Johnny Hodges and his Orchestra

Harold "Shorty" Baker (tp), Quentin Jackson (tb), Johnny Hodges (as), Jimmy Hamilton (cl), Don Byas (ts), Raymond Fol (p), Wendell Marshall(b), Butch Ballard (ds)

渡欧したColeman HawkinsとJohnny Hodges一党を捕まえて仏Vogueが録音した音源が何故かRCA-VictorからCDとなって出されたのがこの盤です。Nat PeckはGlenn Miller楽団で渡欧しそのままフランスに居残ったアメリカ出身のトロンボーン奏者です。Kenny Clarkeも1940年代以降フランス滞在が長かったのですが、帰米してからの方が活躍しました。

Hodgesの2つのセッションはEllingtonianが多く含まれていますが、Don Byas (1921-1972, ts)とRaymond Fol(1928-1979, p)だけは別系統です。ByasはSwing派ともModern派ともつかない不思議な活躍をした人ですが、根はSwingだったと思います。

演奏は、どうというものではありません。普通の箍の緩んだSwing Jazzです。

Singin' in the Rain / Roger Kellaway

こんばんは、JazzyIsshiです。12月になってやっと冬らしくなってきました。今夜は割とHotなピアノのRoger Kellawayのトリオです。

Singin' in the Rain / Roger Kellaway
K28P-6458

A
 1 People Will Say We're In Love (Rodgers-Hammerstein)
 2 Dancing In The Dark (Schwartz-Dietz)

B
 1 Try To Remember (Schmidt-Jones)
 2 I've Grown Acustomed To Her Face (Lowe-Lerner)
 3 Darn That Dream (Hewsen-DeLange)
 4 We Kiss In A shadow (Rodgers-Hammerstein)
 5 A Sleepin' Bee (Capola-Arleni)

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。
