Charlie Rouse: Cinnamon Flower: The Expanded Version
by Angelo Leonardi
Il decennale sodalizio con Thelonious Monk ha dato ampia notorietà a Charlie Rouse ma ne ha anche oscurato l'immagine e le potenzialità che aveva espresso negli anni cinquanta (quando suonò nelle orchestre di Duke Ellington e Count Basie, si unì al quintetto di Bennie Green e fondò con Julius Watkins i Jazz Modes).

Dear Friends: Recently, I taped my next one-hour show for the “Jazz From the Archives" series. Presented by the Institute of Jazz Studies, the series runs every Sunday on WBGO-FM (88.3). Albert Dailey (1938-1984) is often overlooked nowadays when great jazz pianists are discussed, but during his lifetime he was hugely respected by his peers. A partial list of his employers bears this out: Art Blakey, Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, Woody Herman, Freddie Hubbard, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, and Sonny Rollins. ...
