Two trumpets?


Chrome

Recommended Posts

In addition to their wellknown BN dates, Woody & Freddie did an all-Brownie one for another label whose name I forgot, similar in personel, concept and quality. And how could we all forget to mention the genisus (?) of the two trumpet thing (even if they were technically playing cornets)--Louis & King Oliver?!

That all-Brownie date with Hubbard and Shaw is "Time Speaks," under Benny Golson's leadership, on Timeless.

What's this you say about Louis and King Tolliver? ;)

that snide remark reminds me there's one track on one of the McLean albums included in the Mosaic set where both Tolliver and Lee Morgan play, no?

There's a very tasty John McNeil album with Tom Harrell from 1979 on Steeplechase, "Look to the Sky." The Candoli Brothers "Two Brothers" (Hindsight) -- recorded live in Chicago in 1983, with some of the best recorded work by the late great drummer Wilbur Campbell -- is definitely worth tracking down.

There's this album listed under Coltrane's name, but it's really a group effort:

"Interplay for 2 Trumpets and 2 Tenors"

Here's Yanow's AMG review:

Although generally reissued under John Coltrane's name, the most significant musician on this CD is pianist Mal Waldron who contributed four of the five complex compositions including the original version of "Soul Eyes"; Jimmy Heath's "C.T.A." is also performed. Coltrane teams up with fellow tenor Bobby Jaspar, trumpeters Idrees Sulieman and Webster Young, guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Art Taylor and either Waldron or Red Garland on piano. With so many soloists present on this advanced hard bop date, Coltrane is only one star among many although he does emerge as the standout. — Scott Yanow

Here are a few more to add to the growing list:

Dizzy and Jon Faddis team up on Dizzy Gillespie Jam - Montreux '77 - just the 2 trumpets, Bags, and rhythm (Pablo).

KD and Rolf Ericson (trumpet and fluegelhorn) on Scandia Skies (Steeplechase).

KD and Allan Botschinsky (fluegelhorn) on Short Story (Steeplechase).

Buck Clayton and Ruby Braff: Buck Meets Ruby (Vanguard).

What We Live: Quartet for a Day (New World) adds Dave Douglas and Wadada Leo Smith to the trio.

The Alternate Blues (Pablo) features additional tracks from the Trumpet Summit (Clark Terry/Dizzy/Freddie Hubbard) album mentioned previously.

Also, the Buck Clayton Columbia Jam Sessions feature 2 or 3 trumpets on each date (Buck, Joe Newman, Joe Thomas, Ruby Braff, Billy Butterfield). Even though the groups are large, the sessions are blowing sessions, not big band sessions, so I guess they qualify.

Don't forget those wacky "Santos Brothers" from Mexico ;)

Have not heard them(would love to),but Steeplechase has put out a few "jam" cds lately featuring 3 trumpets(Wendholt,Gisbert Ballou).

A "Trumpet Tribute" on Trip Records--60's jam session recorded in Brooklyn w/Woody Shaw,Blue Mitchell,Kenny Dorham,Bill Hardman,Richard Williams and the less than stellar Walter Kelly.
