Description: | Vinyl Neuauflage des 1980 Albums von Swing Pianist Teddy Wilson
Neben seinem Ruf als "DER Swing-Pianist" ist Teddy Wilson oft in Erinnerung, wenn es um seine
Kollaborationen geht. Wilsons Fingerabdrücke, die auf Schallplatten von Namen wie Louis Armstrong,
Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald und Benny Goodman gespielt wurden, finden sich auf vielen Platten, die zur
Popularisierung und Definition des Swing in seinen glorreichen Jahren beitrugen. 1980 nahm Wilson die
Songs wieder auf, die er in den 1930er Jahren mit Benny Goodman aufgeführt hatte, und lieferte Material,
das er zu diesem Zeitpunkt eindeutig beherrschte und das einen besonderen Einblick in die Talente und
Gefühle von Teddy Wilson gab, die in der Swing-�ra eine primäre Rolle spielten. Teddy Wilson Trio
Revisits the Goodman Years sieht Teddy Wilson das Benny-Goodman-Repertoire für Kleingruppen, das
Wilson viele Jahrzehnte vor dieser Kopenhagener Sitzung 1980 mit Goodman gespielt hatte, neu
interpretieren. Es ist eine Rückkehr zu Material, das sich bewährt hatte, während Wilson seit seiner Zeit
bei Goodman selbst eine lange Karriere gemacht hatte. - .. YEARSBesides his reputation as "the definitive swing pianist", Teddy Wilson is often remembered in terms of his collaborations. Having played on the records of names like Louis Armstrong, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald and Benny Goodman, Wilson's fingerprints are found on many of records that helped popularize and define swing in it's glory years. In 1980, Wilson revisited the songs he had performed with Benny Goodman in the 1930s, delivering material that he had clearly mastered at this point and which gave a special look into the talents and sentiments of Teddy Wilson that played a primary role in the swing era. Teddy Wilson Trio Revisits the Goodman Years sees Teddy Wilson re-portray the Benny Goodman small-group repertoire that Wilson had played with Goodman many decades before this Copenhagen session in 1980. It is a return to material that had stood the test of time while Wilson had lived a long career since his time with Goodman himself. Of the many collaborators that Wilson enjoyed in his career, Goodman in particular developed a strong, long-lived musical relationship with Teddy Wilson, incorporating the aspects and strengths of Wilson's playing that are particularly apparent on this record. Relaxed and elegant, Wilsons mastery of the piano sounds as graceful as ever while maintaining a sense of intensity that comes through with renewed clarity in the present line-up. Wilson has not reinvented himself in returning to these songs, but his talent and infectious and exciting playing make it hard to argue that he should. |
