Tony Fruscella & Brew Moore Quintet • The 1954 Unissued Atlantic Session

 

These recordings are among the rarest treasures in jazz, unseen and unheard since Atlantic produced them in 1954, and their release can be considered an event for all the jazz community. This was a relaxed and easy session, essentially valuable for the musicians involved, trumpeter Tony Fruscella (1927-1969), and tenor Brew Moore (1924-1973), most particularly for the former, who died at 42.

Fruscella who never enjoyed the recognition he deserved, was a poet of the trumpet with a veiled, haunting sound and a touching, very personal conception. The other unsung hero of this date is Brew Moore, a warm, emotional swinger whose musical god was Lester Young. A relaxed and swinging, but subtle and sophisticated player, for this date he assembled the kind of quintet he was most at home with, to play the sort of things they played in clubs, mostly variations on major and minor blues, and a delightfully original swinger by pianist Bill Triglia. Kindred spirits all, they speak with a shared pleasure and freshness undimmed by the years since then.

An addition to this legendary session are two sides recorded in 1955 while the trumpeter was member of Stan Getz's quintet, which project all the lyrical fire for which the group was celebrated.

Estas grabaciones figuran entre los tesoros más raros del jazz, inéditas desde que Atlantic las produjo en 1954, y su publicación puede considerarse un acontecimiento para toda la comunidad jazzística. Se trata de una sesión relajada y fácil, esencialmente valiosa para los músicos implicados, el trompetista Tony Fruscella (1927-1969), y el tenor Brew Moore (1924-1973), sobre todo para el primero, fallecido a los 42 años.

Fruscella, que nunca gozó del reconocimiento que merecía, fue un poeta de la trompeta con un sonido velado e inquietante y una concepción conmovedora y muy personal. El otro héroe anónimo de esta cita es Brew Moore, un swinger cálido y emocional cuyo dios musical fue Lester Young. Un músico relajado y con swing, pero sutil y sofisticado, para esta fecha reunió el tipo de quinteto con el que estaba más a gusto, para tocar el tipo de cosas que tocaban en los clubes, sobre todo variaciones de blues mayores y menores, y un swinger deliciosamente original del pianista Bill Triglia. Espíritus afines, hablan con un placer compartido y una frescura que no se ha visto mermada por los años transcurridos desde entonces.

A esta sesión legendaria se añaden dos caras grabadas en 1955, cuando el trompetista formaba parte del quinteto de Stan Getz, que proyectan todo el fuego lírico por el que el grupo era célebre.
