Album Description

Besides Dizzy Gillespie, no founding father of modern jazz had the tenacity to keep a big band together for an extended period of time. Gillespie managed to do it in the late 1940s and then again in the mid-'50s, creating electrifying music in the process. The band of the 1950s toured the world extensively under U.S. State Department auspices, honing tight sectional play and developing explosive power on a book of new arrangements. Those strengths show in this 1957 Newport appearance, both on the extended treatments of Gillespie's earlier masterpieces, such as "A Night in Tunisia" and "Manteca," and on new material, including Ernie Wilkins's arrangement of Horace Silver's "Doodlin'" and Benny Golson's lustrous "I Remember Clifford." Whether doing comic vocals or letting his trumpet soar over the charging band, Gillespie is in magnificent form here, supported by Golson and Billy Mitchell on tenors, altoist Ernie Henry, and pianist Wynton Kelly. The concert also includes selections from Mary Lou Williams's "Zodiac Suite," with the composer joining the band on piano. Aura. 2005.

Essential Gospel?.......2000-03-04

( Note: I'd only actually give highest rating 5 stars to a Tono-Bungay, Bannister, or Fire in the Kitchen recording. ) The track list for _Essential Gospel_ will surprise you: there are only 2 post-WWII selections here, and nothing after 1947. This is gospel before the gospel choir and the " church-wrecking " soloists ( it ends with an untheatrical [ read: tepid ] Mahalia Jackson hymn, though ) - you'll find no Bradley, May, Anderson, Williams, Love or Smith; and if you're hoping to sample the storming " soul " histrionics of Cheeks, Jeter or Brownlee, you won't find " hard gospel" here. And if you've forgotten,or if you never knew, how intimately gospel is/was entwined with early jazz and blues, personnel inclusions may surprise you as much as the above-mentioned omissions. Even if you think of them primarily as incredible blues guitarists, you won't be very startled to find Willie Johnson and Gary Davis here, but Scrapper Blackwell? And boogie-woogie pianist Sammy Price? Not to mention jazz pianist/clown Fats Waller and Louis Armstrong! Actually, all this is in fair order except for Armstrong. His novelty, gimmicky Decca sides, here represented by " Shadrack " ( complete with Decca's white-bread back-up vocals ), aren't even respected as jazz or pop; calling this Gospel ( Essential! ) is like calling Andrew Lloyd Webber or something Rock. You even get Ho-Ho's as if he's narrating some kind of Santa and Rudolph story. ( I think I find its inclusion very offensive, but maybe I wish I could wish myself into the personhood of some obviously French [ this CD is French-produced ] music-lover whose ideas of gospel, art, and love are so elastic that they embrace this sort of thing as not only listenable but somehow essential - do you think it would be interesting to be able to think like that? ) Aside from that unwarranted selection, _Essential Gospel_ gives a good picture of what early gospel was like - because it's French, perhaps we can get structuralist about it and subtitle it The Raw and the Cooked. Johnson and Davis are of course famous for their picked-scab rawness; in the celebratory Sanctified-style congregation singing of the Dranes and Beck tracks you'll get that ring-shout feeling, absolutely unprocessed; and the really unproduced, unglossy, serene sincerity of Dorsey and Phillips beats, for my money, all those gospel singer-people any day, anyway. On the cooked side, you get all those quartet tracks ( _possibly_ excluding Mitchell's Singers, considered " least professional ", most primitive of the era's a cappell-ists ), a very controlled Mahalia Jackson ( no vibrato, but no interest ), and a rather novelty-ish jazz-pop offering from Rosetta Tharpe ( you won't think of Broonzy during _this_ one ). 1920s and '30s Gospel - if I can break away from the binary - divided itself into basically three " spaces " : the studio and concert hall ( the quartet singers ); the street ( the " jackleg preachers " , here represented by Johnson and Phillips - traveling evangelists, both Texan ); and the church ( - the " singing preachers ", like this CD's Burnett and Blakey, sold more records than either of the other kinds, regularly more than contemporaneous blues " stars " - listen to these after one of those gospel comps that are strictly studio affairs; sounds like the real thing, yeah? )You might wish for, say, " Dark Was the Night.." instead of "...Nobody's Fault.." as the selection from bottleneck guitar giant Johnson, but this is still an amazing start for any gospel comp, a lot of which feature the likes of the comparatively frivolous Tharpe cover of this song.Just as anomalous a sound ( in the context of the usual gospel comp ) is Phillips's zither-like dolceola and disarming singing - they're vaguely wistful, and if you're used to satin, showy gospel, you'll find the directness no less impressive and refreshing than that of the Johnson track!The compilation's strong start continues with 2 singing-preacher tracks ; then the first of the jubilee tracks! This CD has six quartet selections, four of which are quite distinctly " jubilee " - upbeat, with close and smooth harmonies ( no crazy leads ), sophisticated arrangements, the sound of pop vocal groups ( like, anachronistically, the Hi-Lo's; or like the Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots, obvious, acknowledged influences on the Golden Gates ). Well, you're going to have to hear this stuff some time, but by the third and fourth jubilee tracks, you'll probably be fidgetting. ( The comparatively " amateur vocal stylings " of Mitchell's Singers are heard to better effect on pieces like " Traveling Shoes " and " Here Am I ", not included here, where you get some nice falsetto, not a major feature of 'thirties quartet, but an ever-popular draw with the likes of me . ) The Southern Sons track hints, with Langford's falsetto and oily register-switching, of what is to come, but to modern sensibilities ( especially in a " religious " context ) the unintentionally comicbarbershop bass of Givens is off-putting, as are the commercial-polish " imitations " of the Gates, whose repertoire does include " Sweet Adeline ".The Davis track ( in the stronger first half of the CD ) is as interesting for the light it sheds on blues guitar ( you need to hear Davis if you're interested in Blind Boy Fuller and Brownie McGhee ) as its illumination of the street-evangelist scene. ( I read somewhere he can get into those challenging positions because his left wrist broke and set in an unusual way ! )Also in this first half is the ragtime piano of Dranes and her singers. This barrelhouse piano was apparently a regularfeature of Church of God inChrist music-making.More awesome still is Elder Beck's Lewis-like rollicking piano improvisation on my favorite _Essential Gospel_ track ( along with the Dorsey-Blackwell ). He went on to blow an Armstrong-comparable ( according to Stearns ) trumpet and in the 1950s made these amazingly relaxed, the vocals so laid-back it's so comical, recordings like " When ". Quite, quite infectious ( " Memphis Flu " _and_ " When " ).
