Review: Of the few records that trumpeter Carmell Jones led throughout his career, his first date was by far his best known and generally his most satisfying. Teamed in Los Angeles with tenorist Harold Land, pianist Frank Strazzeri, bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Leon Pettis, Jones is featured on music that is essentially cool-toned hard bop. In addition to a ouple of

Jones´ originals, there is an obscurity by bassist Jimmy Bond and three other tunes, including an 11-minute investigation of Duke Ellington's 'I'm Gonna Go Fishing'. Jones' Clifford Brown-influenced style blends well with Land, and the music swings throughout in fine fashion. This album was reissued by the British Charly label on their Affinity subsidiary in 1984.

From the front-cover: Amidst the well-meaning press-agentry of overstated virtues there occasionally emerges a new jazz musician worthy of the words whose playing clearly demonstrates an immediately recognizable natural talent endowed with great warmth together with a highly developed sensitivity and skill / it is our judgement that the young trumpet player presented here is so endowed / you are invited to hear the remarkable Carmell Jones / also featuring Harold Land with Frank Strazzeri, Gary Peacock and Leon Pettis.

Review: Hard bopper Carmell Jones is in fine form on this 1965 outing, Together with tenorist Jimmy Heath, pianist Barry Harris, bassist George Tucker, and Roger Humphries on drums, Jones confidently tackles a half-dozen tunes. From the piano/bass riff at the beginning of 'Jay Hawk Talk' to the  Parker-esque kickoff of 'Beepdurple', the band holds a steady, driving groove. Both of the

click image to enlarge

instrumentals, plus 'Dance of the Night Child', were written by Jones and stand comfortably beside the other selections on this album. Tucker kicks off a particularly affecting version of 'Willow Weep for Me', with a simple descending bass run. Jones enters with a full and rich tone for a beautiful, extended solo, and is followed by Harris, who emphasizes the bluesy, late-night feel of the piece. The band turns in a 9-minute version of Porter's 'What Is This Thing Called Love?' that pulls out all the stops, and gives Heath plenty of room to show that he can fly as high and play as fast as Charlie Parker himself. Throughout the album, Tucker's bass work adds greatly to the overall texture; Tucker and Humphries together provide a steady pulse with lots of charged rhythm to keep the whole project stimulating. Jay Hawk Talk will remind everyone of Jones' distinctive voice. Like Johnny Griffin, Jones moved to Europe in the '60s, greatly lowering his profile in the United States. This re-release of an old classic should help to familiarize everyone once again with a great trumpeter.

These newly remastered LA recordings from 1961-63 document Carmell’s dates as a leader and prominent sideman for Pacific Jazz. The material was originally recorded for his LPs 'The Remarkable Carmell Jones' and 'Business Meetin’. In addition, you’ll find his work alongside trombonist Lawrence 'Tricky' Lofton for Lofton’s 'Brass Bag' LP, and with frequent collaborator Harold Land on Land’s Imperial LP 'Jazz Impressions of Folk Music', which is a terrific surprise if it’s unfamiliar to you. Rounding out the package is a completely unreleased session from pianist Frank Strazzeri, one of Carmell’s best friends and his pianist of choice.

Reviews: Like an arching skyrocket that brightens the night with light and color, drawing in voluntary "oohs" and "ahs" from onlookers, but fades much too quickly, leaving only puffs and streaks where the magic had been, the Mitchell-Land Quintet streaked through 1961- 62 and disappeared. Too few traces of its fire and intensity remain today, and the re-release of this awesome album is cause for much rejoicing. At the time, John Tynan in Downbeat called the quintet "the most stimulating and creatively alive jazz group resident on the West Coast ... the happiest jazz news to sing out on the coast in years."

Leonard Feather, in the original liner  notes, bemoans the difficulty West Coast groups had in getting and staying together, given the concentration of principal jazz clubs, record companies, booking agencies' headquarters and influential Jazz critics on the East Coast. Further, he ponders whether, had Blakey, Silver and Adderley been in California, and Mitchell, Land and Co. been in New York during the prior half-decade, jazz history might have been differently written. Listen to this CD and I think you'll understand the issue he was raising. This is a remarkably taut, muscular group in which the whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts. Mitchell, a veteran of the Charlie Ventura and Woody Herman aggregations and the Red Norvo Trio, and Land, of the legendary Clifford Brown, Max Roach and Curtis Counce groups, formed its nidus. They were close as brothers, personally, socially, musically, conceptually, and they surrounded themselves with musicians who were equally simpatico. C. Jones had come to the coast just to work with Land. A native of Kansas City, he´d been influenced by Clifford Brown and was drawn to Land for that reason. Strazzeri had worked with Mitchell; a product of the Eastman School (through New Orleans and Las Vegas), he named Teddy Wilson and Bud Powell as influences, Al Haig and Hank Jones as preferences. Like Land, Leon Petties had lived in San Diego, and since moving to LA, had gigged with Buddy Collette and worked some with Shorty Rogers. One innovation you may find interesting is hearing the bass, either arco or pizzicato, played as a third voice in the group. Likewise, the bass doubling with the tenor sax in its lower register provides a dark-hued color that I find appealing.   Feather described the group's sound as "jubilant, sinewy, cohesive", and those descriptors strike about the right chord with me. To whatever one likens it, or however one characterizes it, the sound for its time was cutting-edge, and it maintains that freshness and ebullience today.          52ndstreet.com

Tenorman Harold Land and bassist Red Mitchell lead an impressive quintet on their 1961 recording, Hear Ye!!!! Hear Ye!!!! Hear Ye!!!! (Koch). Both came to the fore of the jazz world after 1950: Land with Roach and Clifford Brown; Mitchell with Red Norvo and as a West Coast freelancer. Both men evolved throughout their careers into the 1980s. Mitchell’s 1982 work with Hank Jones and saxman Bill Evans, Evidence (Enja), is one of his best recordings and still sounds fresh and challenging today. One of the finest bass technicians of his generation, he’s able to play in the front line during the statements of rather complex themes. He demonstrates not only his chops, but also a fertile imagination during his solos. Land plays a lot of notes here, as he did with Brown and Roach, but his tone is prettier and more refined, and his articulation is cleaner. He’s in command of himself and his horn, making very intelligent note choices. In a few years he’d incorporate ideas from John Coltrane into his work, but he never played better than he does here. Trumpeter Carmell Jones appears in the quintet, turning in inspired, Brown-influenced solos. Pianist Frank Strazzeri contributes hard swinging, meaty spots.

Original soundtrack to Bruce Brown’s 1960 surfing documentary. Music composed and performed by Bud Shank.

Story is, Bruce had $100 for a soundtrack and went down to Pacific Jazz recording studios on Santa Monica. When the guys (Roy Harte, co-owner, Bud Shank, Bob Cooper, Carmell Jones and others) heard the proposal, they said "great!". Bruce bought a couple of gallons of cheap red wine, projected the movie thru the mail slot in the door and the musicians jammed, cutting the soundtrack.
