Living Jazz Play Today’s Hits
Since its early formative years in New Orleans, jazz has been imbued with an astounding variety of outside influ¬ ences, absorbing and utilizing features of other musical styles in order to enrich and broaden its own develop¬ ment. Yet, it has always managed to retain its own unique identity, its essence unsubmerged by appear¬ ances. Whatever else jazz may seem to be, it is always jazz, always the music of now.
Rock and bossa nova are two of the more recent contribu¬ tors to the growth and development of that protean or¬ ganism we call jazz. Here is particularly fertile ground for the jazzman: the rhythmic, electric excitement of rock and the gentle, lyrical understatement of bossa nova. In the right hands this combination of ingredients promises some very groovy music indeed.
Which brings us to the present album. Phil Bodner, along with a superbly gifted group of instrumentalists, has come up with an outstanding example of jazz a la mode.
The recipe calls for a brimming bagful of choice, Grade A, now hits liberally seasoned with the sounds of rock, a dash of bossa nova and served with a great heaping of jazz soul.
Included in this collection of tunes are such tasty morsels as Lennon-McCartney’s Eleanor Rigby, Otis Redding’s (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay, Herbie Mann’s Memphis Underground and Nilsson’s I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City. Phil Bodner’s arrangements are as up- to-the-minute as the material itself, and Living Jazz plays them with its customary sound and spirit.
All in all, Memphis Underground stands as living proof of the fact that although the face of jazz may change the groove goes on and on.
