Jimmy Rowles • Rare - But Well Done



Biography by Scott Yanow
Long known for his expertise in coming up with the perfect chord for the perfect situation, the subtle Jimmy Rowles was in demand for decades as an accompanist while being underrated as a soloist. After playing in local groups in Seattle, Rowles moved to Los Angeles in 1940 and worked with Slim Gaillard, Lester Young, Benny Goodman, and Woody Herman. After serving in the military, he returned to Herman (in time to play with the first Herd), recorded with Benny Goodman, and also had stints with Les Brown and Tommy Dorsey. Working as a studio musician, Rowles appeared in a countless number of settings in the 1950s and '60s, but was best known for his playing behind Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee. In 1973, he moved to New York where he recorded more extensively in jazz situations (including duets with Stan Getz), but after touring with Ella Fitzgerald during 1981-1983 he returned to California. His song "The Peacocks" became a standard, and Rowles recorded for many labels throughout his career including with his daughter, flügelhornist Stacy Rowles.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
Conocido desde hace tiempo por su pericia para dar con el acorde perfecto para la situación perfecta, el sutil Jimmy Rowles fue demandado durante décadas como acompañante, al tiempo que era infravalorado como solista. Tras tocar en grupos locales de Seattle, Rowles se trasladó a Los Ángeles en 1940 y trabajó con Slim Gaillard, Lester Young, Benny Goodman y Woody Herman. Después de servir en el ejército, regresó con Herman (a tiempo para tocar con el primer Herd), grabó con Benny Goodman y también hizo temporadas con Les Brown y Tommy Dorsey. Trabajando como músico de estudio, Rowles apareció en un sinnúmero de escenarios en los años 50 y 60, pero fue más conocido por tocar detrás de Billie Holiday y Peggy Lee. En 1973 se trasladó a Nueva York, donde grabó más ampliamente en situaciones de jazz (incluyendo dúos con Stan Getz), pero después de hacer una gira con Ella Fitzgerald durante 1981-1983 regresó a California. Su canción "The Peacocks" se convirtió en un estándar, y Rowles grabó para muchos sellos a lo largo de su carrera, incluso con su hija, la flügelhornista Stacy Rowles.
