1986 June 5 and 6 , P.S.C. Studio, Tokyo
Roger Kellaway Trio
Roger Kellaway (p), John Goldsby (b), Terry Clarke (ds)

1986年ヘレンメリルの伴奏者として来日した３名をつかまえて録音したスタンダード集です。主役のKellaway氏は1939年生まれの超ベテラン。白人らしいサラッとしたタッチから、Tatume風の暑苦しい演奏までこなします。John Goldbyはこの当時若手のベーシストで、現在でも活躍中です。Clarkeは1944年カナダの生まれで、今はアメリカで活躍中です。B2のsoloを聞くと、Art Tatumの影響が強いように思います。

Buddy Greco Trio

Buddy Greco (p,vo), unknown (b), Unknown (ds)

Buddy GrecoはGoodmanのコンボやビッグバンドで活躍したピアニストでしたが、後年はすっかり歌手になってしまいました。King ColeやMat Dennisのような存在なのでしょう。

1970年代初頭までヒット曲も出して頑張っていましたが、昨年90歳で亡くなりました。

いかにもアメリカの40‐50年代の歌手といった感じです。このLPは1970年代に再発されたきり幻化していたものです。1975年頃再発された盤です。

ジミードーシー（1904-1957）はスイング時代に活躍したアルトサックス、クラリネットの名手です。時々トランペットも吹いたようです。このＣＤは1930年代後半から40年台前半にかけて主にDeccaに録音された、Jazz的に優れた作品を集めたものです。そのため、いわゆるHit曲はほとんど含まれていない、硬派な選曲がなされています。それでも、All of Me, Tangerine, Sun Comes OutなどはHelen O'Connerの歌入りです。

ウエストコースト臭の強い編曲を交えた演奏です。題材は1920年代からのスタンダード曲ばかりで固められています。最も有名でない（であろう）By The Beautiful Seaは映画「ドーシー兄弟物語」で幼少の兄弟が演奏するシーンがあったくらいですからもっと古い曲なのかも知れません。Sweet SueではPepperのクラリネットが聞かれます。Lester Young風の音色です。
