Esta
es la primera vez que se publica una emisión de radio en directo con la
Duke Ellington Orchestra desde el club Hollywood Empire de Los Ángeles
en 1949. Este CD de 71 minutos y 17 melodías se grabó durante un período
de transición en la carrera de Ellington, cuando las grandes bandas de
swing estaban desapareciendo y el bebop estaba en auge, y varias de las
melodías reflejan la nueva tendencia del bebop. Casi la mitad de las
composiciones interpretadas en este CD no volvieron a ser interpretadas
por Duke Ellington. En este CD la Orquesta de Ellington cuenta con Billy
Strayhorn, Al Hibbler, Ben Webster, Ray Nance, Harry Carney y Johnny
Hodges. Como suele ocurrir con Duke Ellington, este CD merece ser
escuchado repetidamente para resolver el "misterio" de las maravillosas y
complejas ideas musicales de Ellington.
Joe
Cohn was fated to a life in music by his antecedents and early exposure
to the greatest musicians and composers, Joe, son of legendary
saxophonist Al Cohn and vocalist Marylin Moore, has steadily risen to
the fore and made his mark as one of the most inventive and catalytic
guitarists in jazz. Joe emerged from his years at the Berklee School of
Music in the late 70s as a multi-instrumentalist, and is no less
impressive on trumpet. His work on guitar is consistently applauded and
favorably reviewed. His professional experience as a guitarist is of the
first order. He has toured and played with groups led by his father, Al
Cohn (1979-87, including Europe), Freddy Cole (touring Brazil), Bob
Mover, Nick Brignola, Artie Shaw, Zoot Sims, Buddy DeFranco (ongoing),
Al Grey (ongoing), Warren Chiasson (ongoing), Carmine Leggio (ongoing),
Claude “Fiddler” Williams (ongoing) and, of course, Harry Allen. On the
New York City jazz club and concert scene, he has played the famous Blue
Note with Al Cohn, Artie Shaw and Al Grey, Fat Tuesday’s and Sweet
Basil with Al Grey, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with Artie Shaw and
Lincoln Center with Hank Jones and Wynton Marsalis. On the international
scene, he has played the Oslo Jazz Festival with Frank Wess, has played
the annual jazz cruise on board the SS Norway with Al Grey, and wowed
them at the Lionel Hampton Club in Paris with Duffy Jackson.
His
credits go on and on, but the proof of the playing is in the hearing
thereof, so don’t miss this opportunity to dig Joe Cohn.
