New Oscar Pettiford Sextet album Product Description

New Oscar Pettiford Sextet album by Oscar Pettiford was released Nov 30, 1999 on the Debut/OJC label. THE NEW OSCAR PETTIFORD SEXTET contains SEXTET (1953) plus bonus tracks recorded in 1949. New Oscar Pettiford Sextet songs Recorded in New York, New York on March 10, 1949 and December 29, 1953. New Oscar Pettiford Sextet album Originally released on Debut (8). New Oscar Pettiford Sextet CD music Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1999, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). One of the earliest bassists on the bebop scene in 1940s New York, Oscar Pettiford was also an unusually intrepid experimenter when it came to instrumentation. His cello playing is justly famous, and on the seven tracks that form the core of this reissue CD Pettiford includes a French horn (played by Julian Watkins) in the sextet. But most noteworthy of all is the quality of his compositions. "Pendulum at Falcon's Lair" is a piece of world-class bebop writing, while "Tamalpais Love Song" is almost classical in its structure, achieving a counterintuitive combination of complexity and simple beauty. In addition to the seven tracks from Pettiford's original 1953 session, this reissue includes four more that he recorded as sideman to saxophonist Serge Chaloff in 1949 -- the four are more strictly in the bop tradition and are, unfortunately, not recorded quite as well, but they demonstrate Pettiford's exceptional skill as an accompanist. ...See Full Description
