Riverside Jazz Stars / Junior Mance: A Jazz Version Of 'kean' + The Soul Of HW.

Description: A Jazz Version Of 'kean' + The Soul Of Hollywood (2 Lps On 1 Cd) Riverside Jazz Stars / Junior Mance Featuring: Blue Mitchell, Clark Terry, Ernie Royal (tp), Jimmy Cleveland (tb), Julius Watkins (frh), Jimmy Heath, Jerome Richardson, Oliver Nelson, 'Babe' Clarke (saxes), Bobby Timmons, Junior Mance (p), Ron Carter, George Duvivier (b), Albert 'Tootie' Heath (d) REFERENCE: FSRCD 828 BAR CODE: 8427328608282 Producer Orrin Keepnews assembled the Riverside Jazz Stars to record the music from the 1961 Broadway musical Kean, a rich melodic score by Robert Wright and George Forrest. Using brass, reeds, and rhythm—three of each—this Jazz Version of Kean was arranged by Ernie Wilkins, Jimmy Heath and Melba Liston, emphasising the melodic, hard-swinging and soulful qualities of East Coast jazz. In the band, conducted by Wilkins and Liston, most of the solo space was taken by three brilliant jazzmen, trumpeter Blue Mitchell, tenor sax Jimmy Heath, and pianist Bobby Timmons, while Julius Watkins and Clark Terry are also prominent on French horn and flugelhorn respectively. The Soul of Hollywood, the second album here, is a collection of well-known movie songs and a tribute to the talents of pianist Junior Mance and arranger Melba Liston, who provided the vividly-colored orchestral settings to Mance’s earthy and forceful piano. His gentle solos reflect the melodies, but he can project a variety of moods and sustain interest, while Clark Terry plays buoyantly on The Apartment and on Green Dolphin. All in all, this is an enjoyable set for which Liston managed to extract full and diverse measures of soul and heart from the music of Hollywood. Tracklisting: 01.
