jazzbo Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Fer has it right. Some stereo RVG for Savoy. . . and interesting sounding too (thinking of the Coltrane Harden, and the Fuller sessions. . . man the horn sound is HUGE!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elissa Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 As I understand it, taking his cues from Papa Jo and Big Sid, Klook ushered in the modern era's more open and free approach to jazz drums by moving that right hand to the ride cymbal and uncrossing the hands. At the same time, he started adding 'bombs' or accents in among the traditional four on the base drum. These two innovations begat coordinated independence, enabling drummers to use each limb to create different or poly-rhythms. When drummers began to keep time on the ride cymbal, the bass player couldnt just continue to play the root and the fifth; the piano couldnt just play stride. They too had to use space and open chords and BeBop was born. What say thee experts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 You just summed up in concise words the importance of Klook's revolutioninzing of the rhythmic accompaniment for the whole band! Klook was as important as Bird, Diz, Bud, and Monk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Having just reviewed the track list for this set I'm surprised that they didn't include the '57 and '60 material from the Paris and Cologne studio sessions (w/Byas, Lucky Thomspon, Fats Sadi, Maurice Vandair, Roger Guerin, Martial Solal, Tony Scott & Francy Boland**) that was only issued on EPs in Europe and subsequently gathered up for the '86 Disques Swing LP. Recordings are all excellent and -- except for 'Klook's Clique' -- the material is much harder to find than the unquestionably top notch Telefunken/Bohemia/Detroit Jazzmen Savoys. A missed opportunity imo. ** his first studio encounter with Boland acording the the DS notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couw Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Because that stuff is not yet "public domain". . . . why the "quotation marks"? Either stuff is public domain, or it isn't. No need for "quotation marks" I should think. Or is the music contained not public domain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Kyo, This one has been issued on CD. I have a copy on Savoy/Denon. The spine says: The Trio / Kenny Clarke - SV-0184 The front of the booklet says: "The Jazz Trio of HANK JONES Wendell Marshall, Bass Kenny Clarke, Drums" Finally managed to track down a copy of this Savoy release. So who was the actual leader when the session was cut - Kenny Clarke or Hank Jones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
