Barry Altschul... Shelley Manne... Cecil Taylor... Al Cohn/Bob Brookmeyer... Sonny Terry/Brownie McGhee

2008-01-11 00:00:00 by newmusicrebloggers in New Music reBlog
 
...Cohn and Bob Brookmeyer, from which comes this track, 'Lazy Man Stomp.' A fast yet frothy romp you could imagine people jiving to this. Cohn was a pretty good sax player, one of the original 'Four Brothers' in Woody Herman's Second Herd , (I think he followed Herbie Steward into the section -who is, according to the link, the only surviving...

Jon Hassell, Jimmy Giuffre/MJQ, Al Cohn/Bob Brookmeyer, Blind Joe Taggart, Bob Wills...

...Cohn and Bob Brookmeyer play an oblique, somewhat gruff restatement of the theme of 'Lady is a tramp.' An arrangement which, in its own quiet way, re-encapsulates the essence of how jazz deals with melody in a dynamic, elastic manner. Cohn solos first, swinging solidly. Brookmeyer next, looping nicely through the changes. Always an appealing...

...Cohn performing with him. It captures a moment of spontaneity that creates a surprise and a big smile from Cohn. The rhythm section is Hank Jones, George Mraz and Ronnie Bedford. To see the clip, click here From the same engagement, Stewart sings "Caravan," which contains a typical Al Cohn solo: perfect

...Cohn, Aimee Mann, and a solid roster of other perfectly tuned oddities (like, say, Fred Schneider of the B-52s doing a pitch-perfect version of Coconut , or the infamous nasal harmonies of The Roches applied to a space-age Spaceman ). Purchasing the album was a revelation: here was a set of tunes that were all strangely familiar, yet I had...

...Cohn "Al was fabulous. I loved everything he wrote. Listen to what he did on Lady Chatterley's Mother for Gerry Mulligan's Concert Jazz Band. His sax soli on that track is amazing. I also love Theme, the ballad with cellos he wrote for my album, In a Twentieth-Century Drawing Room Tiny Kahn "Anything Tiny wrote could swing with great taste....

...Cohn at the old Half Note in downtown Manhattan was "like going to get your back scratched." There is a piece of video that helps explain what he meant. It's not from the Half Note, but from a 1968 British television program called In The Cool Of The Evening. They play Burt Bacharach's "What The World Needs Now," then a short version of...
