A felvétel

Minden idők egyik legszebb operafelvétele jelenik most meg magyar kiadásban. Ritkán születik hanglemez produkció ilyen szerencsés csillagzat alatt. Callas, Di Stefano és Gobbi pályájuk legszebb éveiben jártak, midőn 1953-ben ezt a felvételt elkészítették. Ez Önmagában azonban még nem lett volna elég Vidor de Sabata vezánylése nélkül. Ez az egészen kivételes képességű nagy karmester, sajnos, kevés hanglemezen hallható. Ezen a felvételen jól megfigyelhető, hogy mindent tud, ami egy opera hiteles, élményszerű megszólaltatásához szükséges. Drámai ereje, atmoszférája lenyűgöző. Lálegezni engedi a zenét. Az apróbb, nagyobb tempómódositásokkal: gyorsításokkal, lassításokkal, mindig meggyőzően él, nagyszerűen érvényesíti Puccini rendkívül színes zenekarának pompáját; fokozásai, csúcspontjai lélegzetállitóak. Már az első hangokkal magához bilincseli a hallgatót. Angelotti menekülés-zenéjével az izgalom, a dráma légkörébe von. Egyetlen szóval lehet jellemezni vezénylését: élményszerű. A fiatal Callas — 30 éves volt ekkor, — hangjának teljében a lírai és a dri jelenetekben egyaránt maradéktalan élményt nyújt. Szinte láthaljuk színészi alakítását Is, annyira szuggesztív a produkciója. Callasról sokat lehet vitatkozni, nem neki való szerepek, vagy nem mindig a legjobb hangi állapotában készített lemezek kapcsán, ebben a szerepben, ezen a felvételen azonban tökéletes. A karmester ás a címszereplő színvonalához illő Di Stefano és Gobbi, a két kiváló énekes nagyon jó produkciója. Kevés hanglemez tudja feledtetni a stúdiómunka kínos pontosságát, sokszor lélekölő precízitását; ez a lemez azonban olyan, mintha egy kitűnő színpadi előadást rögzített volna.

Review

by Richard Foss

There are some musical ideas that work so well that the first time you hear them, you wonder why it wasn't done before. Such is the nature of Skaravan, the pioneering fusion between jazz and Jamaican music. Jazz Jamaica's rhythm section is most firmly anchored in the Caribbean tradition, the brass most firmly in the jazz camp, and together they make fantastic music. The original pieces are good, the covers revelatory. From the jazz side, Duke Ellington's "Caravan" has never sounded this loose, funky, and fun. From the ska side, this version of Don Drummond's "Don Cosmic" makes most others sound stilted and lifeless. (Drummond came from a jazz background himself before he helped create the Skatellites and release the albums that definite ska, so this could be taking the tune back to its roots.) That said, Skaravan isn't just a fusion of ska and jazz -- there are hints of mento, rhumba, and other styles going on here. This stylistic fusion sounds so good, it's a shame that this band never released a live album. As fine as the clean, precise renditions here sound, it would be wonderful to hear this band tossing around some solos and really stretching these tunes in different …  » Read more

