John La Porta - The Brothers Sandole • Rare and Obscure Jazz Albums, Modern Music from Philadelphia - Conceptions

 

Description from Fresh Sound Records (Blue Sounds):
Modern Music from Philadelphia: Operating solely on an artistic basis, The Brothers Sandole band was not a commercial venture, but a band decidedly different, daring and experimental. Dennis and Adolph Sandole were music teachers in Philadelphia, who actually wanted to keep teaching but felt that their music was completely original, and so harmonically different in scope that it deserved to be heard on its own merits. The dense, full character of its original figures gave the unit a distinct big band sound, and all the improvisation fits into a well-written pattern. Four of the ten scores presented here are by Dennis, two of them so concise they are over in a matter of seconds; the rest are by Adolph. All compositions by the Sandole brothers are actually cleverly planned pictures, and flawlessly performed. You'll find the entire album to be a rewarding experience, but unfortunately, it was the only one they recorded. A must-have for any jazz collector.

Conceptions: John La Porta was a most skilled musician — clarinetist, alto saxophonist, composer, arranger and teacher. His compositions contain all the elements of modern music — complex rhythmic patterns, rich harmonic colors, and fresh melodic ideas. This set of original compositions for various combinations of instruments illustrates his unusual conception of jazz forms. A more original and creative use of these modern sounds would be hard to find.

Descripción de Fresh Sound Records (Blue Sounds):
Modern Music from Philadelphia: Operando exclusivamente sobre una base artística, la banda de The Brothers Sandole no era una empresa comercial, sino una banda decididamente diferente, atrevida y experimental. Dennis y Adolph Sandole eran profesores de música en Filadelfia, que en realidad querían seguir enseñando pero sentían que su música era completamente original, y tan diferente en alcance armónico que merecía ser escuchada por sus propios méritos. El carácter denso y completo de sus figuras originales le daba a la unidad un sonido distintivo de big band, y toda la improvisación encaja en un patrón bien escrito. Cuatro de las diez partituras presentadas aquí son de Dennis, dos de ellas tan concisas que terminan en cuestión de segundos; el resto son de Adolph. Todas las composiciones de los hermanos Sandole son en realidad cuadros hábilmente planificados, e interpretados impecablemente. Encontrarás que el álbum completo es una experiencia gratificante, pero lamentablemente fue el único que grabaron. Imprescindible para cualquier coleccionista de jazz.

Conceptions: John La Porta era un músico muy hábil — clarinetista, saxofonista alto, compositor, arreglista y profesor. Sus composiciones contienen todos los elementos de la música moderna — patrones rítmicos complejos, ricos colores armónicos e ideas melódicas frescas. Este conjunto de composiciones originales para diversas combinaciones de instrumentos ilustra su inusual concepción de las formas del jazz. Difícilmente se podría encontrar un uso más original y creativo de estos sonidos modernos.
