Buddy Tate Recomendations


Jazztropic

Recommended Posts

Texas Twister is a favorite. Also on New World is Jay McShann's "Going to Kansas City" with Tate, Julian Dash, Gene Ramey and Gus Johnson - very nice.

I suggest "The Ballad Artistry of Buddy Tate" on Sackville - with Ed Bickert's trio. I also recommend all the material on Prestige/Swingville, though they seem to be disappearing. The twofer called "Buddy and Claude" is gone from the Concord site and some of the others are only listed there.

Buddy Tate with Humphrey Lyttelton - Swinging Scorpio - Black Lion

Buddy Tate and His Buddies - Chiaroscuro

Buddy Tate - Swinging Like Tate - London

Buddy Tate/Nat Simpkins/Houston Person - Just Friends - Muse

Buddy Tate/Paul Quinichette/Jay McShann - Kansas City Joys - Sonet

You might be interested to know the cd version adds "A Kiss to Build a Dream On", "Gone With the Wind" and "Laura" for a total time of 69:26. :)

:o

There is one copy listed on Amazon for $149.99.

Ray Bryant made two albums for Columbia with Buddy Tate (& Harry Edison and other good guys).

The Madison time

Dancing the big twist

Unpromising titles. And "The Madison time" single was a big hit - #5 on the R&B chart, #30 pop. And fetures a DJ, Eddie Morrison, calling out the steps on the hit track and a couple of others. And these are really nice albums.

Collectables - as ever the home of the most stupid couplings - has put "Madison time" on the same CD as "Hollywood jazz beat" - a bunch of film ballads played with strings, while "Big twist" is coupled with "Ray Bryant trio".

Looks like Big Twist/Ray Bryant trio is one for the list.
