king ubu Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 A friend of mine is looking for a version of "Cute" (the Hefti chart for the Basie band) done as a bass feature. He heard somewhere, that this exists. Anyone knows anything? I only have the one version on the live Mosaic (which is a drum/flute feature) help very appreciated! thanks, ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free For All Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 There's a great version of Cute where someone sampled Buddy Rich's verbal rants and used them rhythmically in place of all the drum fills. Very funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Will have to check tonight: Horst Jankowski did a version of "Cute" on his c.1961 LP "Gäste bei Horst Jankowski" (on Metronome) that was used as the signature tune for a regular jazz radio broadcast on the German SDR (Süddeutscher Rundfunk) radio station for a VERY long time and therefore is bound to be fairly familiar to a certain generation (or generations) of radio listeners. As I haven't listened to this LP for a while I don't remember, though, if a bass solo features prominently in that version. Will report back later. Edit: Just saw the original post is eons old. Let us know, King Ubu, if your friend has found the version he is looking for. Edited April 30, 2009 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
