Buck Clayton - The Chronological Classics: 1953
The third installment in the Classics Buck Clayton chronology documents the trumpeter's European adventures with recordings made between April 2 and October 21, 1953. Clayton had toured Europe in 1949, and after savoring the social atmosphere in the U.S. was happy to head back to France in February 1953 with drummer Kansas Fields, pianist Red Richards, and trombonist Big Chief Russell Moore, a Native American whose Pima heritage places his ancestral turf within the Gila and Salt River valleys in southern Arizona. In addition to playing live gigs with Mezz Mezzrow, the North Americans made phonograph records. On April 2, the Buck Clayton Quintet cut five sides for the Vogue label; "Patricia's Blues" is a particularly attractive example of Clayton at his most subtle, sensual, and soulful. A concert performance by this band led by Mezzrow with Gene Sedric in the front line took place at the Theatre de Champs-Elysee near the end of May. The recordings made at that event have been reissued under Mezzrow's name. Buck Clayton and Kansas Fields participated in four different recording sessions in Brussels, Belgium, between August and October, 1953. These would be the only records ever released under the name of Marion Joseph "Taps" Miller, a trumpeter and rowdy vocalist who became marginally famous for a minute when Count Basie named a tune after him in 1944. The heavy-handed Belgian musicians who participated in these sessions made enough noise to match Miller's extremely boisterous vocals. "Hot Dog," with its repeated demands for mustard and pickles, epitomizes Miller's approach to entertainment. Fortunately, tracks 16-23 find Clayton sitting in with a big band led by Django Reinhardt session man Alix Combelle, an intelligent, hip, and sophisticated tenor saxophonist whose complete chronological recordings occupy their own niche in the Classics Chronological series.

Buck Clayton - The Chronological Classics: 1953, Vol. 2
This fourth volume in the Classics Buck Clayton chronology is mainly devoted to the excellent music he recorded in Paris during the first two weeks of November 1953. Much different from the old-fashioned jazz he blew with Mezz Mezzrow during the same tour, this material represents a fresh, modern approach to the traditions Clayton had helped to establish with (and without) Count Basie during the 1930s and '40s. Tracks one through five showcase informal jam bands co-led by Clayton and drummer Gerard Pochonet. There are several fine soloists featured here, including electrically amplified guitarist Jean-Pierre Sasson, clarinetist and baritone saxophonist Michel de Villers, trombonist Benny Vasseur, and pianist Andre Persiani. That's a short list -- these pleasantly loose blowing sessions involved some of the top jazz musicians available in Paris at that time. Back in New York and recording for Columbia on December 14 and December 16, 1953, Clayton led a ten-piece group that was essentially the Count Basie Orchestra with Sir Charles Thompson at the piano. Three extended romps close out this highly rewarding segment of the Buck Clayton story: "Lean Baby," a sultry blues by Billy May, cruises at a relaxed lope for eight-and-a-half minutes; the great Kansas City swing anthem "Moten Swing" rolls for twelve-and-a-half minutes, and a cool "Sentimental Journey" stretches out for nearly 14 minutes. Excellent music, superbly rendered.
