Windy City's Finest.......2004-03-09

Clifford Jordan & John Gilmore's "Blowing In From Chicago" is a classic hard bop session by two windy city greats. This album was one of the original twelve CDs issued in the first domestic release of Blue Note's Connoisseur series, and it sold out very quickly. Luckily, it has been rescued from obscurity once again, this time in the RVG series. This session from March 1957 features the one time rhythm section of the Jazz Messengers -- Horace Silver, Curly Russell and Art Blakey - joining the two tenor saxophonists, Jordan and Gilmore. Despite the fact that these two gentlemen play the same instrument, their sounds are quite different and distinct. While Gilmore's hard sound is almost alto-like, Jordan's tone is mellower and his pitch lower. "Blowing In From Chicago" begins with the hard swinging "Status Quo" followed by "Bo-Till," which is marked by Blakey's latin-flavored opening flourishes. Gigi Gryce's "Blue Lights" is highlighted by fantastic rhythm trio interplay during Silver's piano solo, while "Billie's Bounce" is plenty bouncy thanks to Art's drumming. The album's last two tracks, "Evil Eye" and "Everywhere," are smooth, easy-going numbers, and a perfect conclusion to this fine recording. If only everything that blew in from Chicago were as enjoyable.

A lesser known "Blowing Session".......2003-02-01

It didn't happen often on BlueNote recording sessions, that two or more players of the same instrument met together in the studio. The most famous encounter maybe was Johnny Griffin together with Coltrane and Hank Mobley, an earlier thing was the two-trumpet session with Fats Navarro and Howard McGhee. In any case, these always were "friendly meetings", there was no intention to repeat the idea of "horn battles", which became famous at "Jazz at the Philharmonic". Even if this album isn't as "ferocious" as Griffin's "Blowing Session", it's nevertheless a very nice thing. I remember first owning recordings of both dates on a 2-LP set, those BlueNote LA-reissues that were widely available in the late 70's when I was still almost a kid (though recorded a month earlier than Griffin's date, it was placed second on that double-LP). First I payed more attention to Griffin, but the I "discoverded" this date. Comparing the two tenorists, I'd say it is Clifford Jordan, who dominates the session. He's got a bigger sound and composed most of the material. "Status Quo" is a beautiful tune based on "There will never be another you", "Bo-Till" has a latin-based theme, "Blue Lights"(written by Gigi Grice) and "Evil Eye" are two examples of that comfortable medium-tempo blues in f-minor, frequently used on Hard-Bop jams, and "Everywhere" is a beautiful, forgotten Horace Silver tune. I still listen to this record on occasions when I decide to listen to Griffin's "Blowing Session" (also available on RVG-Series), want to invite you to do the same.
