Ole 'Fessor' Lindgreen • Fessor's Guestbook

 

Review
by Scott Yanow  
In 1968, Danish trombonist Ole "Fessor" Lindgreen formed a flexible group (his Big City Band) capable of playing anything from Dixieland to mainstream and early R&B-ish blues. Through the years, his ensemble had the opportunity to work with many touring and visiting American stars. This CD sampler is comprised of previously released material; two songs apiece with either cornetist Wild Bill Davison, pianist Sammy Price, tenorman George Kelly, trombonist Gene "Mighty Flea" Connors, pianist/vocalist Jay McShann, pianist/vocalist Champion Jack Dupree or guitarist Al Casey as guests. In addition, there is one number with violinist Claude Williams and two in which the Big City Band is joined by trumpeter Doc Cheatham, clarinetist Herb Hall and bassist John Williams. Most of the selections are quite exciting, particularly Davison's "Louisiana," the underrated Kelly's "Crazy Eddie," "Jumpin' With McShann" and "Afer Theatre Jump" with Claude Williams. Although the original complete sessions are naturally preferred, this readily available CD is easily recommended in the meantime.

Reseña

En 1968, el trombonista danés Ole "Fessor" Lindgreen formó un grupo flexible (su Big City Band) capaz de tocar cualquier cosa, desde Dixieland hasta blues mainstream y R&B temprano. A lo largo de los años, su conjunto tuvo la oportunidad de trabajar con muchas estrellas americanas de gira y de visita. Este CD de muestra se compone de material publicado anteriormente; dos canciones con el cornetista Wild Bill Davison, el pianista Sammy Price, el tenor George Kelly, el trombonista Gene "Mighty Flea" Connors, el pianista/vocalista Jay McShann, el pianista/vocalista Champion Jack Dupree o el guitarrista Al Casey como invitados. Además, hay un número con el violinista Claude Williams y dos en los que se unen a la Big City Band el trompetista Doc Cheatham, el clarinetista Herb Hall y el bajista John Williams. La mayoría de las selecciones son bastante emocionantes, en particular "Louisiana" de Davison, la infravalorada "Crazy Eddie" de Kelly, "Jumpin' With McShann" y "Afer Theatre Jump" con Claude Williams. Aunque naturalmente se prefieren las sesiones completas originales, este CD fácilmente disponible es fácilmente recomendable mientras tanto.
