Among the many tributes paid to Charlie Parker's memory was a tour by a sextet including musicians closely related to Bird. The leaders were the technically brilliant and enormously talented saxophonist Sonny Stitt, and trombonist J.J. Johnson, one of the fathers of bebop. Other players include Howard McGhee, Walter Bishop Jr., Tommy Potter and Kenny Clarke, who all played in Bird's quintet at various times. The two shows here were filmed in Berlin and London in 1964.
Satchmo - Louis Armstrong: Ambassador Of Jazz (Super Deluxe Box Set) $205.99 (AUD) 2011 is the 110th anniversary of his birth and the 40th of his passing. There are many people who, when they think of Louis Armstrong, think of a man who sang 'It's a Wonderful World' or 'Hello Dolly'. Their recognition of his voice is from the soundtracks to films or the backing tracks to TV commercials. What many of them probably don't know is that he was such a remarkable musician whose technical expertise, the genius of his musical imagination and his dominance of the genre, made him the model for virtually every jazz musician from the late 1920s to the outbreak of World War II - and beyond. To commemorate the life of this great man, here is 'SATCHMO' Louis Armstrong : Ambassador of Jazz. | $219.99 (AUD) | $26.99 (AUD) On The Stillest Hour, he leaves behind the big band sounds and surrounds himself with a small and highly accomplished team of musicians. They are Bill Risby on piano and keyboards, guitarist James Muller, drummer Hamish Stuart and bassplayer Jonathan Zwartz. 'To me, the ‘stillest hour’ is the romancing hour — after midnight, when it is really quiet, and when I feel the most creative.” | $26.99 (AUD) |
