Wednesday 16 May 2007 - JazzTalk 061 - The Soul Jazz Dynamiters - The critic Tim Gorbauch wrote in the Frankfurter Rundschau: "It swirls around the Hammond B3, her bass falls head held high and soft hip by Soul landscape, the guitar zündelt with the radio, the hoarse saxophone lines. Life must have been so beautiful earlier. "The band of the Frankfurt guitarist Martin LeJeune and the Heidelberg keyboardist Jo Bartmes (hammomd B3) present with their retro-project mainly original compositions, which are based on the past and throw it a sharp look into the future. reason enough for talking jazz talk about the dance ability in jazz, is the presence of the past or just about why the Groove is so important to the music. 
born on the East Coast Shelly Manne was one of the " founding fathers "of the West Coast jazz and as a typical example of the close cooperation of jazz with the enclave Studios in Hollywood. His connection to the film and television world was already subject of this column: In issue No.30 (July / August 2002), we tried our joy if the re-release of Manne's Daktari to express and curious about this gem of the '60s . make But by the late 50s went to the then with jazzy interpretations of Broadway shows furore caring "absolute melody of jazz drummers (JEBerendt) - the 1956 album appeared in My Fair Lady (Contemporary S-7527/OJCCD-336-2 - Echo / ZYX) was the first jazz album of this kind (which is also a model for many other such recordings), and also the fastest selling jazz album this year at all - in what was relatively new territory. Contrary to the increasing use of jazz (or jazz-inspired) music in cinema films in the years before it was up to the end of 1958 (the date of first broadcast of Peter Gunn) no serious attempt to use even with television shows. Henry Mancini made this land fertile and ordered it immediately Shelly Manne: Shelly Manne & His Men Play Peter Gunn (Contemporary S-7560/OJCCD-946-2 - Echo ZYX /) and Son of Gunn! (Contemporary C-3566/bisher unfortunately no CD edition!) - Both 1959 - were called the great (and re-style-) albums. Made his debut in 1960 by the CBS national broadcast in prime time crime series Checkmate , which immediately was placed in the top 25 of most popular TV shows. 
The score of the first season was done by John (ny) Williams - who also led even the studio recordings of the orchestra (with Shelly Manne on drums). The 1932-born jazz pianist, is not to be confused with the 1929-born jazz pianist John Williams, who recorded a few albums for EmArcy. Not to be confused, he is also the guitarist John Williams and the baritone saxophonist of the same name - either with the American, who was allowed to make recordings with Louis Armstrong, or with the British, which is (much younger) still active (See the absolutely worth a listen, recording: John Williams' Baritone Band - Spot Lite SPJCD-564/UK-Import) - Let's call John (ny) so John W. Towner and point out that, besides this crime series for the music of the movie Jaws, Star Wars and Harry Potter has made recently - and forget it once again ... Because in contrast to Mancini's original contribution is for the score of Checkmate man and his men (Conte Candoli on trumpet, Richie Kamuca on tenor saxophone, Russ Freeman on piano and Chuck Berghofer on bass) more as a vehicle for improvisation, since as a palette for her usual, storytelling (though mostly quiet) onomatopoeia. For Manne'sche human relationships must almost blowing session by a talk about what such a manner is reminiscent of the epic live recording from the recall Black Hawk (Contemporary, 5 volumes on CD: OJCCD-656-2 to OJCCD-660-2 - all echo / ZYX)! "Checkmate!" It was for the series in the summer of 1962, after the second season had dramatically lost to public taste - thankfully the music survived but in 2002 again. And we with it?
