VA • Jazz At The Philharmonic In London, 1969

 

Review by Scott Yanow  
By 1969 producer Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic was largely a thing of the past in the U.S., but he put together occasional European tours that resulted in the very interesting and consistently enjoyable music heard on this double CD. Trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Clark Terry, tenors Zoot Sims and James Moody, pianist Teddy Wilson, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Louis Bellson form the core group and play two jams and a four-song ballad medley in addition to accompanying blues singer/guitarist T-Bone Walker on three numbers. Teddy Wilson's Trio with Cranshaw and Bellson is in typically flawless form on a few songs and then comes the biggest surprise of the two-fer. The great veteran tenor Coleman Hawkins was in sad shape during the last few years of his life (he would pass away two months after this concert) yet he manages to almost sound as if he were still in his prime, far exceeding any of his post-1965 recordings on "Blue Lou" and three ballads including a partly unaccompanied "September Song" and an emotional rendition of "Body and Soul." Altoist Benny Carter is also heard from and all of the horns join in for a finale, "What Is This Thing Called Love?" This is historic and frequently exciting music.

Reseña de Scott Yanow  
En 1969, el Jazz del productor Norman Granz en la Filarmónica era en gran medida una cosa del pasado en los EE.UU., pero organizó ocasionales giras europeas que dieron lugar a la muy interesante y constantemente agradable música que se escucha en este doble CD. Los trompetistas Dizzy Gillespie y Clark Terry, los tenores Zoot Sims y James Moody, el pianista Teddy Wilson, el bajista Bob Cranshaw y el baterista Louis Bellson forman el grupo principal y tocan dos jams y una mezcla de baladas de cuatro canciones además de acompañar al cantante/guitarrista de blues T-Bone Walker en tres números. El trío de Teddy Wilson con Cranshaw y Bellson está en una forma típicamente impecable en unas pocas canciones y luego viene la mayor sorpresa de los dos. El gran tenor veterano Coleman Hawkins estuvo en una forma triste durante los últimos años de su vida (fallecería dos meses después de este concierto), sin embargo, se las arregla para sonar casi como si todavía estuviera en su mejor momento, superando con creces cualquiera de sus grabaciones posteriores a 1965 en "Blue Lou" y tres baladas que incluyen una "Canción de septiembre" parcialmente sin acompañamiento y una emotiva interpretación de "Body and Soul". También se escucha al altoísta Benny Carter y todos los cuernos se unen para un final, "¿Qué es esta cosa llamada amor?" Esta es una música histórica y frecuentemente excitante.