NOTES


Soon atter post-war Europe had got rid ot blackouts and lit up its streets, it began to take a lively interest in what had happened overseas in the jazz scene. There was no laek ot attractive points. Swing music had evolved into a broad stream ot dance and Pop music, modern jazz had made its début on New York’s 52nd Street, and a seetion ot the jazz public, and jazz pertormers as well, had started re-discovering the artistic values ot historical jazz relegated tormerly to a secondary position by other jazz developrnents.
The revivalist movement became an integral part ot the advance ot jazz music. The initial steps were made in the late thirties and early torties by several American and European writers and reviewers who began to concentrate on popularising the original New Orleans and Chicago jazz, as well as Atro-American tolk music whieh gave birth to jazz at the turn ot the ceptury. Old gramophone records turnished documentary evidence, and trantic search started tor the jazz veterans who had nursed jazz trom its cradle. The heritage was taken up by groups ot young white musicians on the West coast ot the USA, in Australia, and tinally also in Europe. Europe’s most etteetive stimulant in that respeet was Australia’s revivalist-type jazz, as pertormed by Graeme Bell and his Dixieland Jazz Band on their 1947—1948 tour.
The brothers Graeme and Roger Bell, who had played several years in various dance bands, met in February 1940 elarinetist Don Roberts and drummer Russ Murphy. They tormed the Graeme Bell’s Jazz Gang quartet which soon won an engagement at the holiday resort ot Portsea, and later in Melbourne. As early as 1941, the group staged several jazz concerts which tound enthusiastic young public. By 1944, they polished their specitic style based on the original New Orleans jazz and on the elassical jazz ot the twenties, with appropriato instrumental east: the dominant influence in their repertolre were old recordings by the coloured greats ot the twenties, such as Jelly Roll Morton, Joe ‘King’ Oliver, the Dodds brothers, and Louis Armstrong. A contributing taetor was the high tide ot the revivalist Lu Watters group in Calitornia. The Australian publie learned to expeet good jazz music, and Bell’s example helped to bring into lite several other traditionalist groups; experts coined the term “Australian jazz sehool”. Bell’s orchestra won a new engagement in the Palais Royal restaurant, guest-pertormed regularly on the Australian Radio, and atter the war Graeme Bell tounded his own Uptown Club cabaret. The orchestra came to Prague in 1947 with the Australian delegation to the lst World Festival ot Youth and Students, and Prague was also the Ílrst stage ot the Australian group’s historie European tour. While in Czechoslovakia, Graeme Bell and his Dixieland Jazz Band played in Prague’s Fénix caté, and Gramoklub Prague sponsored their tour ot virtually all major cities and towns in Bohemia and Moravia. The special poster said that the Czechoslovak public was enjoying its tlrst opportunity to hear pure and authentic improvised jazz in its traditional elassical torm, and that the concerts would be a historical jazz review which would feature martial jazz in the spirit ot the old, late 19th-century New Orleans hands, elassical jazz, stomps and rags, New Orleans blues, ete. And the Australians untailingly kept that promise at their concerts, as well as in their recordings on the Supraphon label. The 12 items featured on this LP were recorded in autumn 1947 and issued originally on 78’s; eight ot them were later issued by Supraphon on LF’s. Some “pirated” editions later appeared abroad, but tbis LP Is the llrst to teature the complete set ot the recordings made in Prague by the Graeme Bell Band. They appear here at their best, and the set rivals any other recording made by them elsewhere. A tactor ot the exeellence ot their pertormance was certainly the atmosphere in the recording studio at that time, as well as the extremely warm reception given the Australians by Czechoslovak jazz tans, erities and musicians. The group responded by dedicating two compositions to their listeners in Czechoslovakia: Czechoslovak Journey, and Walking Wenceslas Square, which express the teelings experienced by the Australian musicians on their Czechoslovak tour. Ot the other items, Dallas Blues and I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate eertainy rank among the best recorclings ever made by any revivalist groups, thanks in no small degree to Roger Bell’s vocal, the exeellent ensemble playing, and the style and pertormance ot the individual musicians.
The situation has ehanged considerably sinee the late torties, when Graeme Bell and his Dixieland Jazz Band toured Czechoslovakia, France, Belgium, Holland and England. The flrst modest attempts ot that time have led to the birth ot dozens ot amateur and protessional traditional groups trom Leningrad to London. Traditional jazz and dixieland are well -represented at many regular jazz testivals, and jazz tans’ collections ot this type ot music have grown to respeetable proportions. Traditional jazz has otten enjoyed the highest popularity ratings, and it has intlueneed very distinctly standard Pop musie. Ali that, in retrospect, serves to show the 4Moneering role ot the Graeme Bell Band’s European tour and ot their reeordings, which are not only a historic document, but above all a torever tresh artistic ereation which has lost none ot its appeal over the intervening 25 years.

