what i m normally into e g bit less on the soul side a rather forgotten billy taylor big band side on capitol that i spotted recently at a local record show taylor has a rather nice appealing swinging touch on the piano and there s some killer arrangements by the great oliver nelson which keeps the side bouncing material is however a bit less interesting and a bit too commercial in a mid 1960s

nyc from the musical production the roar of the greasepaint the smell of the crowd words and music by leslie bricusse and anthony newley engineer tommy nola album production and supervision esmond edwards cover design michael reid design released may 1 1965 my dual jazz vinyl collecting and blogging hobbies have taken me in many directions many fruitful some less so but in the end i keep coming back to the argo cadet label and ahmad jamal on the eve of a major blog milestone two hundred posts i ve decided to go back to the beginning to the very roots of this blog s rationale and mission with three 1965 jamal sides from my archives i ve always felt that 1965 is a key year in the jamal discography unfortunately jamal s recordings from this year roar of the greasepaint recorded 02 65 extensions recorded 5 65 and rhapsody recorded 12 65 have all remained officially unreleased on cd i gather the unavailability of these sides are for a myriad of reasons perhaps licensing legal issues jamal s chess argo recordings were eventually absorbed into the mca universal music corporate family which jamal didn t appreciate leading to a lawsuit commercial considerations each of these recordings weren t great sellers at the time and without critical support have been mostly lost to time and also perhaps due to jamal himself he s hypercritical of his own work and dislikes much of his later post 1962 classic trio output nevertheless i think there s a strong case for a reconsideration of these recordings on a personal note documenting these lost jamal sides actually first inspired me to get into blogging nearly five years ago when i was frustrated that i couldn t get to listen to them the following three sides are my personal favorites in the jamal discography because they represent distinct jamal approaches to deconstructing familiar jazz forms and genres the roar of the greasepaint reinterprets the typically staid jazz standards form by tackling a silly broadway musical tin pan alley extensions represents his attempt play out and take account of the new thing free jazz currents of the mid sixties rhapsody courtesy of joe kennedy s great arrangements revitalizes the tired and cheesy jazz with strings genre and somehow makes it compelling in the end these are very much jamal sides but i appreciate the experimentation beyond the classic piano trio
