Lew Tabackin

Lew Tabackin, t enor sax and flutes will be making a rare small group appearance here at the Tra lfamadore Cafe on Decembe r 29, 30 and New Years Eve.

Known throughout the world as th e co- leader of one of the finest big bands in jazz - th e Toshiko Ak iyoshi / L ew Tabacki n Band, Lew is cu rrentl y on a short tour of major northeastern and midwestern cities . The group is a trio setting, givi ng Tabackin room to stretch out and put hi s vast creative and technical abilities to good use .

The group is a "co-op" band (no r eal leader - all receive the same pay) and includes drummer Bill Goodwin and bassist Michael Moore .

Goodwin is currently a member of th e Ph il Woods Quartet (and wa s recently in town with that band) and has played with Gary Burton, Bill Evans and others . Moore ca rri es the dis­t incti on of bei ng one of the most in-demand bassists in jazz in r ecent years. He's worked with a long li st of bands in various contexts from duos on up .

Since Taback1n, Goodwin & Moore are so busy with thei r r egu lar bands and recording work , th i s trio can on ly get together rare ly for short t ours. Don't m iss +hem.

IF YOU MISSED McCOY - TAKE NOTE A large number of people were turned away at the door

on McCoy Tyner's c losi ng night at the Tralf. The prob I em is that the turnout on opening night was so

weak that the Tralf . barely broke even over the two n ights. Support for live music is very important, but its a losing propositi on if everyone avoids opening night causing many t o miss out altogether.

If possible, try to support that fi rst night so those who can't get to see the group . By the way - all reports were that McCoy was best at the opening show. 3

musical education began at age 6 on piano followed by les­sons on viol in and tuba before deciding or. trumpet. Farmer and his twin brother, the late Addison Farmer left Phoenix Arizona (the place they grew up) for Los An,geles in 1944: From that point, Art worked with Horace Henderson, Floyd Ray, Johnny Otis and for a short whil e with Jay McShann.

Later he was a member of groups led by Teddy Edwards, Dexter Gordon, Gera ld Wi I son~ Benny Carter, Lionel Hampton, Horace Silver and .Je rry Mulligan. Hi s own first record date as a leader was in 1952. Farmer's Market, a pi ece he wrote from that sess1on, is often performed both as a vocal with lyr ics written by Annie Ross and as an instrumental. In the mid 1950' s he co-led the popular Jazztet with Benny Golson .

Since the mid 1960's Art has played the mellower sound­ing flugelhorn almost exclusively. Farmer has lived in Vienna, Austria with his Austrian wife and two children since 1968. He is also under contract as a f eatured soloist with

Farmer is a world traveler and spends much of the year touring all over Europe, Japan and the U.S. Referring to Farmer's adventurous spirit Nat Hentoff said (on the liner notes of Farmer's first album for Contemporary Records, Portrait of Art).

November In Review JOHN H. HUNT

Last month had its share of note worthy events : McCoy Tyner played his first club date in Buffalo since the mid 1960's bringing his sextet (with Buffalo's Joe Ford on saxo­phones and flute) to the Tralfamadore Cafe and drawing large crowds both nights (15 & 16) . The crowds on Wedn esday, however, were not quite as large as had been hoped for. None the less, the Tralfamadore' s intimate atmosphere made th e power of Tyner's music come out more than it has been abl e

There was a near capacity crowd on hand to witness the performance by pianist/composer George Shearing as he inaugurated the Buffalo Philharmonic Jazz Series at Klein­hans Music Hall November 9 . The remainder of the concerts will also be Thursdays at 8:30 pm in Kleinhans with Jackie and Roy, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Marian McPartland and Dizzy Gillespie.

WBFO's two nights of benefitconcertsatthe Tralfamadore with Elvin Shepherd backed by AI Tinney, Lou Marino and Max Thein and Footloose proved not only to be successful financially (it was S.R.O. both nights) but also a good cross­section of Buffal o jazz tal ent. WBFO broadcast the first nights music I ive from the Tralf . Other Tralf events in November included a long over due weekend engagement by AI Mclaughlin which showed Mclaughlin's versatility and

weekend a success. Concerts by Anthony Braxton, Sam Noto, Sonny Rollins, Mark Murphy, Sun Ra, Spyro Gyra and Jeremy Wall plus film showings, a jazz critics symposium and per­formance workshops gave a balanced and well-organized panorama of the music. Reliable sources say this will be­come an annual event.

