Bob Enevoldsen • Smorgasbord

 

Bob Enevoldsen (1920-2005) was undoubtedly one of the most versatile performers in the Hollywood jazz scene. But his talent was so multi-faceted that besides the fact that he was a completely schooled instrumentalist, he also developed into an impressive and gifted arranger. Smorgasbord presents Bob Enevoldsen with an interesting line up composed of Marty Paich on accordion and piano, Larry Bunker on vibes, piano and drums, Red Mitchell on bass and piano, Howard Roberts on guitar, Don Heath on drums and Bob, of course, on valve trombone, tenor sax and bass. A variety of doubles among these players afforded an opportunity for orchestral changes in an attempt to set up a different feeling for each piece, said Enevoldsen. Each composition was carefully arranged and rehearsed and the group gets a unique sound with this instrumentation.

Press reviews
"Perhaps Enevoldsen's finest leadership date from the mid-1950s is Smorgasbord. The album demonstrates his versatility and humor as well as his spirited arranging skills. In addition to being a highly swinging session, it's notable for the musicians who were there and the instruments they played. The recording features Enevoldsen on valve trombone and tenor sax; Marty Paich [pictured] on piano, organ and accordion; Larry Bunker on vibes and drums; Howard Roberts on guitar; Red Mitchell on bass and piano; and Don Heath on drums."

Bob Enevoldsen (1920-2005) fue sin duda uno de los intérpretes más versátiles de la escena de jazz de Hollywood. Pero su talento era tan polifacético que, además de ser un instrumentista completamente escolarizado, se convirtió en un arreglista impresionante y dotado. Smorgasbord presenta a Bob Enevoldsen una interesante línea compuesta por Marty Paich en acordeón y piano, Larry Bunker en vibráfono, piano y batería, Red Mitchell en bajo y piano, Howard Roberts en guitarra, Don Heath en batería y Bob, por supuesto, en trombón de válvula, saxo tenor y bajo. Una variedad de dobles entre estos músicos permitió la oportunidad de cambios orquestales en un intento de establecer un sentimiento diferente para cada pieza, dijo Enevoldsen. Cada composición fue cuidadosamente arreglada y ensayada y el grupo obtiene un sonido único con esta instrumentación.

Reseñas de prensa
"Quizás la mejor fecha de liderazgo de Enevoldsen de mediados de los 50 es Smorgasbord. El álbum demuestra su versatilidad y humor, así como sus briosas habilidades para los arreglos. Además de ser una sesión de gran swing, es notable por los músicos que estuvieron allí y los instrumentos que tocaron. La grabación cuenta con Enevoldsen en el trombón de válvula y el saxo tenor; Marty Paich [en la foto] en el piano, el órgano y el acordeón; Larry Bunker en el vibráfono y la batería; Howard Roberts en la guitarra; Red Mitchell en el bajo y el piano; y Don Heath en la batería".
