Basie All Stars: Live at Fabrik, Vol 1

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Unwell in 1981 after a European tour the year before, Count Basie decided to sit out a series of booked engagements abroad. Instead, he dispatched nine members of his band to fulfill the obligations. They called themselves the Basie All Stars. Mind you, I'm not a big fan of leaderless pocket bands, which never stack up to the real deal. But in this case, the nonet works, largely due to the inclusion of Nat Pierce on piano and tough tenor ...

Jazz West: Lighthouse All-Stars

JazzWax by Marc Myers
To fully understand the romance of West Coast jazz of the early 1950s, you have to walk the beaches of Hermosa, Huntington, Leguna and Redondo in California. I did that in the 1980s with a Walkman. As I walked the sand in tan Converse sneakers, I listened to home-made cassettes of Shorty Rogers, Shelly Manne, Stan Kenton and Johnny Richards, among others. Only then did I realize how much Pacific Ocean in the music along with the air, the salty ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Don Redman today is a forgotten giant of the swing era. A saxophonist and percussionist who played with Fletcher Henderson's band and McKinney's Cotton Pickers in the 1920s, Redman's true genius rested in his sophisticated big-band arrangements, starting in the late 1920s. By the early 1930s, he was writing complex dance charts years before the music press began calling the music “swing." Listening to his arrangements from that period today, it's easy to hear how muscular, complex bands of the ...
