Woody Shaw/1980’s Live Collection & more

All of Woody Shaw’s three exciting performances from his most productive period in the early to mid-1980s, when he was most in the spotlight, including a rare live performance with Shaw’s 21-year-old Nathan Davis Quintet as a bonus. Titles recorded with the highest quality sound have appeared! ! The best high-quality sound of the Shaw Quintet’s live performance at the Moore Theater in Seattle on April 5, 1982, when the drummer changed from Lewis to Tony Reedus, using the master tape recorded by the band and carefully mastered by the label. The sound source recorded in stereo sound includes tenor Nathan Davis, Shaw, and Larry Young, who is said to be the Coltrane of the organ, performing for 17 minutes in Villingen-Tonhalle, Germany in 1965 when Shaw was 21 years old. Disc 1 includes a bonus recording of a live performance by Davis Quintet (piano), drummer Billy Brooks, and bassist Davis Quintet, whose musicians cannot be identified, on a super high-quality stereo soundboard that has been carefully mastered by the label. , the Shaw/Farrell double-headed quintet, consisting of Joe Farrell (tenor/soprano/flute), Gene Adler (piano), Neil Swainson (bass), and Lonnie Baresi (drums), performed in Europe on March 3, 1985 in Italy. You can fully enjoy the overwhelming performance from the heyday of the show on Disc 2, a 2-disc set that recorded the live performance at the jazz festival on the highest quality stereo soundboard that has been carefully mastered by the label. Angry titles have arrived! ! The regular quintet for the 1982 show was Touré, who was said to be the best trombonist after J.J. Johnson’s death, having played in Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and Roland Kirk’s band, and played a neat, elegant, heartwarming trombone unique to him. Bluesy and funky that makes use of the tones, improvisations that have reached the level of masterful craftsmanship with exquisite leeway, even in the band of Blakey and Tony Williams, who passed away at the young age of 57. The piano has a deep expressive power that inherits the African American nuances of Miller, the giant who played a huge role and built modern American jazz, and has the intelligence to respond flexibly to the complexities of modern jazz, and Stafford and Reedus are a perfect match. You can listen to the impregnable rhythm section and the overwhelming performance that clearly shows that this quintet had reached a very high level at the time. His quintet with Farrell in 1985 featured a perfect high-speed phrase reminiscent of Farrell’s Coltrane, with overwhelming blows by the tenor and soprano, and a romantic flute with solid technique, showing part of the Three Crows of the same generation as Liebman and Grossman. His amazing play is something to listen to. Performances by the talented Adler, Swainson, and Barege’s new talent also shine. Nathan’s quintet in 1965, whose dignified playing by the 21-year-old Shaw foreshadows his later success, is still in full mode even when listening to it now, with Young’s piano giving you a new feeling like Herbie, and Nathan’s innovative playing. The new mainstream performance is irresistibly cool! As for the main show, the performance is as fast as a violent storm, the melancholy of the ballad brings free fluctuations to the melody, and the lyrics are eloquent, vividly depicting the contrast between delicacy and inner emotion… Disc – 1 Live at Moore Theater,Seattle,WA August.05.1982 (First Set) EX-AUD 2020 Original Remaster 54min 1.
