー・ヘンダーソンらに影響を与え、その才能が識者に完全に評価されるには没後となる。 #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #jazzrecords #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル ※作品のことを知って、ジャズを好きになって欲しいから、様々なソースをアレンジしています。先輩諸氏に感謝します。 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKu6WSAjqP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=149iem26abhe
