Sal Nistico • Jazz A Confronto

 

Biography
by Scott Yanow
Sal Nistico's explosive tenor solos with Woody Herman in the mid-'60s helped make that edition of Herman's Herd into a success. Originally an altoist, Nistico switched to tenor in 1956 and played with R&B bands for three years. He gigged with and made his recording debut in 1959-1960 with the Jazz Brothers, a band also including Chuck and Gap Mangione. But it was while with Herman in 1962-1965 that Nistico made history. In 1965, he spent five months with Count Basie. He returned to Basie in 1967 and to Herman on several occasions (1968-1970, 1971, 1981-1982), although without the impact of the first stint. Otherwise, the tenor freelanced throughout his career, playing with Don Ellis and Buddy Rich but mostly working with pick-up groups. Nistico recorded for several labels as a leader including Riverside, Red, and Beehive.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Los explosivos solos de tenor de Sal Nistico con Woody Herman a mediados de los 60 ayudaron a convertir esa edición de Herman's Herd en un éxito. Originalmente contralto, Nistico se pasó al tenor en 1956 y tocó con bandas de R&B durante tres años. En 1959-1960 actuó con los Jazz Brothers, una banda en la que también estaban Chuck y Gap Mangione, y debutó en el mundo de la grabación. Pero fue con Herman, entre 1962 y 1965, cuando Nistico hizo historia. En 1965, pasó cinco meses con Count Basie. Regresó a Basie en 1967 y a Herman en varias ocasiones (1968-1970, 1971, 1981-1982), aunque sin el impacto de la primera temporada. Por lo demás, el tenor trabajó por su cuenta a lo largo de toda su carrera, tocando con Don Ellis y Buddy Rich, pero sobre todo con grupos selectos. Nistico grabó para varios sellos como líder, entre ellos Riverside, Red y Beehive.
