WETF Show - Kenny Clarke 1954, 55
Manage episode 432706816 series 2912517
Three great sessions by the pioneering bebop drummer when he was visiting the US from his home in Europe. The first was in Hollywood and features saxophonists Frank Morgan and Walter Benton along with Milt Jackson and Gerald Wiggins. The second is in NY with the Kenny Clarke-Ernie Wilkins Septet featuring the alto and tenor of Wilkins as well as his swinging arrangements and compositions (and Cecil Payne, George Barrow, Eddie Bert and Hank Jones). In between is the last - the 1955 Savoy session that represented the debut of the Adderleys - Cannonball and Nat, along with Jerome Richardson, Donald Byrd and Horace Silver.
