New York City Jazz Playlist

A variety of styles from a variety of eras, but all fantastic jazz made by New Yorkers, either native or transplanted. Clocking in at under an hour, these ten tracks span the late 1930s to the late  1990s, mixing vocal tracks and instrumentals, live performances and studio tracks. There’s a bunch of legends like Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis, as well as a couple lesser-known artists like Dave Hillyard sprinkled in. The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, also finds herself on here, a couple years before she would launch into the stratosphere.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible and links are provided below to songs that have been posted about previously in order to give them more context:

Glen Miller - “Glen Miller’s in the Mood” Louis Armstrong - “Mack the Knife” Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - “Moanin’” Miles Davis - “So What” Tony Bennett - “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” Stan Getz - “The Gril From Ipanema” Aretha Franklin - “Love for Sale” Buddy Rich and His Orchestra feat. Dizzy Gillespie - “Two Bass Hit” Weather Report - “Birdland” The Dave Hillyard Rocksteady 7 - “Playtime”

More to come, eventually.

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet In San Francisco // Cannonball Adderley (Riverside RLP 12-311)

2019 is almost over and I have a ton of albums that I’ve acquired throughout the year that I haven’t yet gotten around to writing about. In the waning days of the decade, I’m attempting to correct that. The last time I was back home in California this past March, I made a stop by the local record store and grabbed numerous albums. My grandpa made comments on what I had gotten, many of which I…

Spontaneous Combustion – Cannonball Adderley

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco is the album credited as launching the genre “soul jazz”, bridging the gap between bebop and funk. Adderley himself was not found of the term:

We were pressured quite heavily by Riverside Records when they discovered there was a word called 'soul'. We became, from an image point of view, soul jazz artists. They kept promoting us that way and I kept deliberately fighting it, to the extent that it became a game.

Even though Cannonball didn’t like the soul jazz label, his tune, Spontaneous Combustion, perfectly epitomises the gospel-informed, down-home, blues sound, including a hallmark “call-and-response” between Cannonball on alto sax and his brother Nat on cornet.

Anchoring the horns of the Adderley brothers is the rhythm section of Bobby Timmons on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums.

The album broke new ground as a live recording taped in a noisy club environment, at San Francisco’s The Jazz Workshop in 1959. It was described by one producer and jazz critic as "the birth of contemporary live recording", and it became the new staple for jazz record producers.

