Stereo only SACD Mastered for SACD by Kevin Gray & Steve Hoffman at AcousTech Mastering Original Blue Note Label Recording   Об исполнителе (группе) The lengthy notes are by Leonard Feather, & describe Morgan’s debut with Dizzy Gillespie’s big band at age 18, & his later work with Art Blakey & Jimmy Heath. Morgan—influenced by Clifford Brown as well as Gillespie—recorded prolifically up until his untimely death in 1972, when he was unfortunately shot by his wife. Joe Henderson, who died in 2001, was known during his long career for his versatility & adaptability. He even had a big band for awhile. Barry Harris, born in Toronto but still working in New York City, is known for his keyboard similarity to Bud Powell. He lived with Thelonious Monk & his family in the home of Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter & appears in 1 of the Monk video documentaries, as well as in his own film: Barry Harris—Spirit of Bebop. The big crossover hit of this session was undoubtedly the track The Sidewinder. At the time Morgan himself pointed out that the long-meter blues was not inspired by the snake, but by what Morgan called “the bad guy” on TV. Its rhythmic figure, established at the outset, is really catchy—with both a blues feeling & some Latin in it. Lee does a straightforward series of solos, & both Harris & Henderson pick up intensity as the tune goes along. (Chrysler used The Sidewinder on a TV commercial during the World Series, without the consent of either Morgan or Blue Note.) Blue Note tried to get its artists to do tunes with the “boogaloo” beat of The Sidewinder, & Morgan recorded some himself, but none ever equaled the success of The Sidewinder. (I got hooked on it when it was the theme music for a local TV show in San Francisco.) All the tunes (there is an alternate take of 1, making a total of 6) are originals by Lee Morgan. He named Totem Pole due to his alternating measures with Joe Henderson. It’s the alternate take, so you can compare the quintet’s differing treatments of this Latin groove tune on the last track. Gary’s Notebook describes a musician friend he calls “a basic guy, but kind of deep.” It is played as a fast waltz, which also applies to Boy, What a Night—which adds a more funky feeling.     Об альбоме (сборнике) The Sidewinder, Lee Morgan’s 24-bar blues with an infectious bass line & backbeat, instantly became 1 of the most popular pieces in modern jazz history. Every track on this classic album is a gem. Некоммерческая копия.Размещено исключительно в ознакомительных целях. http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/7117