St. George's on Delaware Ave. was host to Mark Murphy for much of November but the majority of the jazz audience in Buffalo wasn't even aware he was in town - a reminder that for Jazz events to be well-attended requires communi­cation by the club owners to jazz public through the media well in advance. Jazz jam led by guitarist James Clark continues to do well Monday nights at the Central Park.

A welcome back t o the jazz scene is in order for pianist Richard Schulman who performed as part of the Buffalo State Jazz Festival and to bassist Junnieh Booth who performed a solo bass concert in WBFO's Studio A . Drummer Darryl Washington (brother of Grover) is back in Buffalo leading a septet/sextet between tour dates with trumpeter Eddie Henderson .

Record1 FOUR REISSUES FROM SAVOY

Ari sta Records is continuing to dig into the Savoy cata­logue for reissues by assorted figures in jazz history. Two guitarists and two brass players are featured in this group . As has been the case in the past with these Savoy reissues, the annotation is excellent, putting the performers and the particular sessions into their historical perspective . The quality of the music is generally good .

CHARLIE BYRD- MIDNIGHT GUITAR (Savoy 1121) gives us guitarist Byrd, playing the acoust1c instrument, in a 1957 trio setting with Keeter Betts, bass, and Gus Johnson, drums. This is Chari ie Byrd abo.ut five years before the boss a nova made his name known to non - jazz audiences. Side one gives us a three-part 1'Biues for Night People," while side two has three standards and one original, all handled in a very low­key manner.

KENNY BURRELL WITH FRANK WESS - MONDAY STROLL (Savoy 1120) is a different approach entirely. Burrell of course plays electric guitar, and his style is more outgoing . In this case, he is joined by Frank Wess, who plays flute on six of the seven tracks, and t enor on the other . These cuts were made late in 1956 and early in 1957. Their playing is outstanding throughout. Burrell and Wess react well to each other, each listening and responding, especially in the ballads. The rhythm section is excellent, due in no small part to the presence of Freddie Green, who supplies his wonderful rhythm guitar work to the quintet .

THE INDIVIDUALISM OF WILD BILL DAVISON (Savoy 2229) is a two record set, two live dates from 1951. Davison is a cornetist who came up in the late 1920's, playing in Chicago, Milwaukee and New York. Sides one and two .Jere r ecorded at guitarist Eddie Condon's club in New York City. The sound quality of the recording leaves something to be desired, and overa.ll, the performances lack a spark. Indi ­vidual solos are interesting, but th ey generally seem per­functory . There is Just a bit too much of the routine about the whol e date.

Sides three and four are a different story. Th0y also were recorded I ive in 1951, with th e same instrumentation, but different personnel. The date was at , George We1n ' s Story ­ville club in Boston, with Wein sitting in at the p1ano The recorded sound is much better, and thi s group of players seems to be more inspired by the material. The solos are delivered with more authority and a generally higher level of inventiveness .

J.J. JOHNSON - MAD BE-BOP (Savoy 2232) features the father of modern trombone playingattwostar · is career. Sides one and two of th1s two - disc set 1 1946 and

1949. They find Johnson in company with, at various times saxophonists Cecil Payne and Sonny Roll ins, pianists Bud Powell and John Lewi s, and drummer Max Roa ch, among others. There are eight different tunes here, some offered 1n two or three rl 1fferent take s. It's fascinating to hea r a tun e develop from take to take.

Side three has several cuts from a 1947 date with bari ­tone saxophonist Leo Parker·. The remainder of the set, eight cuts 1n all, was for me the best part - two dates made just after Johnson returned to mus1 c on a full-time basi s with fellow trombonist Kai Winding. Johnson had held a day JOb for two years, pn or to these Augu st, 1954 recording~ - Charles M1ngus was the bassist with the group, and wrote one of the tunes; Kenny Clarke was on drums. On th e fir·s t of the two dates, guitarist Billy Bauer completed the group; on the second, p1an1st Wally Cirillo was added,changingthesound of the group somewhat. Johnson and Winding have two different sounds and approaches to bop trombone, and they contrast n1cely here. The playing on all of th e sessions holds up well afte r twenty -five or so years . By th e way , although Johnson has been concentrating on film and televi si on writing for the past few years, he did VISd Japan last year and recorded with Nat Adderley . According to Leonard F eather's not es to th e album, Johnson I iked the results, and may become more ac­!1ve on the performing scene again. -John Simna

Eddi e "LockJaw" Dav1s, Oon Lanpher e, AI Ha1g& Leo Parker . Its a fine, informative set and a good intr·oduction to jazz from that period .

