Wolfgang Lackerschmid & Chet Baker - Welcome Back

Later Chet is an unknown territory for me, apart from 'Peace', so I was very pleased to find he'd recorded with Lackerschmid who I've enjoyed elsewhere. This is a lovely album

Jack Teagarden “Think Well of Me” Verve Elite cd

 

 

This music again, this time on cd. In this case they are both great. The LP is a bit more “laid back” and atmospheric. This cd is focused and more room-filling with detailed strings and harp and the sound of Jack’s trombone (how I love that sound!) is big and dynamic. Don Goldie’s trumpet is also brilliant and full. (Man that guy can play). I’m glad I have both formats. One day maybe I’ll grab a mono LP.

It´s a very good album but the best stuff was still to come. My favourite albums of him are from 1965-1967, his most creative period. If I should choose only two of them it might be "All Seeing Eye" and "Schizophrenia". 
The next Shorter I have is only from my favourite group "VSOP" . 
I saw him live in 2005 but it was a more subtile music, it didn´t have that power that I love. 

When I started listening jazz I had trouble connecting to his sound. But a few years ago there it was and I love his whole Blue Note output. All Seeing Eye and Etcetera are my favorites but I learned to love them all. 
 

I had a similar experience with Jackie McLeans music. Evidence that it’s good to revisit those artists you don’t really dig.

So true.  What made no impact yesterday might hit you upside the head today.

And that's a nice feeling.  "Hey, I get it now!"

Even about Chet Baker I heard for the first time in 1978 when there was an article about him in Jazz Podium. But needless I became a fan of Chet, as soon as I heard him first, but it was another Chet Baker than the one who got famous in the 50´s .

Well I prefer his earlier recordings  in the Mulligan 4tet and was glad to find these 2 comps

which were issued in Japan only.

Well I think the Sound of Shorter is a bit strange compared to other great tenorists, but I think I was made for the sounds that didn´t appeal to everybody, I mean Jackie McLean......as soon as I heard him I was "hooked" . It must have to do with the times I lived in and the jazz community I was surrounded by ......and my own personality which can be a bit difficult at sometimes. 

I practically started with Mingus-Dolphy collaboration, Dolphy was my first hero on alto and I think this has much to do with my preference of saxophone sound  and approach of the notes......
