Muse has released at least six albums of material recorded at Sandy's Jazz Revival in Massachusetts during a week in 1978. This is veteran tenor Buddy Tate's most rewarding album from the engagement and a fine all-around showcase. Accompanied by pianist Ray Bryant, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Alan Dawson, Tate stretches out on four familiar standards and shows listeners that he really had one of the more distinctive tenor sounds of the swing era.

ReplyDeleteYou have made my weekend KC thank you so much for Buddy Tate.
KC - Thank you so much for this Sandy's series!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this, le Roi. It and Wings Over Jordan will be the soundtrack for this muggy Sunday afternoon and make it so much more pleasant. This Sandy's series makes me homesick for my native state and wistfully regret that I never ventured to the North Shore to check out Sandy's. Instead we'd head to the Jazz Workshop and Paul's Mall in Boston for our jazz and blues needs. They were both fine venues and often permitted one to sit through multiple sets but I now wish we had been willing to brave the congested Massachusetts shoreline traffic to drive a few more miles north to Sandy's. I'm grateful that you're enabling me to travel back in time and belatedly enjoy some of the best at Sandy's. Thanks, too, to Grumpy and all of the other contributors for proving a thoroughly enjoyable experience as I attempt to catch up on this blog's postings. I've drifted away a bit from listening to jazz in the past year but, after Ornette Coleman's passing, began listening to his music again and have felt the need to listen to so much more this Summer. This blog and Bolden's have allowed me to listen to much more than my small jazz collection and limited budget, and the local library's small collection of the usual standards would otherwise permit, so I thank you all again for the time and effort expended in providing so much great music for our ears and feet to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this. Buddy has been a favorite all my life. Love this series. How about Buddy Tate and Jay McShann Crazy Legs and Friday Strut?

Thanks for this KingCake, just love Buddy Tate.
ReplyDeleteI have really been enjoying Ray Bryant's contributions to these records. I have the feeling that he was most comfortable in a context like this.
ReplyDeleteI agree Pres...you could easily make a case that the superlative rhythm section is the star of the shows - each horn man has his moments (Buddy Tate in particular is flawless), but the rhythm section sparkles on EVERY tune. I don't recall anything else where you get to here Alan Dawson solo like this and Duvivier is always the human metronome. Bryant is freed to sparkle as he wishes over their bedrock.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for sharing this series. And that means a lot of music!
ReplyDeleteGood point, KC! I agree.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, I'm really enjoying these sessions from Sandy's.