ROLAND KIRK is featured on PRE-RAHSAAN (P-24080). wh1 ch off,"rs two dates done 7 years apart. Record one places Kirk in a quartet including organist Jack M cDuff. Ni ce stuff, but the real meat comes with record two - a 1968 set with Jaki Byard (who was the leader), Richard Davis & Alan Dawson. The band is hot, especially Kirk & Byard, reaching mto the outer limits at times . Each song is a highlight .

Next comes THE REAL THING from the great COLEMAN HAWKINS (P -24083) . All of the musi c was recorded between Nov. '58 & Jan. '60. It was a good period for Hawkins and some of the results are heard on these three fine sessions. You' II hear some strong R & B tenor on side one, more of a swinging style on side two, and a mellow Hawkins on sides

I 3 & 4. A good buy .

Another great tenor saxophonist is heard on TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS (P-24082). Some Circa ' 55 & '56 SONNY ROLLINS has been taken from three Prestige albums, and the tenor madness session (with Coltrane joining Roll ins on the title track) is included in its entirety. Its all good Rollins and one of my own favorite Rollins albums , Worktime, is represented in part. I 'd prefer, however, to see entire al­bums r e-issued on all these twofers- such as with the K1rk set.

As we move from Prestige to Milestone , we start with a twofer from pianist BARRY HARRIS titled STAY RIGHT WITH IT (M-47050) . Piano lovers should enjoy thi s one, especially record one- a reissue ofpartsofPreminado (Riverside 354). and Listen to Barry Harris (Riverside 392).Sideone is a trio with Joe Benjamin and Elvin Jones, and side 2 is unaccom­panied piano. Record two is split between a quintet with Chas . McPherson and a trio with Bob Cranshaw and C I ifford Jarvis . These albums date back to ' 61 & '62.

Two CHARLIE BYRD albums have been rel eased in their complete form on IN GREENWICH VILLAGE (M-47049). Both are I ive dates - at the Vi II age Vanguard and the Vi II age Gate from ' 60 & '63, and offer some good Byrd from that period. Smooth listening.

A pair of NAT ADDERLEY discs from the Riverside years have been r evived on WORK SONGS (M - 47047) . There's some nice stuff scattered about here, but for the most this music doesn't move me - especially when I think of some on Nat's work on some of Cannonball 's albums such as Japanese Concerts (a I so on M i I estone).

BLUES ON DOWN (M-47048) is a showcaseforthe playing and composing of BENNY GOLSON. Heard in two sessions from '57 & '58, six of the twelve tunes are Golsons . The music is good enough, though I' ve got to admit that I much prefer his work with Art Farmer in the Jazztet, whi ch was formed in '59.

ALBERTA HUNTER - REMEMBER MY NAME -COLUMBIA Alberta Hunter's reemergen ce intos tardom aft eraretire ­

ment from show business twenty years ago is one of the most pleasant surprises of the rec ent years. Alb erta was one of the so-called 'classic' blues singers who r ecorded in the 1920s . Bessi e Smith's first recording was one of Alberta's songs "Dpwn Hearted Blues". Alberta might be better described

as a 'vaudeville blues' singer in that she, like the other black women singers, sang a good amount of non - blues material and her act includes a good amount of pop material like "Pennies From Heaven ".

Remember My Name i s Alberta ' s f irst a" ,um and the soundtrack for Rob ert Altman's new m ovi e . Backed hy a band led by her accompani st p i a. ist Gerald C ur; a·1J, J giant Budd Johnson , Alberta has a sw inging set whi ch includes remakes ("Down - Hearted Blues " ) and new materi al Par ­ticularly ni ce i s the ballad "The Love I Have For You", whil e "My Castl e i s Rock in'" 1s a JUmping number . Th e band which includes Conni e K ay and Doc Ch eathem i s swinging and Alberta throughout i s sassy and full of enthu s iasm . An album that will capt ivate tho s.eofyou who haven't had a chan ce to see her live . Tho se who have seen her l ive will know what to expect. - Ron We1nstock

TED DUNBAR -OPENING REMARKS- XANADU 155 JACK WILKINS - YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT - CHIAR­OSCURO 185

Here's a pair of albums from a pair of guitarists who aren't all that well known yet . But if justice prevai Is, they will be.

Texas guitarist Ted Dunbar offers h is f irst solo venture with Opening Remarks. He's been heard as a sideman on a good many albums in recent years, and hi s tasteful, moody style fares well up-front here . For th e most, this is a lai d back affair and goes well with some wine late at night.

