| | Count Basie Kansas City 5 CD Count Basie Discography of CDs
Late in his career, Basie began casually putting together small groups for the Pablo Records label, naming them in accordance with the number of participating musicians. KANSAS CITY 5 represents the first of these groups and most notably features vibraphonist Milt Jackson. From beginning to end, Jackson adds excitement and energy to the music. His fluid, expressive lines seem to float garrulously atop Basie's spare accompaniment. This is most evident on the wistful ballad "Memories of You."
Very few jazz musicians create the light and buoyant swing that Basie does. His understated pianistic style never trounces over soloists but offers them the freedom to explore new soloing vistas This is most apparent on "Jive at Five" and the relaxed and delicate "Blues for Joe Turner." On the latter, guitarist Joe Pass (known for his bebop work with the Oscar Peterson trio) plays uncharacteristically bluesy lines. However, he does so with great confidence and poise, making this sullen blues truly come to life.

One of the things that hardcore jazz collectors love to do is fantasize about all of the live recordings by major artists that have gone unreleased but may surface eventually -- performances that were taped and ended up in the private collection of an artist, promoter, club owner, manager, or soundboard person. Collectors are always hoping that a previously unreleased soundboard recording of a John Coltrane, Bud Powell, or Thelonious Monk gig will turn up somewhere, and in some cases, recordings that have gone unreleased for decades will see the light of day at some point. Take Concerts in the Sun, for example. This 2002 disc contains previously unreleased Cal Tjader performances from 1960 -- live recordings that stayed in the can for 42 years. Concerts in the Sun focuses on two different Tjader concerts, one at the Santa Monica Civic ...

Here are 3 current reviews:Kevin's Harps;This is Wholesome harp! Uncooked and real. You've heard the club sound, the soulful licks of some of the greats jump, swing and gospel tunes, but when's the last time you've heard traditions in its purest form? Imagine sittin' in on the first performances of Charlie McCoy, Jon Gindick, or Norton Buffalo you'd know they were gonna be stars. Well, if you didn't get the chance to hear these guys coming up, you don't want to miss Harpin' Jonny. You'll be able to say, "Yeah, I remember when..." Homegrown and wholesome come hear him. " Harpin' Around."Shop Record's;Harpin' Jonny is an amazing harmonica player based in Santa Cruz California with one wonderful album. The tracks feature some of the foremost musicians on the Central Coast of California, including Tiran Porter of The Doobie Brothers, Ken Kraft and Bob O'neill of The Snail Band, Larry Hosford and more.The Goodtimes;The true talent of a musician is not measured in the number of notes played, but rather the choice of notes played. Therein lies the strength of this new release by Santa Cruz stalwart Harpin; Jonny Troutner, who spends his days selling stones at Antolini Company. Instead of showing off with John Popper-like wanking. Jonny plays only what's ...
