Kreilly Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm listening to the Shepp and Mobley version of "Sonny's Back" on "Yasmina, A Black Woman" and I'm trying to place this tune. I know it was recorded by the Jazztet and by Moncur on 2004's "Exploration". Was it recorded by anyone else? Maybe McLean in the 60s? It sounds so familiar.

Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Shepp has done it several times. Apparently also Big John Patton on a 1995 DIW. No evidence of a McLean. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Albert Ayler can be heard playing it (labeled as "Rollins' Tune") in 1962. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Really? Discographies have that all confused then. Jepsen says: Rollins' Tune Raben says: Rollins' Tune with a footnote that says "The tune played is 'No Moe'." Lord CDROM 5.0 says: Rollins tune [The stopper] with a footnote that says "The tune played is 'No Moe'." [guess we know where Lord stole that one] Bruyninckx CDROM says just: Rollins tune [The stopper] with a footnote that says "A piano is heard and could be played either by Albert Ayler of by a pianist occasionally present at the session recorded by Bengt Nordström." [yes, it says "of", not "or"] Soooo.....I can't access my copy of the Ayler right now, unfortunately. I know "No Moe" and I know "The Stopper" - from the Rollins Prestige records. I know "Sonny's Back" from The Jazztet - these are THREE separate tunes. So what gives? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Sorry, brain fart, just came in off the road. It's "No Moe" that Ayler plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkeith Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Shepp does it very quickly at the end of the last tune on Montreaux I as a set closer, that's where I knew it from. Listening to the Jazztet's version as I type. Man, Golson is a bad man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