This CD reissue of one of tenor-saxophonist Zoot Sims's final recordings adds a version of "Emaline" to the original program. Pianist Jimmy Rowles often co-stars on the date (with bassist George Mraz and drummer Akira Tana offering solid support). The lyrical repertoire emphasizes ballads and pretty melodies with the highpoints including such offbeat material as Woody Guthrie's "So Long," Sims's "Brahms...I Think," "In the Middle of a Kiss" and the more familiar "Never Let Me Go" and "Suddenly It's Spring." The melodic performances are quite warm, romantic and enjoyable, fine examples of subtle creativity. ~ Scott Yanow

Review

by Scott Yanow

Zoot Sims (doubling on tenor and soprano) teams up once again with pianist Jimmy Rowles; this time bassist Frank Tate and drummer Akira Tana are the supporting cast. Rowles is a master not only at accompanying soloists (he always seems to come up with the perfect chord) but in picking up superior obscurities to perform. In addition to "Georgia on My Mind" and "The Touch of Your Lips," this album contains such tunes as "I Wish I Were Twins," "Changes" and Johnny Mercer's "You Go Your Way"; Sims contributed "The Fish Horn" to feature his soprano. A fine swinging date filled with thoughtful improvisations.

George Benson's sound is so recognizable that, in its way, it's quite comforting to hear his voice or his guitar come across on the radio or in a club. His recordings have been polished and extravagant in many cases, but there are those signature elements — his relaxed delivery and silky touch on the strings and his voice, as evocative as a cool breeze floating across a hot summer night. Songs and Stories doesn't deviate from his formula a great deal, but it doesn't have to. He's chosen ten ubiquitous pop tunes from a variety of songwriters (and one by a relatively new kid on the block), and with the help of producers John Burk and Marcus Miller, he puts them across in fine style. The set opens with James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," with the great Brazilian guitarist Toninho Horta on acoustic to contrast with Benson's electric. The tune simply eases down into the listener, and more than a desperate plea as it was in Taylor's case, this version is a request that offers plenty of rhythm — courtesy of a beatbox by Butterscotch and Paulinho Da Costa's percussion. Another standout on the set is the slow strolling version of Bill Withers' "A Telephone Call Away," with guest vocalist Lalah Hathaway in duet, Gerald Albright's saxophone, and Bobby Sparks II's B-3 all adding to the band's textural palette. Following it is an intimate small-group setting of a cover of "Someday We'll All Be Free" by Lalah's late father, Donny Hathaway. Young Southern soul singer/songwriter Marc Broussard contributes "Come in from the Cold" to the mix. Benson is accompanied by Tom Scott on saxophones, guitarist Jubu, Miller's bass, and Sparks' Hammond, embellished by some nice Rhodes work by Greg Phillinganes. The reading of Tony Joe White's "Rainy Night in Georgia" is unusual, and laden with strings, but it works because Benson doesn't try to create a definitive version of anything; he simply creates his own. There are also two fine surprises at the end of the disc: an excellent version of Smokey Robinson's "One Like You" with a large ensemble; and a downright funky take on Lamont Dozier's "Living in High Definition," which is sure to be a hit at contemporary jazz radio. Benson, Jubu, and Wah Wah Watson all contribute electric guitars, with Miller playing vibes as well as laying down layers of beats atop his own string arrangements. Benson fans should have a ball with Songs and Stories. It's consistently smooth in texture, its arrangements are elegant, and it's sequenced beautifully.

Recorded live at the Roxy in Hollywood, 
sept 30, oct. 1st, oct. 2nd. 1977.