Julian "Cannonball" Adderley ‎"Straight, No Chaser" 私としては、まるで発掘発見をしたようなアルバムです。キャノンボールの名作3枚から、未収録曲と別テイクを収めた実に期待感をそそるアルバムです。 収録曲はたった4曲で、あっと言う間です。それぞれどんな楽曲なのでしょうか。 録音評ですが、原盤は3枚とも所有していますので、比較してみるのも楽しみです。 ビクター音楽産業からのComplete Collection Of Riverside Jazz Giants という興味深いシリーズ「エヴァンス、ウエス、キャノンボール、モンク。これら4人のいまは亡きモダン・ジャズ・ジャイアンツが、彼らの絶頂期にリバーサイド・レーベルに残した貴重な未発表演奏を完全収録」の5枚目、「夭折した名アルト、キャノンボール・アダレイの貴重な未発表曲集。名作『イン・サンフランシスコ』に未発表の同日のライブによるタイトル曲他、B・エヴァンスとの共演による3曲収録」とは帯の解説。#RiversideRecords ‎– VIJ-4030 冒頭 "Straight, No Chaser" Milestoneレーベル #CannonballAdderley (as) #SamJones (b) #NatAdderley (cor) #LouisHayes (ds) # BobbyTimmons (p) ライヴ名作"Cannonball Adderley Quintet In San Francisco" 1959年10月18or20日録音、マイルス・セクステットを退団後、弟のナット・アダレイと満を持して再結成したクインテットによる、キャノンボールのリバーサイド時代最大のヒット・アルバム。この時の音源で、LP未収録。モンクの有名なオリジナル曲。後にボーナス・トラックとしてCDには収録。原盤より音はあまり良くないですが、リズム・セクションのファンキーなソロが聴き処。 Side1の2曲目 "Know What I Mean?" Milestoneレーベル #CannonballAdderley (as) #PercyHeath (b) #ConnieKay (ds) #BillEvans (p) "Cannonball Adderley with Bill Evance"1961年1月27日録音の超有名アルバム・タイトル曲の別テイク。原盤では冒頭キャノンボールのアルトに続いてエヴァンスのピアノ・ソロがメインでベースに繋ぎアップテンポから後半はキャノンボールとエヴァンスへ。本盤では冒頭のキャノンボールのアルトが際立ち、続くエヴァンスもベースも控えめで、キャノンボールのアルトが際立つ展開、後半はエヴァンスとキャノンボールのインタープレイが多いですね。ベースやドラムスも結構違うので、別の曲のようです。 私は、ちょっとしつこい本盤の方が好きですね。 裏面1曲目は "Minority"のTake 2で2曲目は "Minority"のTake 3 #CannonballAdderley (as) #SamJones (b) #PhillyJoe Jones (ds) #BillEvans (p) #BlueMitchell (tp) "Portrait Of Cannonball" 1958年7月1日録音、自己のリーダ作としてRiversideレーベルに吹き込んだ一作目で、エキサイティングなハードバップ・アルバムの1つ。 原盤、冒頭からまるでリーダー作品のようにミッチェルのトランペットが炸裂、エヴァンスのソロ、ミッチェルとフィリー・ジョーの強烈なドラムスが聴き処、終盤にキャノンボールが少しのソロとユニゾンで登場しますが、その前後もミッチェルです。締めはキャノンボール。 原盤とTake 2はほとんど同じ。音質は軽いです。 Take 3は冒頭や最後のキャノンボール、ミッチェルのアドリブの違いに気付きますが、これがジャズ。締めは、ミッチェル。ちなみに原盤は、MONOなのでGrado MC+ MONOで聴いてみましたが、ミッチェルのトランペットがナチュラルで耳障りが良くキャノンボールのアルトも甘くて、最も良い音色ですよ。 世紀の名作"Something Else"を録音する2か月前、マイルスグループ在団中のキャノンボールのリーダー作。マイルスバンドでの盟友ビル・エヴァンスを迎えて制作した作品。"Minority"は、古典的なGigi Gryceナンバーで後にCDに収録。 #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル #レコード #ビニールレコード *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/CepyTCLPC7H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1960s Jazz Playlist

The field of jazz in the 1960s was really vast and varied. There were so many styles, so many artists, and so many scenes. One cannot possibly do the decade justice in a handful of songs, so, instead, this playlist is a mix of classics with lesser-known and totally unknown songs. You’ll find legendary vocalists like Dinah Washington, Tony Bennett, and the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, before she earned her sobriquet. There’s brilliant instrumentals like Oscar Peterson’s plaintive “Hymn to Freedom” and jaunts from the likes of Jimmy Smith and Cannonball Adderley. The garage flavorings of the virtually unknown Quintette Plus appear on here twice, and closing out the whole thing is the smooth Hawaiian cocktail style of Arthur Lyman.

This playlist, like all the playlists I post, is ordered as chronologically as possible.

Dinah Washington - “Mad About the Boy” Tony Bennett - “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” Oscar Peterson - “Hymn to Freedom” Billy Taylor Trio - “I Wish I Knew” Aretha Franklin - “Love for Sale” The Quintette Plus - “Summertime” The Quintette Plus - “The Work Song” Jimmy Smith - “I Got My Mojo Working” The Cannonball Adderley Quintet - “The Sticks” Cannonball Adderley - “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” Arthur Lyman Group - “Sunny”

