Remembering Tubby Hayes

Tubby Hayes is the best jazzman I have known from England. His fiery style is a unique combination of John Coltrane (tenor), Yusef Lateef and James Moody (flute), Milt Jackson (vibraphone), and many other American musicians he always admired. But he was able to mix all these different roots and influences into one huge sound, full of complex harmonies and a distinctive melodic approach. Like most of his American idols, he had a troubled life, ruined by alcohol and drugs. Finally, just before he reached the fame he truly deserved, a weak heart stopped him from blowing. Let’s go back and see where all these things got started:

The Berlin Album by Ekkehard Wölk Trio

"Berlin, Berlin, the city is a sin – you never go out the way you walked in!"

After some good years of productive collaboration between Ekkehard Wölk, Johannes Fink, and Andrea Marcelli, Ekkehard has driven them into a new concept which primarily consists of excitingly fresh interpretations of well-known musical standards related to the city of Berlin. The Ekkehard Wölk's new album is simply called The Berlin Album.

In terms of structure, the work is based on the legendary 1929 silent film Menschen Am Sonntag made collectively by Robert and Curt Siodmak, Billy Wilder, Edgar Ulmer, and Fred Zinnemann which describes the course of a single Sunday in the lives of four young people in Berlin.

"It seems to me that we have created not only a multifaceted musical kaleidoscope of jazz," says Ekkehard, "but we have also managed to forge an individual and playful reverence for our adopted hometown Berlin."

Ekkehard has incorporated some of Berlin’s most prominent composers from the past whose pieces have made a permanent contribution to the musical iconography of the city.

اولین آلبومی که مینگوس برای کمپانی کلمبیا ضبط کرد و آغاز دوره‌ای که به نظر من منتهی به خلق بهترین آثار او شده است. گرچه مینگوس هرگز واقعاً با کلمبیا کنار نیامد و بر سر آمار واقعی فروش همین آلبوم با آن‌ها درگیر بود.

آلبوم در این‌جا قابل شنیدن است. [برای باز کردن فایل Rar به رمزی احتیاج دارید که در قسمت کامنت‌های همین پست گذاشته شده است]

Another Place (Bunky Green, 2006)

Bunky's last studio album up to this day which is recorded in New York City under the management of Steve Coleman and probably unable to find a distributor had been remained in shelf for two years. Now it has been released by an obscure French label, Label Bleu.

There are six tunes in this collection, four of them copmosed by Bunky himself. Line up consists of pianist Jason Moran, bassist Lonnie Plaxico and drummer Nasheet Waits.

It's a good example of how a great musician under any circumstances could produce such a warm and personal jazz statement while this music supposed to be dead or at her last breathes.

He cry out his love songs, the same way Jackie McLean did in his masterpieces like Let freedom rings. His alto doesn't want to beg or be charming like Paul Desmond. Despite the fact that Alto has a feminine sound Bunky and cats like McLean can produce a masculine sound from it.

"He has flawless control of the alto's upper registers and his own form of the blues cry: piercingly passionate, yet always integrated within exquisitely crafted solos that are teeming with ideas. He can play "inside" and "outside" when apt within a single tune, so if the McLean of Destination Out (Blue Note, 1963) resonates for you, so will Bunky Green." says Norman Weinstein [all about jazz] about this very well executed record.


Track listing:
It Could Happen to You; With All My Love; Another Place; Tune X; Be; Soul Eyes.

Personnel:
Bunky Green: alto saxophone; Jason Moran: piano; Lonnie Plaxico: bass; Nasheet Waits: drums.

آخرين آلبوم استوديويي استاد ساكسفون آلتو، بانكي گرين، كه در نيويورك و با حمايت هاي مالي استيو كولمن ضبط و در پاريس منتشر شده است. مانند آلبوم هاي ديگر گرين موسيقي بين اجراهايي پرشور و جكي مك لين وار (منتهي با صدايي بهتر از جكي) از بالادها (نغمه هاي عاشقانه) و قطعات اريژينال بانكي كه مي توان آن ها را نقاشي هاي اكسپرسيونيستي او با صوت ناميد نوسان دارند و مي تواند مدت هاي مديد در اتاقتان شنيده شود بدون اين كه ملال و تكرار از زيبايي مسلم آن چيزي كم كند.
