Classic Ballads With Strings. Inspired by Ben Webster. Composed by Glenn Zottola. For tenor sax. Jazz, Standards. Book and CD. Published by Music Minus One. MO.MMOCD12226. Ben Webster always had a split musical personality. On uptempo tunes, the great tenor-saxophonist could sound quite intense, with growls, honks, roars and screams being a natural part of his vocabulary. Yet on ballads, he could purr romantically like a pussycat, playing with great tenderness and sensuality while making every sound count. In both cases, Ben Webster’s playing was more about the sound than about the notes. Coleman Hawkins, his idol and main influence early on, could run rings around Webster harmonically, since Hawkins knew every chord backwards and forwards. Hawkins could make dozens of notes fit while Webster could get his message across with one perfectly placed sound. He had a unique sound and style, one that was at its prime for more than 30 years. Glenn Zottola was best known in his earlier years as a hot trumpeter whose classic style ranged from Louis Armstrong to Clifford Brown. He also occasionally played alto in those days but in more recent times has often recorded on tenor. The versatile Zottola has been featured on a series of stimulating projects for Music Minus One including tributes to Clifford Brown. on trumpet. , Charlie Parker. on alto. and Stan Getz's bossa nova period. on tenor. "This series lets me pay tribute to some of the great legends who influenced who I am," says Glenn Zottola, "and it also allows me to pass down to others what was passed down to me. A little while ago, I received a Dexter Gordon mouthpiece from the instrument company RS Berkeley. I had never played a metal mouthpiece before. It is so small it is almost like playing an alto mouthpiece. I decided to do some research into other tenor-saxophonists who had played metal mouthpieces, ranging from Sonny Rollins, early John Coltrane, Dexter and Don Byas, all the way back to Coleman Hawkins. When I reached Ben Webster, it brought back memories of listening to his recordings with Duke Ellington, and I was inspired to record these ballads with his flavor. On Ben Webster Revisited, Zottola makes no attempt to imitate Webster but performs a set of ballads utilizing the great tenor's relaxed and romantic approach along with hints of his airy breathy sound. Rather than playing double-time phrases, he lets the music breathe, putting plenty of feeling into each note. Among the highlights are such songs as "Can't Help Lovin' That Man". from Jerome Kern's Showboat. , "Stardust", "Blue Moon" and "Laura. " A special treat is hearing the beautiful "Portrait of Jennie", a song that has hardly been played in jazz since Clifford Brown. This is a very romantic album, one in which Glenn Zottola captures the essence of the great Ben Webster. --Scott Yanow, author of 11 books including Swing, Bebop, Jazz on Film and Jazz on Record 1917-76.

Classic Ballads Met Strings. Geïnspireer deur Ben Webster. Saamgestel deur Glenn Zottola. Vir tenorsax. Jazz, Standaarde. Boek en CD. Gepubliseer deur Music Minus One. MO.MMOCD12226. Ben Webster het altyd 'n split musikale persoonlikheid. Op uptempo wysies, kon die groot tenoor saksofoonspeler-klink nogal intens, met grom, honk, brul en skree 'n natuurlike deel van sy woordeskat. Tog, op ballades, kon hy romanties spin soos 'n Pussycat, speel met 'n groot deernis en sensualiteit, terwyl die maak van elke klank telling. In beide gevalle, Ben Webster se spel was meer oor die klank as oor die notas. Coleman Hawkins, sy afgod en die belangrikste invloed vroeg op, kan ringe rondom Webster hardloop harmonies, aangesien Hawkins het geweet van elke koord heen en weer. Hawkins kon maak dekades van notas pas terwyl Webster kon sy boodskap oor te dra met 'n perfek geplaas klank. Hy het 'n unieke klank en styl, een wat op sy eerste vir meer as 30 jaar. Glenn Zottola is die beste bekend in sy vroeër jare as 'n warm trompetspeler se klassieke styl het gewissel van Louis Armstrong te Clifford Brown. Hy het ook soms gespeel alt in daardie dae, maar in meer onlangse tye het dikwels aangeteken op tenoor. Die veelsydige Zottola is te sien op 'n reeks van die stimulering projekte vir Musiek Minus One insluitend huldeblyke aan Clifford Brown. op basuin. , Charlie Parker. op alto. en Stan Getz se bossa nova tydperk. op tenoor. "Hierdie reeks laat my hulde te bring aan 'n paar van die groot legendes wat beïnvloed wie ek is," sê Glenn Zottola, "en dit laat my ook om te slaag af aan ander wat geslaag is af na my. 'N Rukkie gelede het ek 'n Dexter Gordon mondstuk van die instrument maatskappy RS Berkeley. Ek het nog nooit 'n metaal mondstuk gespeel voordat. Dit is so klein dit is amper soos speel 'n alt mondstuk. Ek het besluit om 'n bietjie navorsing te doen in die ander tenoor-saxofonisten wat metaal mondstukke gespeel het, wat wissel van Sonny Rollins, vroeë John Coltrane, Dexter en Don Byas, al die pad terug na Coleman Hawkins. Toe ek by Ben Webster, dit teruggebring herinneringe van luister na sy opnames met Duke Ellington, en ek is geïnspireer om hierdie ballades aan te teken met sy geur. Op Ben Webster Revisited, Zottola maak geen poging om Webster te boots, maar voer 'n stel van ballades gebruik te maak van die groot tenoor se ontspanne en romantiese benadering saam met wenke van sy ligte asemrige klank. Eerder as om te speel dubbel-time frases, hy laat die musiek asem te haal, om baie van die gevoel in elke noot. Onder die hoogtepunte is treffers soos "Kan nie help Lovin 'Dat Man". van Jerome Kern se Showboat. , "Stardust", "Blue Moon" en "Laura. "'N spesiale verrassing is die aanhoor van die pragtige" Portret van Jennie ", 'n liedjie wat skaars is in jazz gespeel sedert Clifford Brown. Dit is 'n baie romantiese album, een waarin Glenn Zottola vang die essensie van die groot Ben Webster. --Scott Yanow, skrywer van 11 boeke, insluitend Swing, Bebop, Jazz on Film en Jazz op rekord 1917-1976.
