Montreux '77

構成数 : 1枚
合計収録時間 : 00:00:00
Personnel: Count Basie (piano); Benny Carter (alto saxophone); Zoot Sims (tenor saxophone); Roy Eldridge (trumpet); Vic Dickenson, Al Grey (trombone); Ray Brown (bass); Jimmie Smith (drums). Recorded live in Montreux, Switzerland on July 14, 1977. Originally released on Pablo Live (2308-209). Includes original release liner notes by Norman Granz. Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1987, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). From Norman Granz's marathon series of performances recorded at the 1977 Montreux Jazz Festival, this set finds Count Basie fronting a jam session featuring trumpeter Roy Eldridge, altoist Benny Carter, Zoot Sims on tenor and the trombones of Vic Dickenson and Al Grey. Despite the possibility of being overcrowded, a bit of planning by Basie made this into a very coherent set with a blues, a long ballad medley and the closing "Jumpin' at the Woodside." Lots of nice moments. ~ Scott Yanow
