Der Mann ist eine lebende Legende. Und die Liste der Musiker, mit denen er in seiner fast fünfzig Jahre dauernden Karriere gespielt hat, liest sich wie das Register eines Jazz-Lexikons: Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Max Roach, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Quincy Jones, Herb Ellis, Elvin Jones, Milt Jackson, Johnny Griffin und Laurindo Almeida sind die wichtigsten Bandleader, unter denen er den Ton am Baß vorgab. Der selbst gesetzten Devise "Ein gutes Zeitgefühl, gute Intonation und einen großen Ton" bleibt Ray Brown auch auf seinem neuen Soloalbum treu. Und wäre dies nicht schon im klassischen Trio-Kontext die beste Voraussetzung für eine großartige Produktion, so legt der 72-Jährige noch einen Zahn zu: Mit Gästen wie Dee Dee Bridgewater, Etta Jones oder Neuentdeckung Kevin Mahogany hat er eines der bemerkenswertesten Jazz-Vokal-Alben der letzten Jahre aus der Taufe gehoben. Auch klanglich setzt "Some Of My Best Friends Are ... Singers" Maßstäbe: Dank Telarcs Surround-Sound-Technologie erfolgt die Wiedergabe von Instrumenten, wie Stimmen, punktgenau und stets in korrekten Dimensionen. Schon über eine herkömmliche, natürlich vorausgesetzt hochwertige Übertragungskette verblüfft die Natürlichkeit der Abbildung. Weitere Alben: Ray Brown, Summertime Ray Brown, Live At Scullers Ray Brown, Triple Play Weitere CD's von und mit Oscar Peterson: Triple Play A Summer Night In Munich Count Basie meets Oscar Peterson, The Timekeepers Sarah Vaughan, How Long Has This Been Going On? Oscar Peterson & Benny Green, Oscar And Benny.
Product Information:
On this latest edition of Some of My Best Friends Are…, following Ray’s 1994 display of piano players and 1996’s look at saxophonists, Brown addresses his infatuation with singers. It’s no secret that between 1948 and 1952 Ray was married to one of the greatest ever—Ella Fitzgerald. Besides Ella, he’s worked with a distinguished list of vocalists that includes Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan. “Singers trust me,” says Ray. “I’ve been around a lot of singers in my time.”
Brown has assembled a magnificent cast of vocalists, a mix of accomplished veterans and new stars, for this …Singers album like the Grammy Award-winning Dee Dee Bridgewater, the renown Marlena Shaw and the bluesy Etta Jones. Brown said of the newcomer who’s not short on recognition, Diana Krall, “she’s loaded with talent. She’s continually improving…[and]…can sell a song. She can take an old song and make you love it. On top of that, she’s a jazz piano player and that helps her keep great time when she sings. She’s a true musician.”
Some of My Best Friends Are…Singers represents yet another edition in a seemingly never-ending stream of cohesive, well-constructed and tightly orchestrated Ray Brown CDs. Each entry in Ray’s prolific career attests to the bassist’s ability as a band leader, an arranger, and one of the most musical and technically proficient bass players in jazz history.
