BEST OF JAZZ DRUMS - The Little Rhumba - SHELLY MANNE (cover)

[johnqdarwin]

jazz muso's play like that because they are all to drunk or way to stoned to remember the tune.

I don't understand when people comment on Jazz videos with responses such as "This sounds like they're making it up as they go". What's wrong with that? I believe that is far more impressive than something that is rehearsed note to note. Improvisation to me seems to be an almost pure representation of the musician's soul in that very moment. To each their own I suppose but it's a shame when people lack to acknowledge talented musicianship.

Go, internet, go!

Hello, is this recorded from Vinyl ?

[LuisSzar]

@lionbeograd Actually no. It's a CD. Thanks

[mmlight]

This is from one of Shelly's Three Polls records. They are all great. Think there are 4 of them out.

[LuisSzar]

Thanks for your comment.

The album is named " POLL WINNERS THREE" recorded in Los Angeles, November 2, 1959 - digital remastering in 1991. And...they are all great, indeed.

[eluxoso]

Thanks for posting this. I need to get some of these Poll winners albums. By the way Digital remastering is one of the worst things that happen to a recording. Sometimes it's well done but most of the time the original dynamic is lost as sound engineers can't help compressing the sound to fit with the current highly compressed style of modern recordings. Check it by yourself.

Thanks for the comment

There are actually 5 of them...the first four were all recorded one after the other, 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960, and then they recorded another in the 70's. Those are the records that defined how to play just guitar with a rhythm section of just bass and drums. I don't think anyone has surpassed them still, to this day.

[LuisSzar]

Thanks for the comment.

Yes, I own all of them. JVC japan reissued them as a limited edition run. The real question is why Concord Records who owns the Contemporary Records catalog has not reissued them in a packaged/remastered set. Seems the jazz market is not what it was in the 90's when CD sales were booming. :(
