Gheorghe Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hello ! On my CD the composer of that tune is "unknown". But the tune sounds so familiar to me, I´m sure I heard it on some other record from about that time, with another title. I´m not sure, but it might be on a BlueNote album of some BN Artist, maybe Art Blakey or Lee Morgan. Maybe, on a Prestige -Album, anyway something from that period. Does somebody have an idea, what´s the name of the same tune on other recordings. Since I don´t remember where I heard it before and don´t remember the title, it would be hard for me to listen through all my BN , Prestige, Riverside - albums because I got hundreds of them.....

mjzee Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 In the Fearless Leader box, Coltrane is listed as composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 well I don´t have no box, but after I posted that question, the melody came thru my mind with the chord progressions and all, as it usually does if I got some music in my head. Well, in my head, in my mind it sounds like some Benny Golson stuff, the way it´s composed, and how the chords run. Maybe it´s under another title on some early Lee Morgan BN stuff, because Golson wrote a lot of stuff for Lee during that time. We´ll see what´s about that tune.....

aparxa Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Benny Green recorded "Black Pearl", in 1958 on BN Soul Stirrin', a composition of Bill Graham according to Wikipedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thank you ! Well yes, I got that album but haven´t listened to it recently. So I´ll give it a listening again. Yes, I was sure it must have been on some BN album. I got all 3 Benny Green albums on BN, but must admit I didn´t pay much attention to them after listening 2 or 3 times.

mikeweil Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 The Bill Graham tune Bennie Green recorded was "Black Pearl" without the "s" - should be a tune different from the Coltrane one - haven't got the time for comparative listening right now, though.

Gheorghe Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 That´s also my problem, right now I don´t have the time for listening. If its not the tune on tne Bennie Green album, I´ll have to listen to many BN from the 50´s to find the tune. I still believe it could be under another title, and it really has strong relations to the way Benny Golson writes. Anyway, a really nice tune like many from that period. Not hard to remember, easy to play , just a nice little tune..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 what do you mean by "should be a different one?" I didn't listen carefully and I'm really not good at this type of thing but they did sound the same to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
