Master jazz drummer Max Roach pretty much put the "be" in bebop, playing with practically every major figure in jazz, from Bird to Dizzy to Miles to Mingus and more. It's a tribute to his own musical vision that his numerous solo recordings are just as worthy as his famous sessions. Roach's first solo date for Riverside, 1958's DEEDS, NOT WORDS, nevertheless finds the drumming doyen in grand company. Listening to the fleet-fingered musical dialogue between Roach and saxophonist George Coleman on "It's You or No One," or the way trumpet demon Booker Little blows the roof off of "Jodie's Cha-Cha," it's immediately clear that a major part of Roach's genius lies in surrounding himself with jazz giants who can bend notes, beats, and phrases to their desires in just as seamless a manner as the man on the skins.
This CD reissue of a Max Roach Riverside date is notable for featuring the great young trumpeter Booker Little and for utilizing Ray Draper's tuba as a melody instrument; tenor saxophonist George Coleman and bassist Art Davis complete the excellent quintet. Highlights include "It's You or No One," "You Stepped out of a Dream" and Roach's unaccompanied drum piece "Conversation." This is fine music from a group that was trying to stretch themselves beyond hard bop. ~ Scott Yanow Max Roach Deeds, Not Words Songs Deeds, Not Words Review

The late vibraphonist Cal Tjader was one of the pivotal figures who fused small-group jazz (both the cool and bebop varieties) with Afro-Cuban and Latin American styles. He helped expose Latin music to larger audiences worldwide and was even a seminal influence on the young Carlos Santana. Throughout his career, Tjader never stood still; his sizable catalog encompasses swing, funk, jazz-rock fusion, and hints of pop music along with those percolating, kinetic rhythms. His 1950s recordings for the Fantasy documented his formative years but his '60s Verve stint found the man getting down to (funky) business. Though he returned to Fantasy in the `70s, it was his later tenure with Concord that established Tjader as a jazz veteran, and he remained with the label until his death. Tjader continued to surround himself with first-rate sidemen and pursued his effervescent, buoyant synthesis until the very end.
Vibraphonist Cal Tjader only recorded on the Concord label for three short years, but during that time he ...
| | Studio One Story CDs (2003) (Import) Import
Deeds, Not Words
$37.35
Studio One Story is an extremely ambitious and unusual multimedia release, devoted to documenting the history of Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One, one of the most important (perhaps the most important) reggae labels. Housed in a standard CD-sized two-disc box set, it's a combination DVD and CD, with a fat book of liner notes to boot. Certainly the component that will garner the most attention is the DVD disc, which contains no less than four hours of film footage. About three-quarters of the DVD is devoted to a film on the history of Dodd and Studio One, featuring extensive interview footage with Dodd and numerous artists he worked with, including Dennis Alcapone, Ken Boothe, Alton Ellis, Sugar Minott, engineer Sylvan Morris, studio musicians, and others. The remainder of the DVD contains more than an hour of bonus interview footage that didn't make it into the main feature film. The CD disc has 16 classic Studio One recordings, representing styles from ska and rocksteady to dub, with tracks by major artists like Ellis, Minott, the Heptones, the Skatalites, Lone Ranger, and Jackie Mittoo.
On one hand, the DVD in particular is a valuable document, especially considering that reggae is rarely given such serious and comprehensive documentary treatment. On the other hand, it's not optimum as entertainment, though it's worth slogging through for anyone seriously interested in the music's development from the 1950s through the 1980s. On the plus side, most of the figures interviewed, particularly Dodd, have a lot to say about Studio One's contribution to reggae. The scope is admirably ...
