The Guitar Choir • New Jazz Sound of Showboat



Review by Scott Yanow
Arranger Johnny Carisi (best known for composing and arranging "Israel" for the Miles Davis Birth of the Cool sessions) rarely recorded as a leader. Other than seven titles from 1956 reissued as part of a Bluebird CD, and a half-album for Impulse in 1961 that he shared with Cecil Taylor, this obscure LP was Carisi's only other recording project at the head of the group. Certainly the most unusual of his records, this out-of-print LP features five guitarists (including Barry Galbraith and Jimmy Raney), a bassist, and a drummer plus one horn soloist (either trumpeter Carisi, altoist Phil Woods or valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer) performing ten songs from Show Boat. Four of the melodies ("I Might Fall Back on You," "I Have the Room Above Her," "Life Upon the Wicked Stage" and "It Still Suits Me") are quite obscure and were actually added to later versions of the show (or to the movie). The other six numbers (which include "Make Believe," "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" and "Ol' Man River") are much more familiar. The interpretations are essentially cool jazz, respectful of the themes yet still creative in subtle ways. An interesting set, but this album (not yet reissued on CD) will be difficult to find.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El arreglista Johnny Carisi (mejor conocido por componer y arreglar "Israel" para las sesiones de Miles Davis Birth of the Cool) raramente se registra como líder. Aparte de siete títulos de 1956 reeditados como parte de un CD de Bluebird, y un medio álbum para Impulse en 1961 que compartió con Cecil Taylor, este oscuro LP fue el único proyecto discográfico de Carisi al frente del grupo. Ciertamente el más inusual de sus discos, este LP agotado cuenta con cinco guitarristas (incluyendo a Barry Galbraith y Jimmy Raney), un bajista y un baterista más un solista de trompeta (ya sea el trompetista Carisi, el contralto Phil Woods o el trombonista de válvulas Bob Brookmeyer) interpretando diez canciones de Show Boat. Cuatro de las melodías ("I Might Fall Back on You", "I Have the Room Above Her", "Life Upon the Wicked Stage" y "It Still Suits Me") son bastante oscuras y se añadieron a versiones posteriores del programa (o a la película). Los otros seis números (que incluyen "Make Believe", "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" y "Ol' Man River") son mucho más familiares. Las interpretaciones son esencialmente cool jazz, respetuosas de los temas y a la vez creativas de manera sutil. Un set interesante, pero este álbum (aún no reeditado en CD) será difícil de encontrar.
