Lou Donaldson “Lou Takes Off” Blue Note/Audio Wave XRCD24

 

 

This is a burning bebop session that really comes off well when already into the hard bop reality.

I bet the bassist and drummer were TIRED after this.

I heard that pre 1944 there was a recording "ban" whatever that means. That must have been a desaster for the record industry and for the musicians. Maybe it had to do with that scheiss-krieg and now we can´t hear much of the real story of the transition from swing to bop. Well there is "Early Bird" with the Jay McShann Orchestra that gives us a glimpse of how music was then, but I heard that Diz and Bird and Oscar Pettiford were on the street as early as 1943,44 ....

1942–1944 musicians' strike - Wikipedia  there's lots more that could be said about this, but this is the basics.

I have heard Ralph Burns only on that "Saturday Night Jazz Session"  on the America Label, that group with Fats Navarro (the reason I bought it then in the 70´s ) , Allen Eager, Charlie Ventura, Buddy Rich and I think that first number "High on an Open Mike" started with Ralph Burns on piano. I remember it was a quite unusual style, mostly with very heavy block chords on that descending chords in the bridge (I think I remember the song is based on "If I had You" in the A section with a bridge of descending chords).

Ralph Burns was member of the early Woody Herman Band (see Capitol). Very well known is his composition "Summer Sequence" in 4 parts.  Also co-writer of the famous composition "Early Autumn" featuring Stan Getz in Woodys band.

Jazz Studio 5 by Ralph Burns (Album; Decca; DL 8235): Reviews, Ratings,  Credits, Song list - Rate Your Music

Listening to Dave Schildkraut with Stan Kenton, Johnny Richards, Miles, and Chuck Wayne and had to come back to this one.

 

This "Jazz Studio" series Vol 1 to 5 is a very fine series and highly recommended from my side.

Have 3 Volumes.

Ah, thanks. I think I will try to track it down. But what's the next 51 Chess? Weren't all of them on that album mentioned?

Rollin' Stone contains the first 50 titles (1947-1952)

Hoochie Coochie Man has the next 51 titles ((1952-1958)

You Shook Me adds 49 titles (1958-1963)

This makes a chronological survey of Muddy Waters recordings for Aristocrat / Chess records (1947-1963)
