Исполнитель: John HandyНазвание альбома: In The Vernacular/No Coast Jazz Год выпуска: 2011, Fresh Sound Records Формат файлов: Mp3, 320 Размер архива: 185 Mb Скачать с: rusfolder The two albums on this CD were the first John Handy recorded as a leader. This young alto saxophonist – he also plays tenor on the first album -from Texas had gained exposure and experience working with Charles Mingus and Randy Weston in 1959. “They taught me self-confidence,” he said, and these recordings are full of it.
His flawlessly controlled playing is strong and inventively contemporary without succumbing to the tyranny of Bird. For his well-received leader debut, “In the Vernacular,” he shared the front line with the brilliant trumpeter Richard Williams supported by a near-perfect rhythm section with pianist Roland Hanna.
On the second album, “No Coast Jazz,” Handy is the consistent focal point of a quartet in which, like pianist Don Friedman, he uses a melodic, gentle style, building a singing, emotional quality saved from sentimentality by the cutting edge of his tone - at times he even recalls a more temperate Ornette Coleman as he slashes his way through piercingly angular passages.
Both albums stand as markers of a great, singular and stimulating jazz talent. http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/
