Yeah he is all over the horn and fluent right through the range. he can reel off those II V I's endlessly ... and his licks are beautiful. Thanks for the post.
Red Rodney is simply a treasure. Beautiful lyricism, lovely, well-rounded ideas. Everything was so swinging and tight. He, along with Tony Fruscella were simply never given their dues. Thank you so much for the posting. And, as an aside, that pianist is amazing. Great left hand base line!
Yeah he got some chops left. He died in 1994, so he's about 66 right here and still playing at such a high caliber. He's well preserved for someone who was once a junkie; doesn't even look that old..
I give it 100 stars..His chops sound great to me, we should all have that kind of fluidity, and Be=Bop logic. He was and is one of the greats and to my thinking highly underrated.
no disrespect absolutely love it but is the reason he plays flugel in his later years because his chops can't handle the trumpet anymore. It's not uncommon to go to flugel because if played correctly it doesn't require near as much effort. Also he has the horn sounding more towards the trumpet rashness and percussiveness which is where i get my idea that this is the reason from.
I don't really agree. He sounds to have plenty of chops left. Also, you can get quite a few trumpets with a similar feel of a flugel. I don't think that you could play a flugel and sound that good without having a good set, but yea! To each his own opinion : P Great stuff!
Thanks for putting this up! I've always dug Red since I first heard him on record playing with Bird and later with his own quintet. A fantastic underrated player who held his own with any of the boppers and who had some of the coolest and most innovative licks.
That's Garry Dial on piano. Garry did several albums with Red and wrote many of the tunes he recorded with his different groups (e.g. with Ira Sullivan, Dick Oatts, etc.) in the '80s and early '90s.
He was great, I compare him to Chet Baker, these musicians had so much personal problems but their playing was never affected. One in a lifetime. Mr. Red Rodney, may he rest in peace...
One of the greatest beboppers of all time. Parker saw his potential, but drugs and the color of Red's skin held him back. CHUDNICK Lives!

He could still play anything, trumpet, flugel, cornet, and at an extremely high level. He did get some dental implants which helped him a bit. JG

He hardly never stops playing and yet it sounds so spaced and well phrased. amazing.
