Peterson Eldridge 1961 Blues in Bb 17-06-06.mov

"Soft Winds" could easily get boring, but Ray Brown kept my interest here. Oscar was too busy during the guitar solo. and Roy, as wonderful as always, didn't have anything new to sayl Still, I wish my band, or any other current local band could play close to the level of these masters.

I can't believe that's Oscar Peterson - he's killing off the guitar :(

Roy was the master of the "understated". I would encourage any beginning trumpet student to buy a Harmon Mute and study this YouTube. Harmon Mutes will give any young play the sound that swings.

Intermidate students should note that less notes is better. Roy is "the gold standard" for sparse notes and yet totally swinging.

The Great!!! Roy Eldridge grande!!

[BeBopElmo]

Real jazz. Hot, swinging, and lyrical. Beautiful track. I think the head has a title, something like "Soft Winds." But it is a tune. Thanks for the joy.

You got it. Soft Winds, indeed. It's from the Goodman sextet book. Nominally a 16 bar blues head followed by standard 12 bar solos.

Is it just me or does it sound just like Freddie Freeloader? Did Miles rip it off? I'm not trying to be an instigator, I'm just curious.

[28handcraft]

Very good! Freddie Freeloader is a sort of minimalistic version of this melody, I suppose. However, since they are both pretty simple blues tunes, I doubt anybody is ripping anyone else off... If you want a blues rip off, compare Don Redman's "Hot and Anxious" to Glenn Miller's "In The Mood" (there is even a bit of a rip-off in the title!).

Is that realyly a blues in Bb? i dont know any fingerings he was playing fit into the Bb minor chord

[skweenison1]

haha what??

[TommyTittlemouse1]

Great Stuff!

Very rare. Peterson's trio in 1961 was with Brown and Thigpen, Herb Ellis left the trio in 1958. This is one of the greatest rhythm sections in history

[iellis3]

Excellent! I have added to my favourites.

A great recording. Eldridge might have, too often, sounded like a large square peg pushing through a small round hole but when he played music, like he did here, you can see why he was one of the greatest trumpeters of the century. Maybe everyone was so on because Mr. Peterson was there. A really great recording, thanks jazzbobob (any relation to Jazzbo Collins ?).