On the surface. George Benson's career has followed the pattern established by Nat "King" Cole and Ray Charles: many duespaying years as an instrumentalist, then the big payoff with the emphasis on vocals. There are significant differences, however, because Benson has been singing since his preteens, long before either his minifame as a serious jazz musician or his current pop stardom as a singer guitarist. And, more important, while Cole and Charles were and are thoroughly original artists, Benson remains a polished follower.

vocals on this live double album again reflect a debt to Charles and to Stevie Wonder. Benson more often sounds like an unknown soldier in that nondescript legion of black crooners who once or twice came up with a hit (like Tommy Edwards with "It's All in the Game," covered here) and were then forgotten. Anonymous carbon-copy arrangements and tepid Jorge Dalto acoustic piano inhibit "Game," "Down Here on the Ground" and "Lady Blue," but "On Broadway" works better with its meaner groove, guitar scat section and a model percussion duet from Harvey Mason and Ralph MacDonald. Nothing, however, is as obviously geared toward the charts as "The Greatest Love of All" (a black "My Way" with enough hooks for three songs), which finds Benson confidently and enthusiastically belting at a melodramatic peak.
Early Benson fans won't find much satisfaction in the six instrumentals. With session masters like MacDonald, Mason and rhythm guitarist Phil Upchurch on board, this band clearly knows how to play, but a little of that extended "What's Going On" vamp feeling, heard on almost every cut, soon becomes a lot. True, Benson recites a number of stunning guitar licks that occasionally overwhelm through sheer quantity ("Windsong"), but his playing too often sounds disconnected. "We as Love," the one song on which he relaxes and tells a musical story, finds many of the Roxy's audience engaged in conversations of their own. (RS 261)

Notes

Lou Donaldson (born November 3, 1926) is a jazz alto saxophonist. He was born in Badin, North Carolina. He is best known for his soulful, bluesy approach to playing the alto saxophone, although in his formative years he was, as many were of the bebop era, heavily influenced by Charlie Parker.

His first recordings were with bop emissaries Milt Jackson and Thelonious Monk in 1952 and he participated in several small groups with other jazz luminaries such as trumpeter Blue Mitchell, pianist Horace Silver, and drummer Art Blakey.

In 1953, he also recorded sessions with the trumpet virtuoso Clifford Brown, and Philly Joe Jones. He was a member of Art Blakey's Quintet and appeared on some of their best regarded albums, including the two albums recorded at Birdland in February 1954 Night at Birdland.

He has recorded in the bop, hard bop, and soul jazz genres. For many years his pianist was Herman Foster.

