LOUIE BELLSON
Dynamite!
1979


Recordings by Louie Bellson's various big bands tend to be a slight disappointment, full of fire and explosive moments but sometimes lacking in subtlety and surprises. This effort finds the classic drummer at the head of a 14-horn, 19-piece orchestra that is certainly full of power. Bellson, his tenor star Don Menza and altoist Matt Catingub wrote all of the six songs, and among the key soloists are Menza, Catingub, trumpeter Bobby Shew, altoist Dick Spencer and guitarist John Chiodini (featured on "Where Did You Go"). Nothing all that unusual occurs (although Don Menza's Sambandrea Swing" is exciting), but modern big-band fans will enjoy the effort.

A Big Band kategóriában egy igen neves, és ismert előadőval találkozhatunk ezen az albumon. Gondolom Louie Bellsont nem igazán kell bemutatni a zenét kedvelőknek. Ezen az albumon is dobosként jeleskedik mint megannyi lemezen is tette. Ezen albumnak a különleges apropója, hogy amerikába kivádorolt hazánk fia, Szabó Ferenc mint lead trombitás játszik ezen a lemezen. Ha tüzetesebben utána néz valaki akkor máris felfedezheti, hogy Frank Szabó bizony nagyon sok világhírű előadóval játszott együtt Pl Ray Anthony, Thomas Talbert, Kelly Smith, és még hosszasan sorolhatnám. Egyébként Szabó Ferenc 1995-ben hunyt el amerikában. Ez a két album amit eddig feltettem Ray Anthony és Louie Belson's, egy 35 lemezes gyüjtemény része, természetesen minden lemezen Szabó Ferenc játéka is hallható. A közel jövőben találkozunk még a nevével lemezei kapcsán
