Gary Smulyan • Tadd's All, Folks


 

A really unique take on the music of jazz legend Tadd Dameron – a set that focuses entirely on vocal versions of his compositions – a side of Dameron's legacy that's sometimes overlooked! Tadd wasn't that much of a lyricist himself – although he did do two of the songs here – while others are written by Irving Reid, Bernie Hanighen, and Jack Reynolds – all with a mix of lyrics that really fit the famous modern idiom in Dameron's music – delivered instrumentally by a core combo that features Gary Smulyan on plenty of strong baritone sax solos, with Pete Malinverni on piano, David Wong on bass, and Matt Wilson on drums. Anais Reno handles all the vocals – and titles include "Sweet Life", "Never Been In Love", "Whatever Possessed Med", "Weekend", "Lovely One In The Window", and "You're A Joy".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Una visión realmente única de la música de la leyenda del jazz Tadd Dameron - un conjunto que se centra por completo en las versiones vocales de sus composiciones - ¡un lado del legado de Dameron que a veces se pasa por alto! Tadd no era un gran letrista - aunque hizo dos de las canciones aquí - mientras que otras están escritas por Irving Reid, Bernie Hanighen, y Jack Reynolds - todos con una mezcla de letras que realmente encajan en el famoso lenguaje moderno de la música de Dameron - entregado instrumentalmente por un combo central que cuenta con Gary Smulyan en un montón de fuertes solos de saxo barítono, con Pete Malinverni al piano, David Wong al bajo, y Matt Wilson a la batería. Anais Reno se encarga de todas las voces - y los títulos incluyen "Sweet Life", "Never Been In Love", "Whatever Possessed Med", "Weekend", "Lovely One In The Window", y "You're A Joy".  1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
