This is "Tin Roof Blues" an original chart written by Zack Smith. Zack is the cornetist/trumpeter with Dixie Power Trio and he generates some kickass tunes. Harmonium Brass sightread Tin Roof Blues this past Sunday. It is NOT a keeper -- it's very sloppy, especially in the accompaniment  . But I was experimenting today with the recording equipment and decided to upload my first piece to YouTube and my Facebook page. Members of Harmonium Brass are: Paul Copenhaver, piccolo trumpet Chris Farris, 2nd or "jazz" trumpet Dr. Bruce Gordon, horn Larry Bennett, tenor trombone Allen Lawless (that's me), bass trombone Whaddya think?  |

Ain't no money in it. 'Sides, I gotta arrange a solo for quintet (whittle it down from a 10-piece). The solo stays the same, but the accompaniment will change. Never enough hours in the day..... Besides, the tuba is the euph's bigger brother. And the bass trombone is the device that lays waste to entire rows of viola players.  Gotta love that!  |

Seriously, this was filmed probably in the late Fifties/early Sixties after Getz moved to Europe. The two tenor styles couldn't be more dramatic - Getz with his warm, lyrical Lester-Young sound and Trane blowing great gobs of notes out of his horn with the frantic energy that eventually killed him. I had the sense that Getz felt a little intimidated, but that's just a guess in looking at body language. The STAR of this short clip is Oscar Peterson, however. God, how I love his playing. So relaxed and effortless, but he swings his ass off. The era of the Fifties and Sixties in bop, swing, and straight-ahead jazz is incomparable. |

That passion was fueled when my brother played tenor sax. I cannot count the times we saw Airmen of Note. And another Army band, but I can't remember which one. His HS buddy had played in it, so there was an allegiance to it as well. We were not allowed to talk while listening to jazz. Dad had a reel to reel, and if we didn't pay attention to the changes, we were told to hush up, and it got rewound until we heard it in it's entirety. Many a dinner was served cold, due to our inability to pay attention. And now, my brother is the exact same with his kiddos  |

If you wanna go nuts, just look at Jaco Pastorius' playing of "Donna Lee", a Charlie Parker chart that goes by about 220 beats per minute (that's blindingly fast). Jaco was a bass player....... Not to suggest that music is all about cramming as many notes into a space as possible, here's a look at Count Basie's spare, but oh-so-effective style:  Personally, I favor swing in virtually all styles from medium/jump to bop, but there's nothing more gutsy than slow, dirty, hip-grinding blues. |
