Jimmy Cleveland And His All Stars • Introducing

 

Biography
by Scott Yanow
One of the finest trombonists to emerge during the 1950s, Jimmy Cleveland has been overlooked since moving to Los Angeles in the late '60s. He started on trombone when he was 16, and his first important job was with Lionel Hampton (1950-1953). After Hampton's European tour of 1953, Cleveland became a busy freelance musician in New York, making many recording sessions (including with Dizzy Gillespie, Gil Evans, Oliver Nelson, Oscar Pettiford, Lucky Thompson, James Moody, and Gerry Mulligan). He toured Europe with Quincy Jones in 1959-1960, and played with Thelonious Monk's 1967 octet, but otherwise stayed in New York until going to the West Coast to play with The Merv Griffin Show's band and to continue recording for Quincy Jones. Jimmy Cleveland remains one of the most technically skilled of the bop-based trombonists, and still appears on an irregular basis in Los Angeles clubs.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Jimmy Cleveland, uno de los mejores trombonistas que surgieron durante la década de los 50, ha pasado desapercibido desde que se trasladó a Los Ángeles a finales de los 60. Empezó a tocar el trombón a los 16 años, y su primer trabajo importante fue con Lionel Hampton (1950-1953). Después de la gira europea de Hampton en 1953, Cleveland se convirtió en un ocupado músico independiente en Nueva York, realizando muchas sesiones de grabación (incluyendo con Dizzy Gillespie, Gil Evans, Oliver Nelson, Oscar Pettiford, Lucky Thompson, James Moody y Gerry Mulligan). Realizó una gira por Europa con Quincy Jones en 1959-1960 y tocó con el octeto de Thelonious Monk en 1967, pero por lo demás se quedó en Nueva York hasta que se fue a la Costa Oeste para tocar con la banda de The Merv Griffin Show y seguir grabando para Quincy Jones. Jimmy Cleveland sigue siendo uno de los trombonistas más técnicos del bop, y todavía aparece de forma irregular en los clubes de Los Ángeles.
