The Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band • Sax No End

 

 

Review
by Mark Keresman
Drummer Kenny Clarke, realizing that American music is often more appreciated in Europe, eventually moved to the continent and hooked up with the Belgian pianist/arranger Francy Boland, and, in 1961, they formed a long-lasting, incredibly popular bebop-based big band. The Clarke/Boland Big Band featured some of Europe’s best jazz musicians of the time (Ronnie Scott, John Surman) plus some of the great American musicians who had relocated to the continent themselves (Jimmy Woode, Johnny Griffin). SAX NO END, from 1967, is a powerfully swinging session, a mixture of the wallop of Count Basie and the modernism of Gil Evans and Bob Brookmeyer.

Reseña
por Mark Keresman
El baterista Kenny Clarke, al darse cuenta de que la música americana es a menudo más apreciada en Europa, se trasladó al continente y se asoció con el pianista y arreglista belga Francy Boland y, en 1961, formaron una big band de larga duración e increíblemente popular basada en el bebop. La Clarke/Boland Big Band contaba con algunos de los mejores músicos de jazz europeos de la época (Ronnie Scott, John Surman), además de algunos de los grandes músicos estadounidenses que se habían trasladado al continente (Jimmy Woode, Johnny Griffin). SAX NO END, de 1967, es una sesión poderosa, una mezcla de la fuerza de Count Basie y el modernismo de Gil Evans y Bob Brookmeyer.
