Evergreens - Lieblingsstücke 012: Lover Man

ich mag diese Version

Geistreich, expressiv, witzig, verspielt und hochvirtuos über die Changes geflogen - Griffin at it's best, heute, nach 60 Jahren, wieder mit größerem Genuss zu hören als seine späteren wilden Bebop-Dudeleien!

... ich hab's schon gepostet ... ich würd's sofort wieder tun ....

Lover Man - Roland Kirk 1959


In a little restaurant in Amersfoort, Holland,
Roland Kirk was recorded with the Swiss trio of pianist George Gruntz in 1959 by the KRO broadcasting company
Roland Kirk ( 1936-1977)
Preferring to lead his own groups, Roland Kirk rarely performed as a sideman, though he did record with arranger Quincy Jones, Roy Haynes and had especially notable stints with Charles Mingus.
His playing was generally rooted in soul jazz or hard bop, but Kirk's knowledge of jazz history allowed him to draw on many elements of the music's history, from ragtime to swing and free jazz.
Kirk also regularly explored classical and pop music. Kirk played and collected a number of musical instruments, mainly various saxophones, clarinets and flutes.
His main instruments were a tenor saxophone and two obscure saxophones: the manzello (similar to a soprano sax) and the stritch (a straight alto sax lacking the instrument's characteristic upturned bell). Kirk modified these instruments himself to accommodate his simultaneous playing technique.
He typically appeared on stage with all three horns hanging around his neck, as well as a variety of other instruments, including flutes and whistles, and often kept a gong within reach.

Mein allerbestes 'Loverman' ist mein eigenes mit meinem Jazz-Trio Piano, Kontrabass und Schlagzeug. Aber hier kann ich es technisch nicht unterbringen. Es ist angelehnt an Carmen Mcrea's Version von 1961. Auf ihrem Album 'Loverman' hat sie Billie Holiday Klassiker aufgenommen und moderner interpretiert...ich liebe diese Sängerin. Ihre warme, klare Stimme verursacht 'Gänsehaut-Feeling' bei mir und im Alter sang sie tatsächlich Tenor ( s. Underneath the Appletree)
