banned from youtubeoriginal show notes from previous post on Chacata DosA tenor sax and a conga drum is what's on the menu at Joseito's Hideaway Jazz Sunday Brunch. We present some sides from sessions lead by hard blowing tenor sax jazz artists from 1954 to 1965. This mix spins some of the giants of soulful tenors who some had recorded some of their battles together in records and live dates in blowing sessions that became legend. Such as, Gene Ammons along with Sonny Stitt as well as Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Johnny Griffin who shared a group. Two of the most recorded congueros in jazz are Candido Camero & Ray Barretto who sometimes were interchangeable to the same artists, like Gene Ammons in this mix. A lot of Ray Barretto fans don't know this side of work of him and that his first real love of music was jazz. When his mom went to work at night the radio was his babysitter and it was always tuned to jazz. His inspiration was Chano Pozo who worked with Dizzy Gillespie's Orchestra bridging Afro-Cuban music with jazz. He was to do some sessions with Sabu Martinez who took Chano's place in Dizzy's band after his murder. Ray had sat in with the greats on 52nd street like Candido had done before him. Even when he got to replace Mongo Santamaria in Tito Puente's Orchestra and leading his first Charanga based groups, he was still moonlighting as a jazz session player. There are other great percussionists in this mix such as Carlos "Patato" Valdes, Tommy Lopez and the great timbalero Willie Bobo playing congas. By the mid 50's these cats were starting to get work in jazz sessions by all the labels and by the early 60's it was not uncommon to see a conga player listed among the musicians. While this set focuses strictly on tenors there were many jazz musicians that utilized congueros. Art Blakey used Sabu, Ray & Candido, who another drummer Elvin Jones hired on a number of recordings, pianists Red Garland, Billy Taylor, Wynton Kelly & Randy Weston, alto saxophonists Lou Donaldson, Cannonball Adderley & Eric Dolphy, trumpeters Art Farmer & Kenny Dorham and guitarists Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery and Grant Green. This set also has some fine organists that were changing the sound of jazz. By the late 50's the organ was starting to be crept in replacing pianists and even bass players. While some critics thought it was too domineering and should stay within the r&b field, the public were digging the blues soul jazz despite the progressive trends in modern jazz. We have Jack McDuff, Johnny Patton, and Shirley Scott with Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis with whom she did a lot of recordings with and also here with her husband Stanley Turrentine. The majority of this set is blues based or how one back cover notes described as "conga blues" we do include some latin tinged base pieces into the mix. We end the set with what inspired this mix, a king among tenors Sonny Rollins with the "thousand finger man" Candido in a blazing showpiece of interplay between two gifted musicians that is a virtuosity in performance. Well brothers & sisters, this here music plays it straight to where it counts - right to the soul.
