“Speak Like a Child” by #HerbieHancok was recorded on March 6 and 9, 1968 at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Herbie on piano, #RonCarter on bass, #MickeyRoker on drums, #JerryDodgion on alto flute, #PeterPhillips on bass trombone and #ThadJones on flugelhorn. When Herbie hit the studio in 1968 it was his first session as a leader in nearly three years as this was his last recording with #BlueNoteRocrds. His last session as a leader was “Maiden Voyage”. In the years between these two landmark recordings, Herbie was busy playing with #MilesDavis, Ron Carter, #WayneShorter and #TonyWilliams as part of Miles’ Second Great Quintet. If you read the liner notes Herbie explains his concept of putting this session together as it seems he was heavily influenced by the work of Gil Evans, Oliver Nelson and Thad Jones three heavy hitting arrangers who compose with large groups in mind. His note’s: "All the sounds in these pieces are a product of everything I've learned, particularly in recent work with Gil Evans, and, of course, in the five years I've been with Miles and the other men in the band. I feel I have to go on more and write for horns, explore more possibilities of textures. There are things I hear in my head that I don't often hear in other people's music, and I want to get more of those down. And I keep hearing new things and I have to find out what value they have, how they work out." The first time I heard this album I was intrigued by the makeup of his front line of alto flute, bass trombone and flugelhorn. I’ve always been a Herbie and Ron Carter fan and because “Riot” and “The Sorcerer” were part of this session I wanted to compare with the classics done with Miles on “Nefertiti” and “Sorcerer”. Although these versions were nice, I preferred the versions done with Miles. This is a Liberty pressing that I think you would enjoy. I wish I hadn’t missed out when it was available on the #MusicMattersJazz website, but if they ever get around to releasing anymore this may be the first album I buy. #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #3rdStreetJazz https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYwfJXsK_6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Junior Mance "Happy Time" 私の基準、ジュニア・マンスの隠れ名ピアノ・トリオ盤をご紹介。 1962年6月20日、Plaza Sound Studios, NYC.録音。 #JazzlandRecords レーベル( JLP 77)、重量盤？ Producer - #OrrinKeepnews #JuniorMance (p) #RonCarter (b) #MickeyRoker (ds) 本作でのマンスは、さらにキ��と勢いを増したかのように弾むようなピアノを聴かせてくれます。伸びやかなトーンと強靭なビート感を持つロン・カーターのベースが加わったことで、落ち着いたソウルフルな演奏を得意とするマンスのピアノも本作ではアグレッシヴに。笑顔のジャケットとタイトル、そのままの演奏ですね。マンスらしい軽妙さはありつつ、グルーヴィな魅力はVerve時代以上、軽やかでリラックスした空気感が心地良い隠れ名演アルバムかと。 全8曲中3曲がオリジナル、ガレスピーとフラーのナンバーでアート・ペッパー"Meets The Rhythm Section"等々でも耳馴染みのスタンダードが、軽やかに演奏されます。 ノリの良い軽快なピアノ・トリオを聴きたい、と言われたら、本作はお薦めの1枚ですね。 録音評... ピアノの音質は乾いてクリアで素晴らしいですが、ベースは引っ込み過ぎでもっと前に出て欲しい。低音域が不足しているので、少々喧しく感じるのは私だけでしょうか。 1959年にVerveレーベルに名盤として名高い"Junior"というピアノ・トリオ形式のリーダー・アルバムを吹き込んで以来23年でたった5枚ほどのピアノ・トリオ作品しか残していませんが、本作はJazzlandレーベル4枚目の作品。廃盤になっていたRiversideのマスター・テープを廉価盤で再リリースするRiversideの子会社として1960年に創設されたレーベルからの新譜です。 マンスのトリオのベーシストとドラマーですが、作品ごとに交代、"Junior"ではレイ・ブラウン、本作ではマイルスのバンドに加入する前のロン・カーター。 ドラムのミッキー・ローカーのタイトな叩きっぷりも印象的。フロリダ州マイアミ生まれで、別名Granville William Mickey Roker。1959年ニューヨーク進出、ジジ・グライス、レイ・ブライアント、ジュニア・マンス等と共演、65〜67年ナンシー・ウイルソン、67〜69年デューク・ピアソン・ビッグ・バンドで演奏。60年代を通じて最も多忙なフリーランス・ドラマーの一人。70年代はPabloレーベルのハウス・ドラマーに。ハンク・ジョーンズやレイ・ブラウン���グループで度々来日。 Side 1-1 "Happy Time" (Junior Mance) 1-2 "Jitterbug Waltz" (Fats Waller) 1-3 "Out South" (Junior Mance) 1-4 "Tin Tin Deo" (Pozo-Fuller) Side 2-1 "For Dancers Only" (Sy Oliver) 2-2 "Taggie's Tune" (Junior Mance) 2-3 "Azure Te" (Bill Davis) 2-4 "Simple Waltz" (Clark Terry) #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #jazzrecords #recordcollection #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル #レコード ※作品を知り、ジャズの素晴らしさを伝えたい。様々なソースをアレンジ、先輩諸氏に感謝。 https://www.instagram.com/p/B28demcprOh/?igshid=15k0digbnezww

Spent the afternoon at the @dcrecordfair today and found a new record store @mlwl2809 my daughter and I will be visiting in the next few weeks. I also picked up this gem “That Healin’ Feelin’” by @HoraceSilver which was recorded on both April 8 and June 18, 1970, at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Silver on piano, #RandyBecker on trumpet and flugelhorn, #GeorgeColeman on tenor, #BenCranshaw on bass, #MickeyRoker on drums, #HoustonPearson on tenor, #JimmyLewis on bass, #IdrisMuhammad on drums, #AndyBey on vocals, #GailNelson on vocals and #JackieVerdell on vocals. I had been looking for this for quite some time. I have it on CD, but I’ve only been able to find blue labeled UA copies and I’ve decided I’m not purchasing any UA’s again and I’m replacing the one’s I have with Liberty’s when I come across one. My favorite piece on this album is “That Happy Medium” that seems to always make it on a playlist. . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife #3rdStreetJazz https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTO6RlPS7C/?utm_medium=tumblr
