Dizzy Gillespie And His Sextets And Orchestra – Shaw ‘Nuff

“Those who only know Gillespie from his 1950s efforts onwards can have no conception as to the veritable force of nature his trumpet playing was in the 1940s. This CD collation of the earliest sides under his leadership, made for tiny labels such as Guild and Musicraft, will have your jaw sagging in amazement as he consistently delivers ideas that top even those of Parker. Just to keep it interesting, Gillespie also wrote some of the most enduring bop anthems, and many of them get their first outings here. These sessions, like the Parker Savoys, are the holy tablets of bop. ” (JazzWise).

Today In History Dizzy Gillespie, famed jazz trumpeter was born in Cheraw, South Carolina on this date October 21 1917. A trumpet virtuoso and improviser, building on the virtuosic style of Roy Eldridge, but adding layers of harmonic and rhythmic complexity previously unheard in jazz. Gillespie played with Charlie Parker and developed the music known as “bebop.” Dizzy Gillespie beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, scat singing, bent horn, pouched cheeks, and light-hearted personality provided one of bebop's most prominent symbols. His best-known compositions include “Oop Bob Sh’ Bam,” “Salt Peanuts” and “A Night in Tunisia.” CARTER™️ Magazine carter-mag.com #wherehistoryandhiphopmeet #historyandhiphop365 #carter #cartermagazine #dizzygillespie #jazz #bebop #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #history #staywoke https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj-fFzMr2hd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tito Puente (born Ernest Anthony Puente Jr., 20 April 1923 - 1 June 2000)

Oscar Peterson & Dizzy Gillespie 二人の巨匠、華麗なピアニストのピーターソンとお洒落なトランペット奏者のディジー・ガレスピーの正真正銘、二人だけの名演奏を収めた大傑作デュオ・アルバム、私としては大発見！ それにしても、二人とも凄まじいテクニックです。だからと言って、決して我が儘ではないし、ちゃんと調和しています。 1974年11月28,29日, Advision Studios, London, England録音、#PabloRecords ‎(2310-740)、日本のポリドール｢世界初の音の革命｣SAL74 System(MW 2165)。Pabloのデュオ企画の第1弾として発表されたのが本作、Pabloお得意のモノクロ写真にスクリプト書体のジャケット。 収録曲の半分は"Caravan","Autumn Leaves"など超有名なスタンダード・ナンバー、ガレスピーのオリジナル曲と二人の即興によるブルースと言う構成。何てお洒落なアルバムなんでしょう。またしても思いがけない出会い、ジャズは底知れない魔力がありますね。 さらに、音質も目の前にいるかのようなリアリティーで素晴らしいです。突き刺さるようなディジーのトランペットの音色も嫌味が全くありません。勿論、Sumico Pearlの繊細な表現力あってのこと。センターにディジー、ピーターソンは背後を取り囲むように左が低音域、右が高音域。立体感が素晴らしい。 難解なジャズが主流の70年代ですが、とても分かりやすいノリノリのハイスピード&ハイセンスな最上級の名演純粋ジャズ。彼らの経験に裏打ちされた独特の解釈で、二人の世界に吸い込まれてしまいます。 ピーターソンは70年代、毎年のように来日、日本での人気はこの頃がピーク。Pablo Recordsでは物凄い勢いでレコーディングを行い、この時期だけで20枚以上のアルバムを発表。その中でも特に注目を浴びたのが、本作を含む大物ミュージシャンとのデュオ企画で、｢ピーターソンと誰それ｣というタイトルのアルバムが10枚もあるらしい。これはまた、集めてみたい気になりますね。 #OscarPeterson (p) #DizzyGillespie (tp) Producer - #NormanGranz Liner Notes - #BennyGreen Photography - #PhilStern Side A A-1."Caravan" (Duke Ellington, Irving Mills, Juan Tizol) A-2."Mozambique" (Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson) A-3."Autumn Leaves" (Joseph Kosma, Johnny Mercer, Jacques Prévert) A-4."Close Your Eyes" (Bernice Petkere) Side B B-1."Blues for Bird" (Gillespie, Peterson) B-2."Dizzy Atmosphere" (Gillespie) B-3."Alone Together" (Howard Dietz, Arthur Schwartz) B-4."Con Alma" (Gillespie) 本作でディジーは1976年のグラミー賞Best Jazz Performance by a Soloist賞を受賞していたという絶品中の絶品なんです！ ディジーはどうもその生前、日本においての人気は今一つ... 。40年代アルト・サックス奏者のチャーリー・パーカーとともに、それまでのスウィング・ジャズに変わる現代につながる新時代のジャズ、ビ・バップ創始者として知られるジャズの歴史上の重要人物の一人なのですが... 。 どうやら、ディジーがステージで時折見せる、彼特有の楽しませようとするユーモアを交えたパーフォーマンスが、当時日本の生真面目なジャズファンの間では、軽薄で不謹慎な振る舞いと受け取られてしまい、その音楽自体も聴くに値しないものと敬遠されてしまったことにその原因があったとか。あぁ～残念。 #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル #レコード #stayhome *作品を知るとジャズはもっと輝きます。情報くださる先輩諸氏に感謝。 https://www.instagram.com/p/CknQMDiPpxj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dizzy Gillespie and Joe Pass

Montreux Jazz Festival 1975

Talking Music and Legends

Last Tuesday, March 14 2023, this man turned 90!

Quincy Jones, one of the most iconic and legendary artists of this century. Musician, arranger, composer, producer. Almost incredible to think about all the people he worked with in his musical career. Legends themselves!

As a young boy, 14 years old he met Ray Charles, who was then 16 years old. As trumpeter he played in a band that supported Elvis Presley and at 20 year old he played in the Orchestra of Lionel Hampton going on a European tour. During which he developed his skills as arranger as well.

It's almost impossible to name all the musicians he worked with. Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, DizzyGillespie, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Gene Krupa. All those Jazz icons...

Jones conducted and arranged Frank Sinatra's iconic live album with the Basie Band Sinatra at the Sands Who doesn't know the albums he produced with Michael Jackson. And the musical adaptation of the Wizard of Oz with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.

I don't think anybody here never heard a piece of music he was involved in. The many tv themes, Sanford and Son, the Bill Cosby show theme, or Soul Bossa Nova, written in 1962 and used as the theme for the 1997 spy comedy Austin Powers! And so many more...

Jazz, pop, and even in 1989 with his album Back on the Block, he showed how music genres can be combined and easily be on the same album. Hiphop, Jazz, Pop, Soul, Brazilian music.. The album features legendary musicians and singers from across three generations, including Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul, Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane, Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, George Benson, Luther Vandross, Dionne Warwick, Barry White, Chaka Khan, Take 6, Bobby McFerrin, Al Jarreau, Al B. Sure!, James Ingram, El DeBarge, Ray Charles and a 12-year-old Tevin Campbell.

Quincy Jones with his friend Stevie Wonder

Do yourself a favor and take some time to listen to his music this week. Or do a search on Youtube, many live concerts to choose from. This is one in honor of his 75th birthday. For me it is hard to choose a piece, so many that I adore and love. But I settle for the 'Secret Garden' featuring Al B. Sure!, James Ingram, El DeBarge, and Barry White. From "Back On The Block"

Oh and take a look at Quincy Jones' IG more than half a century of music history over there! And much more about Quincy Jones.
