desertcart.com The late producer, record-company owner, and impresario Norman Granz created the legendary Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts and broke down segregation on the bandstand and in the audience. This newly discovered recording of a November 2, 1949, Carnegie Hall date highlights the torrid, jam-session style that made J.A.T.P. famous. The frontline is awesome: alto saxophonists Charlie Parker and a young Sonny Criss; Flip Phillips on tenor sax; trombonist Tommy Turk and trumpeter Fats Navarro. Backed by drummer Buddy Rich, pianist Hank Jones, and bassist Ray Brown, this group lays down the real mainstream deal. Nat "King" Cole's "Leap Here," and the standards "Lover Come Back to Me" and "Indiana" are injected with some zesty bebop licks by Parker, Criss, and Navarro. On "The Things We Did Last Summer," the trumpeter shines in balladeer mode. Special guest Coleman Hawkins, with his towering tenor sax tones, turns in a masterful rendition of Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady," and he swings down the house on the Thelonious Monk-ish "Rifftide." The less than desired sound quality is wonderfully counterbalanced by the group's superb musicianship. --Eugene Holley Jr. Review: Fascinating window into a transitional time in jazz. - There's so much great music on this cd. But what I find fascinating about it is hearing the changing of the guard taking place in jazz in the course of one concert. Interestingly, Bird doesn't get the crowed worked up, although he clearly plays better than Flip Phillips, who does get the crowd going. Bird does his astounding thing, without whoops, skronks or honks, and time perhaps can judge it better than the listeners at Carnegie Hall. Also wonderful is Coleman Hawkins, who, in the second half of the concert, presents a gorgeous clinic in the old school stuff. One of the best JAPT's. Review: Good Groove - Indiana is actually Fat's - Ice Freezes Red, a good medium tune based on Back Home In Indiana. And yes, Shelly Manne from Brooklyn is the drummer not Buddy Rich.

Good Groove
Indiana is actually Fat's - Ice Freezes Red, a good medium tune based on Back Home In Indiana. And yes, Shelly Manne from Brooklyn is the drummer not Buddy Rich.

great product. the song EMBRACEABLE YOU is a gem
great product.the song EMBRACEABLE YOU is a gem.ON this song it shows the stylistic differences of 2 great players LESTER YOUNG AND CHARLIE PARKER.THE suggestion of the melody by YOUNG and the soaring grace of PARKER shows the way 2 great players can have a different take on a song and both are beautifully executed.

Sound quality, understandably, is not brilliant [it's 1949] , but all the players amply demonstrate their abilities. Parker, Hawkins, Criss and a rhythm section of Hank Jones, Ray Brown and Shelly Manne - are all excellent, but the standout performance is surely Fats Navarro, reflective and soulful on a lovely version of "The Things We Did Last Summer". His death was one of the major losses of the period. The music then is fine, but Norman Granz sounds as though he's on the other end of a tin can and string 'telephone'. Still, worth getting especially for followers of the estimable Granz's historic concert series

JATP以前LPで 数枚持っていて大事に仕舞いこんでいたが ちょっとしたミスで処分してしまった。 何年か前CDで探したが見つけられず、最近目についたので購入 期待通りのモダンジャズ、当時の録音の物で少し音質には？ その内に、当時一番気に入ったアルバムも発見できるだろう。
