Ronnie Lang And His All-Stars • Modern Jazz

 

Biography
by Scott Yanow
A technically skilled player and a fine jazz improviser, Ronnie Lang has spent much of his career in fairly anonymous settings, working in the studios. He started out playing with Hoagy Carmichael's Teenagers, Earl Spencer, Ike Carpenter and Skinnay Ennis (1947). Lang gained some attention during his two stints with Les Brown's Orchestra (1949-50 and 1953-56) and he recorded a bit with the Dave Pell Octet in the mid-1950's. However in 1958 he became a busy studio musician in Los Angeles (often utilized by Henry Mancini) and, although he has since appeared on many records, the altoist has been mostly a nonsoloing section player whose beautiful tone is heard primarily as part of ensembles; a major loss to jazz. Ronnie Lang's only sessions as a leader were three titles for Capitol in 1955 and a full album for Tops in 1956.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Músico técnicamente hábil y buen improvisador de jazz, Ronnie Lang ha pasado gran parte de su carrera en ambientes bastante anónimos, trabajando en los estudios. Comenzó tocando con los Teenagers de Hoagy Carmichael, Earl Spencer, Ike Carpenter y Skinnay Ennis (1947). Lang ganó algo de atención durante sus dos temporadas con la Orquesta de Les Brown (1949-50 y 1953-56) y grabó un poco con el Dave Pell Octet a mediados de la década de 1950. Sin embargo, en 1958 se convirtió en un ocupado músico de estudio en Los Ángeles (a menudo utilizado por Henry Mancini) y, aunque desde entonces ha aparecido en muchos discos, el contralto ha sido principalmente un músico de sección no solista cuyo hermoso tono se escucha principalmente como parte de conjuntos; una gran pérdida para el jazz. Las únicas sesiones de Ronnie Lang como líder fueron tres títulos para Capitol en 1955 y un álbum completo para Tops en 1956.
