Digipack - feat. Cootie Williams & Rex Stewart
*** Japan-Import
Die Idee hinter diesem Album wurde im Jazz häufig in die Tat umgesetzt: Das Zusammenspiel zweier außergewöhnlicher Solisten, die beide das gleiche Instrument spielen. In diesem Fall besonders gelungen mit den beiden Bläsern Cootie Williams und Rex Stewart, die auch schon in Fletcher Henderson's Band und bei Duke Ellington zusammen gespielt haben. Großartig ist auch das Zusammenspiel mit Cootie's Lieblingstenorsaxophonisten Coleman Hawkins, sowie die Aufnahme mit Bud Freeman, und Lawrence Brown sowie J C Higginbotham.
Unter der Leitung des Jazzkomponisten George T. Simon wurde dieses Album im Original als Mono-LP auf dem Jazztone Label veröffentlicht. Zu einem spätere Zeitpunkt dann aber auch in Stereo auf dem Urania Label mit dem Titel Jazz at Stereoville .
The idea of this album was one often found in jazz: the pairing of outstanding soloists on the same horn, with an eye on the competitive atmosphere thus created. In this case the chosen musicians were brassmen Cootie Williams and Rex Stewart, who had been partners in the bands of Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington.
Although co-leaders, they had paired alongside them some of the greatest swingers in the history of jazz, including tenor saxists Coleman Hawkins, a particular idol of Cootie’s, and Bud Freeman, and trombonists Lawrence Brown and J. C. Higginbotham.
Hawk’s art, in particular, went beyond schools, eras, and style; his elegant simplicity and his stark, monolithic, dominating sound are among the high points of the entire album. For the record, Cootie’s plea to “don’t just put us in the studio and tell everybody to blow, please,” was met by assigning the arranging chores to Ernie Wilkins and Joe Thomas.
The results were brilliant, simultaneously redolent of an era of mainstream jazz, yet also sounding as freshly minted as the day they were made. (freshsoundrecords. com)
