couw replied to ghost of miles's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
harrrrrr! up, up, and away! it's international talk like a pirate day today! http://www.talklikeapirate.com/ http://www.yarr.org.uk/ -
up for this rare nugget. Buddy Collette (alto, flute), Oscar Valdambrini (trumpet), Gianni Basso (tenor sax), Renato Sellani (piano), Giorgio Azzolini (bass), Gianni Cazzola (drums). Collette is great, but those Italians ain't nothing to sneeze at either. Azzolini is a beautiful bass player.

My wife likes this album a lot. She tends to put it on on a Sunday morning every now and then. Excellent music for that time of the week. Nice and relaxed and no stress. Have a long breakfast with a nice cup of coffee, read the paper...

I had some tracking problems with the disk skipping through some parts and the track index not being fully functional, but I managed to hear most of it anyway, so here goes een: nice old fun stuff. not a clue as to the players, but this is friendly and spreads good vibes. that bassist is slapping hard! twee: big broad grinning smile and rolling eyes betty boop music. more fun and more good vibes and more of that slapping it around. drie: very nice smooth swinging tune with a lot of restraint and decency. very well suited for dances and for listens. these guys are smoking pillars, but their dinner jackets hide it all. which is not necessarily a bad thing really. vier: typical kind of swing with an unmistakeable rhythm and w/ Prez to boot (or is it Evans? nah) vijf: heheheh. pretty recent recording with lots of grins and funniness. fits with a doopey face and silly dance steps with the knees bend. good trumpet. zes. caffeine! Slam on bass. Pianist may be Tatum, but then again it's a bit tame for him. unless he only had tea for breakfizz. zeven: nice and easy, no clue, no guesses. acht: that's Duke with Blanton, right? admittedly, it was Duke I recognised... absolutely fantastic bass playing negen: klengelengelengkleng with tasty tenor recorded in the hallway behind the kitchen. strange balance on this recording, plus it keeps skipping ... tien: dunno, some plucks remind me of Mingus, some certainly not. sounds like Hamp at the door. let him in! elf: Lou! Bu! with Curley, Horace and GOD on trumpet live at Birdland. Donaldson is on FIRE here, Clifford burns down the house. Horace does his patented theme weaving. Amazing stuff. twaalf: and it doesn't stop for here we have the high priest on the ivories tickling them till they laugh his funny tales. dertien: ah, it's Slime! drip, drip. some of his stuff I can actually stand veertien: nice trumpet stuffs. second horn sounds like the notes are sucked instead of blown. what device is this? the theme is a bit silly, but let's just like it because of that. vijftien: early bop with plenty of swing. the ice seems a bit too slippery for the tenor. the bass walks like one of those mad and fast walking guys at the olympics with the shaking hips, cool sunglasses and foaming mouths. zestien: some spiffy playing here, but it leaves me a bit chilly, sounds too much like it is supposed to sound somehow. zeventien: nice piano! this valve trombone? nice light tune that didn't grab me much, but ey. achttien: PC and a great tenor. Who dis? Byrd on trumpet, ja? Good stuff if turning a deaf ear on PC's pitch. negentien: oy! this is great! what is this? pity the guy at the door is humming louder than the door creaks. trumpet sounds like Thad Jones. not sure if I can fit in a listen to the second disk, which I only gave a cursory listen thus far, but thanks a bunch for this disk one, it was a great ride!