Notes


immer zu dessen Vorteil) vom spritzigen Operettenwitz weg in die Náhe der feineren Komik und der lyriscbromantisdien Züge der Spieloper. Eme Begegnurig in Budapest mit deni Novellisten Maurus Jokai, dem „ungarischen Balzac”, hatte StrauB mit deni Stoff von Jokais Erzáhiung „Saffi” bekannt gemacht. In dieser um 1750 spielenden Geschid-ite aus dem Temeser Banat war zudem nodi der Nachklang eines aktuellen Themas aus der Mitte des Jahrhunderts enthalten: des ungarischzigeunerischen, das zu Zeiten Liszts noch Von nationalem Aufbruch kündete, zur Zeit der Strauíl’scben Komposition aber, als sidi die Gegensátze zwischen Osterreicb und Ungarn wieder versöhnten, die Bedeutung einer biollen Milieufarbe, eines wirksamen Stimmungsreizes annahm.
Was der gewandte, sich dem Komponisten mit psydiologischem Geschick anpassende Journalist Ignaz Schnitzer aus Jokais Novelle für StrauB als Textbudi zurecbtzimmerte, war etwa clies: Derjunge Ungar Sándor Barinkayfindet, aus derVerbannung heimkehrend, die Güter seiner Vorfabren verwahrlost und von Zigeunern bewohnt. Sem Nachbar ist der reidi gewordene Sdiweinezüditer Zsupán, der selbst ein Auge auf Barinkays Güter geworfen hatte, mit seiner vornehm erzogenen Tochter Arsena. Barinkay verliebt sich iri Arsena, wird aber hocbmütig abgewiesen: der Bewerber um ihre Hand müsse niindestens ein Baron sem. Der Gekrinkte fühit sidi nun mehr zu den heimatlosen Zigeunern hingezogen, besonders zu dem Zigeunermádchen Saffi; er wird Zigeunerbaron”, grábt einen von seinem Vater versteckten Sdiatz aus seinem Boden aus, dessen Verheimlid-iung allerdings die ibm gewhrte Amnestie wieder in Frage steilt, worauf er sich Von den Homonaysd,en Husaren zum Krieg gegen Spanien anwerben láBt, dort Heldentaten vollbringt und, in aller Form dafür geadelt, min wirklicb seine Saffi heiniführt. Wie sidi herausstellt, ist diese übrigens keine Zigeunerin, sondern die Toditer eines türkisdien Pasdias.
Zwei Jahre arbeitete Straull an der Koniposition; er niacbte es sich nidit leicht. Als er, kurz vor seineni 60. Geburtstag, fertig war, hatte er - trotz allem, was man
abermais gegen das Libretto und gegen ein gelegentlidies Zuviel an eigener Notenbastelei einwenden mag
- ein Werk vollendet, in dem sich echte Rührung und erfrisdiende Heiterkeit dieWaage halten, in dem (sciion gleidi in der Introduktion) die einsame, von Zigeunersdiwermut erfülite Landscbaft vernehmlidi mitsprid-it und der Szene einen magiscben Hintergrund gibt. Barinkays Auftrittslied mit dem Walzerrefrain Jo, das alles auf Ehr”, die sdimissig-fred-ie Chorpolka vom „Hodizeitskuchen”, die echte Opernarie der Saffi „O habet adit!”, das ganze erste Finale sind bekannte Nunimern der Partitur. Das popu1rste Stück, dessen geheininisvoll giánzende Sdiönheit alle Dilettantinnen der Welt an hiiuslidien Kaminen bislang nicht umzubringen vermodite,i, folgt im zweiten Akt nadi dem köstiidien Schatzwalzer: das Dompfaff-Duett „Wer uns getraut”. Dem etwas platten, sentimentalisierenden SchluIl von der Himmelsmacht der Liebe zum Trotz - es Iiegt ein so ijedhaft reiner Zauber über diesem Duett, daB man so baid nicht müde werden wird, es zu hören.
Die stollenden Rhythmen des Werbe1iedsHerdie Hand” sollen der Geigenmelodie eines ungarisdien Zigeuners entstammen. Entsdieidend ist, weldie hinreiBenden Partien der Komponist daraus für das zweite Finale gewinnt, diesen ungewöhnlich ernsten, mit der Trennung der Liebenden das Tragische streifenden Aktsdilull. Zsupán, durdi sem Couplet vom „Borstenvieh und Sdiweinespeck” zur Figur der Charakterposse gestempelt (der berühmte Alexander Girardi spielte ihn in der Uraufführung), rückt im kurzen dritten Akt nod-i einmai nadi vorn, bis der Einzugsmarsch, den StrauB mit üppigsten Bühnenmitteln dargestejit wissen wollte, alles andere beiseite drángt; die patriotisdie Welle, die von diesem Marsdi auf die Zuschauer der Premiere übersprang, sidierte nidit zuletzt dem Werk den gewaltigen Anfangserfolg.
EJberdies war es, wie gesagt, ein Brfolg des Zigeunermilieus, der dann leider zu eifriger Nadiahmung angeregt hat. Aber selbst Lehárs „Zigeunerliebe” und die „Czardasfürstin” Kálmáns haben nicht mehr den Glanz und die Erfindungskraft des „Zigeunerbarons” erreidit.

Review
Along with his album with Count Basie (Basie and Zoot) during the same period, this is one of Sims' most exciting recordings of his career. Greatly assisted by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Grady Tate, he explores ten songs written by George and Ira Gershwin. Somehow the magic was definitely present and, whether it be stomps such as "The Man I Love," "Lady Be Good," and "I Got Rhythm" or warm ballads (including "I've Got a Crush on You" and "Embraceable You"), Zoot Sims is heard at the peak of his powers. A true gem. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
