They are the only two albums she recordedfor Jazz-West, a small, label based in Hollywood. Included as a bonus are two songs she performed on the Starsof Jazz TV show in 1957. Bonus track - (*).

Simmons combined earthy new tunes and old spirituals, and Griffin, asthe main soloist, plays with his customary swaggering groove and all-encompassing fervour. The second album,‘White Gardenia’, is Griffin’s tribute to Billie Holiday. Reflecting the melancholy side of Lady Day’s repertoire,the arrangements by Melba Liston and Simmons are appropriately dark-hued and brooding. Nevertheless, theblending of a warm toned string section (cellos and violas) with the horns provides a setting that allows Griffinto reveal a more relaxed and pensive aspect of a musical personality.

Buddy Rich is at the helm of this happy,driving small group in two sessions from 1960 and 1961 - one of them remained unreleased for many years - that feature the stirring playing ofmulti-reedman Sam Most and Rich’s young discovery, the astonishing vibraphonist Mike Mainieri. Both Mostand Mainieri (who also did most of the group’s writing) are abundantly inventive soloists, while the buoyantlyeffective rhythm section is a Rich archetype. As a bonus, this set includes tracks from rare radio broadcastsaired in October 1961, during one of the band’s appearances at Birdland.

Of all the tenorsaxophonists who have come roaring out of Lionel Hampton’s band, Texas tenor Arnett Cobb always seemedthe most likely to allow his essentially rich and swinging style to stand on its own merits. He demonstrated it inthese relaxed, unpretentious sessions amid congenial, inventive company, including some of the most accomplishedand soulful pianists around, with Ray Bryant, Tommy Flanagan, and Bobby Timmons providing somelean and lithely moving solos on these implacably swinging dates. The setting allowed one of the most assertiveof the roistering tenorists to work his way into piece after piece, developing gracefully structured lines in hisrough, tweedy tone. Forceful, virile and uncomplicated, an assertive reflection of its time and place, the musicretains the capacity to reach directly into the emotions, unhindered by the passage of time.[Item Code: 73912 2-CD: $26.00]12 worldsrecords.com (800) 742-6663 Fall Supplement 2012 12