If you want to tap your feet (fast) instead, try Jack Wilkins second outing You Can't Live Without lt . I first heard Jack with Buddy Ri ch a while back- the guy is qui ck and clean and has to be heard. The Brecker Bros . turn out some excellent straight-ahead work here as well.

-Bill Wahl

BLUES- RON WEINSTOCK

Frank 'Son' Seals new live recording Live and Burning (Alligator AL 4712) provides ample evidence why he is the most acclaimed new bluesman to emerge in recent years . Recorded at Chicago's Wise Fool's Pub, this set captures very well the e·xcitement he can generate. This set contains two new originals, his theme "Hot Sauce" and six distinctive remakes of songs written by such blues giants as Ll oyd Glenn and Elmore James . He is heard with his regular band supple­mented by tenor saxophonist A .C. Reed and pianist Alberto Gianquinto (on one track only). Son plays pl enty of hard driv­ing guitar which serves astheperfect foilto his raspy singing for what is perhaps his best record yet and the next best thing to seeing him live.

Other recent live recordings include Professor Longhair Live on the Queen Mary (Harvest SW-11790) which features a great selection of rocking music as only the legendary New Orl eans pianist and singer can do it, with his heavy rhumba boogie piano and wild off-key singing. Less successful is Roosevelt Sykes, The Original Honeydripper (Blind Pig - 003-77). Rooseve lt has made many better sides than this at best entertaining and at worst heavyhanded session from Ann Arbor 's Blind Pig. Boogie Woogie Red's Red Hot (Blind Pig 003-77) features one side recorded at the Blind Pig, and a studio side with guitarist John Nicolaus . A couple of weak tracks don't detract from good versions of Memphis Slim's "Beer Dri nking Woman", Jay McShann's "Hooty Blues" and a solid "Red ' s Rhumba ". Not being exactly over recorded Boogi e Woogie Red is well represented here.

Blind Pig has three other fine records out. The Silver­tones are a tight white band from Ann Arbor that play with taste and restraint. One More Chance With You (BP-002-77) includes a very tasty helping of rockabilly, Little Walter, Joe Turner, T -Bone Walker, Red Prystock and Jimmy Reed numbers played with considerable flai r. Even better is John Nicolaus' Too Many Bad Habits (BP-004-77) with fri ends

Johnny Shines, Walter Horton and members of Asleep of the Wheel (which Nicolaus is currently a member of). Nicolaus has a fine rocker in "Looks Can Be Deceivin'" where he uses a Jimmy Reed bass line for an underpinning . "Mandolin Boogie" is a rocker with 50s R&B overtones while the Mississippi Sheiks' "Sittin' On Top of the World" is remade tastefully. Shines and Horton each takes vocals and Horton adds harp to a remake of Tommy Johnson's "New Canned Heat Blues" . Nicolaus even successfully interprets Robert Johnson and Son House. He is simply a fine blues performer and has made the question of his race irrelevant.

Nicolaus also plays a major role in Walter Horton's Fine Cuts (BP-006-78). Walter Horton is simply the greatest I iv ­ing blues harmonica player, and perhaps the best of all time (with no apologies to fans of Little Walter and the two Sonny Boys) . Playing with a big fat tone, a wonderful musi cal sen ­sibility and swing. Horton's tonal embellishments make "La

Cucracha" and E II ington' s "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" very fine instrumentals . Not a very strong singer, he brings to his vocals an enthusiasm that compendates for an occ asional stiffness. John Nicolaus support s Walt er on both s ides whi ch includes one side with the Rhythm Rocker s and on the other side Ni colaus (overdubb ing) w i th dr ummer Martin Gross . Ni colaus sees t o i t that the album is Walter's and the back ing is tasty . This is an album of just solid swinging b lues. Wal te r is simply magnifi cent . Even on "Wa lte r 's Swing" a rambling instrumental . Hi s t one i s so ful l th at the rambl ing m ight get overlooked . A very fine record .

Sonny Rhodes is a SanFranci scoBayareabluesman whose initial album I Don't Want My Blues Colored Bright was initially rel eased in Sweden and now in th e US by Advent (2808). I have previ ously r ev iewed th i s reco r d in Li vi ng Blues and in ads Advent has quoted me: "Rhodes is a r ea lly fine r elaxed singer . . . as a guitar i st, he pl ays wi t h r hythmi c fluidity and cons iderabl e imaginat ion ." Since thi s r ecording Rhodes has started playing tabl e stee l guitar and it would be interesting to hear his new musi c as well as what s on th is tasty debut album .
