Durium Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 DUANE TATRO His eleven compositions here are redolent of several of the "futuristic" trends in West Coast jazz of the period. The octet scores are full of striking textures, sounds and directions - jazz may not have gone this way, but it's still fascinating to listen back to what might have happened (cover text). This record from the 1950s is the only record as a jazz composer. Duane Tatro, who would become a famous composer for TV and film soundtracks, is rather unknown as a jazz composer.

GA Russell Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Jazz for Moderns is a favorite of mine. It was an Album of the Week back in '05. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...10&hl=Tatro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Leave us not forget Art Pepper's magnificent rendition of Tatro's "Maybe Next Year" on SMACK UP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I need to re-listen to that one. The tune everybody talks about on the Pepper is the Ornette cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Something about a handjob from Titania being the Boy Scout way, or something approximately that. I kid you not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 No. I believe you. I knew I wouldn't understand. Still, something comforting about reading it and not understanding. I'm comfortable in my intellectuality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
