Tony Coe • Captain Coe’s Famous Racearound

 



Captain Coe’s Famous Racearound showcases the work of saxophonist Tony Coe, the first non-American to receive the jazz world’s ultimate accolade – the Jazzpar Prize, occasionally known as the ‘Jazz Nobel’, which he was awarded in 1995. All tracks on this album were recorded during the JAZZPAR award concerts with both The Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra conducted by Bob Brookmeyer and the 1995 Jazzpar Combo. This remastered edition features redesigned artwork by the Danish star graphic artist Finn Nygaard, new liner notes by Brian Priestley and photos by Jan Persson.

Tony Coe wrote a substantial new work for the JAZZPAR award concerts and the complex “Captain Coe’s Famous Racearound”, according to its composer, was completed within a few days “in an atmosphere of white heat. The smallgroup set with the JAZZPAR Combo also includes a Coe composition featuring the excellent solo work of Bob Brookmeyer. “Edmundo” (formerly recorded as
“Lagos” on Canterbury Song) was dedicated to the Latin-American bandleader Edmundo Ros, who was the drummer on Fats Waller’s London recordings but remembered by Tony for his “exhilarating and romantic Latin music and his warm personality coming over the air during my [World War II] childhood, when there was much stress and hardship in Britain”. Also heard are two pieces by London- and Paris based drummer Steve Argüelles. The first has Argüelles playing a musical box against which Tony builds a free improvisation, while “Antonia” is a ballad showcasing his warm soprano saxophone tone.

Captain Coe's Famous Racearound muestra el trabajo del saxofonista Tony Coe, el primer no estadounidense en recibir el máximo galardón del mundo del jazz: el Premio JAZZPAR, ocasionalmente conocido como el "Nobel del Jazz", que le fue concedido en 1995. Todos los temas de este álbum se grabaron durante los conciertos del premio JAZZPAR, tanto con la Orquesta de Jazz de la Radio Danesa, dirigida por Bob Brookmeyer, como con el Jazzpar Combo de 1995. Esta edición remasterizada cuenta con un nuevo diseño artístico realizado por el artista gráfico danés Finn Nygaard, nuevas notas de Brian Priestley y fotografías de Jan Persson.

Tony Coe escribió una nueva obra sustancial para los conciertos del premio JAZZPAR y el complejo "Captain Coe's Famous Racearound", según su compositor, se completó en pocos días "en una atmósfera de calor blanco". El conjunto de pequeño grupo con el JAZZPAR Combo también incluye una composición de Coe que cuenta con el excelente trabajo en solitario de Bob Brookmeyer. "Edmundo" (anteriormente grabada como
"Lagos" en Canterbury Song) se dedicó al director de orquesta latinoamericano Edmundo Ros, batería en las grabaciones londinenses de Fats Waller, pero recordado por Tony por su "estimulante y romántica música latina y su cálida personalidad que llegaba por el aire durante mi infancia [Segunda Guerra Mundial], cuando había mucho estrés y penurias en Gran Bretaña". También se escuchan dos piezas del batería Steve Argüelles, afincado en Londres y París. En la primera, Argüelles toca una caja musical sobre la que Tony construye una improvisación libre, mientras que "Antonia" es una balada que muestra su cálido tono de saxofón soprano.