Soul jazz

84) - jest rozwinięciem jazzu obejmującego silne wpływy bluesa, soulu, gospel i rytmu i bluesa w muzyce dla małych grup, często organowe trio z organami Hammonda. Soul jazz jest często kojarzony z hard bop. Mark C. Gridley, pisząc dla All Music Guide to Jazz, wyjaśnia, że ​​soul jazz bardziej konkretnie odnosi się do muzyki z "ziemistą, bluesową melodyczną koncepcją" i "powtarzalnymi, tanecznymi rytmami ... Pamiętaj, że niektórzy słuchacze nie robią rozróżnienie pomiędzy "soul-jazz" i "funky hard bop" i wielu muzyków nie uważa "soul-jazz" za ciągły z "hard bop". Roy Carr opisuje duszy jazz jako wyrost hard bopa , z terminami "funk" i "soul" pojawiającymi się w kontekście jazzu już w połowie lat pięćdziesiątych XX w., aby opisać "bluźnierczone przez gospel, down-home, call-and-response blues". Carr zauważa również uznany wpływ nagrań grupy małych Charlesa Ray'a (w tym saksofonistów Davida "Fathead" Newmana i Hanka Crawforda) z Horacym Silverem, Artem Blakeyem, Cannonballem Adderleyem i Miltem Jacksonem. Soul Jazz rozwinął się pod koniec lat 50. XX wieku, osiągając publiczną świadomość dzięki wydaniu The Cannonball Adderley Quintet w San Francisco. Cannonball Adderley zauważyła: "Byliśmy pod presją Riverside Records, kiedy odkryli, że jest tam słowo "soul", z artystycznego punktu widzenia stałymi artystami jazzowymi, którzy promowali nas w ten sposób i celowo walczyłem do tego stopnia, że ​​stała się grą." Chociaż soul jazz był najpopularniejszy w połowie lat sześćdziesiątych, wiele soulowych wykonawców jazzowych i elementy muzyki pozostają popularne. Na przykład Jazz Crusaders ewoluowało od soulowego jazzu do soulowej muzyki, stając się w ten sposób The Crusaders. Carr umieszcza Davida Sanborna i Maceo Parkera w linii saksofonistów altowych, w skład których wchodzą Earl Bostic i Tab Smith, a Adderley, a następnie Lou Donaldson, jako najsilniejsze ogniwa w łańcuchu. Niektóre znane nagrania jazzowe dla duszy to Curtis Fuller's Five Spot after Dark (1957), Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder (1963), Samba Blues Franka Fostera (1963), Herba Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island" (1964) (który został spopularyzowany podczas próbkowania) US3 na "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" prawie 30 lat później, w 1993), "Song for My Father" Horace'a Silver'a (1964), "The In In Crowd" Ramseya Lewisa (hit z pierwszej piątki w 1965 roku) i "Cannonball Adderley's" Mercy, Mercy, Mercy " (1966) (również spopularyzowane dalej, gdy w przyszłym roku został nakryty jako 40 najpopularniejszy utwór The Buckinghams). Album Les McCann i Eddie Harris Swiss Movement (1969) był hitem, podobnie jak towarzyszący singiel "Compared to What", sprzedając miliony jednostek. Ważnymi organistami soulowego jazzu są Bill Doggett, Baby Face Willette, Jimmy Smith, Charles Earland, Richard "Groove" Holmes, "Brat" Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff, Dr Lonnie Smith, Big John Patton, Freddie Roach , Larry Young, Don Patterson, Shirley Scott, Hank Marr, Reuben Wilson i Johnny Hammond Smith. Saksofon i gitara są również ważne w soul jazz; klimaty soul jazzowe to: Lou Donaldson, Stanley Turrentine, Hank Crawford, Gene Ammons, Eddie Harris, Houston Person i Ramon Morris; gitarzyści to Grant Green, Melvin Sparks, O'Donel Levy, Phil Upchurch, David T. Walker i George Benson. Inni ważni gracze to pianiści Horace Silver i Les McCann, grający na korcie Nat Adderley, trębacz Lee Morgan, grający na puzonie Curtis Fuller, basista Wilbur Bascomb i perkusiści Idris Muhammad (Leo Morris), Les DeMerle i Paul Humphrey.
