Remembering Lester Young (August 27, 1909 – March 15, 1959).

Lester Young Quartet – Slow Motion Blues

Slow Motion Blues is a jazz track recorded by the Lester Young Quartet on March 8, 1951, in New York City. The piece showcases Lester Young’s signature “cool” tenor saxophone style, characterized by a light, airy tone and melodic phrasing that served as a bridge between the swing era and bebop.

The track is a staple of Young’s later career recordings produced by Norman Granz. It is often paired with “Lester Swings,” which was recorded during the same session.

Recording Details
Recording Date: March 8, 1951.
Location: New York City, NY.
Original Label: Released on Norgran Records (Norgran-138) and later featured on Verve Records compilations.

Personnel:
Lester Young – tenor Saxophone
John Lewis – piano
Gene Ramey – bass
Jo Jones – drums.

Jamie Saft Trio - Living The Blues

My greatest influence has been the blues. And that’s a literary influence, because I think the blues is the best literature that we as black Americans have. My interest in Baraka comes from the sixties and the Black Power movement. So it’s more for Baraka’s political ideas, which I loved and still am an exponent of. Through all those years I was a follower, if you will, of Baraka. He had an influence on my thinking.

“You can’t write plays without knowing the craft of playwriting. Once you have your tools, then you still gotta create out of that thing, that impulse.”

In fact, my central image is a rabbit in a briar patch, which explains everything I have written. You’re in a jam session situation where you are improvising all the time, at the same time you can improvise better if you have a rich background. I want my knowledge to sing and swing, to evoke, to put you there. Music makes what you want to move. I want my novels to make you want to walk that way, want to be that way, want to react to experiences in that way. That’s a legitimate aesthetic objective. Art is a process through which raw experience is rendered into aesthetic statement.

Big Mama Thornton - Hound Dog (Peacock Records, 1952)

And here it is, the song that brought the age of rock and roll. Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, this was Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton’s only hit record, selling more than 500,000 copies and spending fourteen weeks on the R&B charts, half of those weeks at number one. In her lifetime she received one $500 check in royalties.

The most famous recording of “Hound Dog” is of course the one by Elvis Presley in 1956, which is a cover of a cover: the sanitized version done by Freddie Bell and the Bellboys, who took a song about a woman getting a terrible lover out of her life for good and turned it into a song about a literal dog. Elvis’ version became “an emblem of the rock ‘n’ roll revolution” and the rest is history.

Muzyczne wieczory z tatą to zazwyczaj klasyka jazzu i bluesa, Charlie Parker, Miles Davies, Lester Young, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, czy Nat King Cole, ale dziś zachęcamy Was do posłuchania nietypowej odsłony Herbie Manna, bardziej psychodelicznej i ambientowej, czyli płyty “Stone Flute” (1970)
