Hank Mobley – Roll Call
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1960, Jazz
During his tenure with Miles Davis, Hank Mobley made four Blue Note albums with band mates Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers, the most celebrated being Soul Station with Art Blakey on drums. For Roll Call, recorded nine months later, Mobley assembled the same magnificent rhythm section and added Freddie Hubbard on trumpet. The result rivals its more well known predecessor in swing, soul and incredible solos. The gospely “A Baptist Beat,” heard here in two takes, has become a favorite among club DJs and acid jazz fans.

Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer.
Widely considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Miles Davis was, with his musical groups, at the forefront of several major developments in jazz music, including bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz fusion. Many well-known musicians rose to prominence as members of Davis’ ensembles, including saxophonists Gerry Mulligan, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, George Coleman, Wayne Shorter, and Kenny Garrett; trombonist J. J. Johnson; pianists Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Keith Jarrett; guitarists John McLaughlin, John Scofield and Mike Stern; bassists Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, and Dave Holland; and drummers Tony Williams, Billy Cobham and Jack DeJohnette.
On October 7, 2008, his album Kind of Blue, released in 1959, received its fourth platinum certification from the RIAA, signifying sales of 4 million copies. Miles Davis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Davis was noted as “one of the key figures in the history of jazz”.
On November 5, 2009, Rep. John Conyers of Michigan sponsored a measure in the US House of Representatives to recognize and commemorate the album Kind of Blue on its 50th anniversary. The measure also affirms jazz as a national treasure and “encourages the United States government to preserve and advance the art form of jazz music.” It passed, unanimously, with a vote of 409–0 on December 15, 2009.

Giorgio Azzolini – Tribute To Someone
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1960, Jazz
A record that is not like many others. In recent times there have been quite a few jazz recordings in Italy, but each of theme is the result of a great amount of work and very careful selection. Maybe that is the reason why every new jazz record may be considered different from the others. This one , which I’m proud to present, is the result of the desire, the planning and the direction of Giorgio Azzolini, a well-known Italian double-bass jazz player and one of the most passionate supporters of this kind of music. Born in La Spezia on 29-3-28, Giorgio Azzolini studied in Florence with maestro Antonio Godoli and built up his profile within the jazz circuit thanks to a long period in the Basso Valdambrini Quintet and to many performances in various jazz festivals. Throughout his career he performed has with innumerous artist like: Buddy Collette, Stephan Grapelly, Bobby Jaspar, Chet Baker, Hellen Merrill, Gerry Mulligan, Lars Gullin and Herb Geller. In regards to this album, important contributions were made by great musicians like Franco Ambrosetti on trumpet, “Gato” Barbieri on tenor sax, Dino Piana on trombone, Renato Sellani and Pocho Gatti on piano and Lionello Bionda on drums. This international line up conferring to the album’s sound a creative musical variety for different scenarios. Technically, this is also achieved by different line ups: “Tribute To Someone” is performed by sextet, “So What” and “Too Blue” by a trio, “Sometime Ago”, “The Stroller” and “Hiroshima” by a quintet. Franco Ambrosetti – trumpet Gato Barbieri – tenor sax Dino Piana – trombone Pocho Gatti – piano Renato Sellani – piano Lionello Bionda – drums Giorgio Azzolini – acoustic bass.

The Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Art Blakey's 1960 Jazz Messengers
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1960, Jazz
Drummer Art Blakey led many great editions of the Jazz Messengers from the inaugural mid-’50s sessions until his death in the ’90s. While arguments rage regarding which was his best, there is no doubt that the 1960-1961 unit figures in the debate. This wonderful six-disc set, notated with care and painstaking detail by Bob Blumenthal, covers studio and live sessions from March 6, 1960, to May 27, 1961, with the same personnel on all but two songs. Producer Michael Cuscuna used only first issue dates, and while he included some alternate takes, he did not litter the discs with second-rate vault material. They smoothly detail the band’s evolution, cohesion, and maturation. This set, as with all Mosaic boxes, goes beyond essential. Get it post haste.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers – The Big Beat
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1960, Jazz
Perhaps the best known and most loved of Art Blakey’s works, The Big Beat is a testament to the creative progress of one of the best jazz drummers of all time. Now over 40 years old, The Big Beat is as thunderous as ever. Here, Blakey combines his rhythm with tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter’s brilliant composing to make what could only be termed a “structurally raw” album. Each track rips through bebop as quickly as Blakey ripped through drum heads. “Dat Dere” and “Lester Left Town” stand out as part of the true canons for hot jazz. Two alternate versions of “It’s Only a Paper Moon” round out the album, both brimming with the fluid integrity of the song and the drive only Blakey could provide. As one of the few drummers to step out and lead, not just play backup, Blakey created a true jazz treasure in The Big Beat.
