Howard McGhee • The Classic 1960s Albums Vol 1

 

 

Among the first bebop jazz trumpeters (along with Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro and Idrees Sulieman), Howard McGhee was known for his fast fingers and very high notes, but is rarely credited for the influence he extended to younger trumpeters in an era when the instrument had come back into vogue among students of jazz. Despite a troubled life and career, Howard McGhee remains a huge inspiration for younger jazz musicians, students and fans alike. The collection here brings together eight of the very finest albums the great man ever released or played on, making it the ideal go-to- compilation for collectors and fans of this pioneering, albeit hugely underrated, musician.

Entre los primeros trompetistas de bebop jazz (junto con Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro e Idrees Sulieman), Howard McGhee era conocido por sus dedos rápidos y sus notas muy agudas, pero rara vez se le reconoce la influencia que ejerció sobre los trompetistas más jóvenes en una época en la que el instrumento había vuelto a ponerse de moda entre los estudiantes de jazz. A pesar de una vida y una carrera problemáticas, Howard McGhee sigue siendo una gran inspiración para los músicos de jazz más jóvenes, los estudiantes y los aficionados. Esta colección reúne ocho de los mejores álbumes que el gran hombre publicó o en los que tocó, lo que la convierte en la compilación ideal para los coleccionistas y aficionados a este músico pionero, aunque enormemente infravalorado.
