DMP Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Nat Hentoff, in his article on Benny Golson in today's "Wall Street Journal" writes ..."in 1957, I produced the album 'Benny Golson's New York Jazz Scene' for Contemporary records, his first as the leader of his Jazztet." Huh? I never figured Nat Hentoff for an April Fools kind of guy... Quote

Huh? I never figured Nat Hentoff for an April Fools kind of guy... I'm in the library and am gonna read that right now. I heard Benny not long ago and it was wonderful. His mind is one of the best and the material almost is irrelevant. His sound, especially for tenor, bone, and trumpet, is his sound, and one for sore ears. It always comes out Benny Golson. Quote
paul secor Posted April 2, 2009 Report Posted April 2, 2009 Art Farmer plays on that date. That may be the first time they recorded together in a small group, so the quintet sides on that date might be seen as a precursor to the Jazztet. Quote

The album I know has Wynton Kelly and, I'm pretty sure, Lee Morgan and is called 'the New York Scene'. Great article, BTW. Quote

Three quintet sides w. Golson & Farmer. Edited April 3, 2009 by paul secor Quote
