The Ray Brown Trio is caught on this CD live at a Tokyo concert and sounds obviously inspired by
the enthusiastic crowd. The group (which also stars pianist Gene Harris and drummer Jeff Hamilton)
stretches out on four standards, "Put Your Little Right Out," Victor Feldman's "Rio" and two Brown
originals: "F.S.R. (For Sonny Rollins)" and the title cut. This release is a perfect introduction to the
many fine Ray Brown-Gene Harris Concord recordings; it consistently swings with soul.

This live Boston summit meeting between Ray Brown, Christian McBride and John Clayton was the l
ogical outcome of several joint appearances, as well as an extension of a one-off bass troika track
that McBride included on his first solo album. The idea of a bass trio on records probably would have
been unthinkable in the primitive days of recording when Brown was coming up, but Telarc's fabulously
deep yet clear engineering makes it seem like a natural thing to do. Whether pizzicato or bowed,
whether taking the melodic solo or plunking down the 4/4 bottom line, all three perform with amazing
panache, taste, humor, lack of ego, and the sheer joy of talking to and against each other beneath the
musical staff. But if one has to pick out a single star, the choice has to be McBride, whose unshakeable
time, solid tone and amazing ability to play his cumbersome bull fiddle like a horn stands out in
astonishing fashion on the right speaker. On two tracks, the fleet-fingered Benny Green and drummer
Gregory Hutchinson join Brown to form a conventional trio that serves as an effective change of pace.
It's a fun set without a doubt, but these guys are also clearly making coherent music, and that is what
will hold our interest over the long haul. ~ Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide

Ray Brown Trio - Some of My Best Friends Are...The Sax Players (1996)

As a follow-up to bassist Ray Brown's previous record in which he collaborated with several of his
favorite pianists, Some of My Best Friends Are...The Sax Players features six major saxophonists
(tenors Joe Lovano, Ralph Moore, Joshua Redman and Stanley Turrentine plus altoists Benny
Carter and Jesse Davis) on two songs apiece with his regular trio. Although more than 60 years
separate the ageless Carter from Redman, each of the saxes originally developed their own voice
in the straight-ahead jazz tradition. Highlights of the colorful set include Benny Carter's playful
rendition of "Love Walked In," Moore's cooking solo on "Crazeology" (a Benny Harris bop classic
which the record mistakenly lists as written by Bud Freeman), Davis ripping through "Moose the
Mooche" and Turrentine's romp on the blues "Port of Rico." Pianist Benny Green and drummer
Gregory Hutchinson provide suitable accompaniment (Green's solos are consistently excellent) and
all dozen of the songs are successful and swinging. As an extra bonus, on the latter part of the CD
each of the saxophonists has a brief chat (between 26 seconds and a minute apiece) with Brown
about their early influences. There is so much good feeling and obvious mutual respect shown that
one wishes these talks were at least twice as long; the Benny Carter segment is most memorable.
This well-conceived project is easily recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Track List:
01  How High the Moon  (Hamilton, Lewis)  5:26 
02  Love Walked In  (Gershwin, Gershwin)  4:39

Ray Brown did it again with the fourth installment in his Some of My Best Friends Are... series,
spotlighting some of the hottest trumpet players around and producing one of the finest trumpet-
fronted small group recordings to come down the jazz pike in a while. Featuring a six-pack of
hornmen ranging from octogenarian Clark Terry to youngsters Roy Hargrove and Nicholas Payton,
this CD alternately cooks and simmers, with the ballads especially standing out in their spaciousness
and beauty. The blend of Brown's bass and Jon Faddis' trumpet on a slowed-down "Bag's Groove"
is particularly appealing in its sparseness. The intro and outro duets between Brown's bass and
James Morrison's dry trumpet tone on "I Thought About You" are also entrancing in their openness.
Terrence Blanchard lays out a smoky lead line over Geoff Keezer's bluesy late-night piano on Benny
Goodman's old sign-off theme, "Goodbye," bringing a new poignancy to the tune. On the most
noteworthy upbeat number, Payton really smokes on Joe Henderson's composition, "The Kicker,"
though the track mysteriously fades out too early. Brown himself is fantastic throughout this disc,
and he and his trio mates Keezer and drummer Karriem Riggins anchor the proceedings masterfully.

The fifth in Ray Brown's series of recordings pairing his working trio with several different musicians
from the same family of instruments (although one volume was exclusively singers) features a
half-dozen guitarists, ranging from fellow Oscar Peterson alumni Herb Ellis (who worked with Brown in
the pianist's most famous trio) and Ulf Wakenius to veteran Kenny Burrell, as well as seasoned players
like John Pizzarelli and Bruce Forman and the rising star Russell Malone. Each song sounds as if the
group could be a working quartet, due to the great interaction between the trio and each guest.
Pizzarelli shines in a bluesy, strutting take of Duke Ellington's "Just Squeeze Me" (erroneously labeled
as Fats Waller's "Squeeze Me") which has a nice series of exchanges between the guitarist and the
leader. Ellis brings back memories of the Oscar Peterson Trio with a heated performance of "I Want to
Be Happy" during which pianist Geoff Keezer is up to the task of carrying on where Ellis left off.
Wakenius is the guest on a particularly moody take of "My Funny Valentine." Burrell, Forman, and
Malone also fare nicely on each of their pair of tracks, so it's very easy to recommend this very enjoyable
disc. ~ by Ken Dryden, All Music Guide

Track List:
01. Squeeze Me (Waller, Williams) - 7:28
02. I Want to Be Happy (Caesar, Youmans) - 3:36
03. Heartstrings (Jackson) - 5:30
04. Blues for Ray (Wakenius) - 3:13
05. Fly Me to the Moon (Howard) - 5:11
06. The Song Is You (Hammerstein, Kern) - 5:01
07. Little Darlin' (Hefti) - 7:47

09. Tangerine (Mercer, Schertzinger) - 4:27
10. My Funny Valentine (Hart, Rodgers) - 6:04
11. Blues for Wes (Forman) - 4:42

Уважаемый jzaharov ссылки на  "The Ray Brown Trio with Gene Harris - Soular Energy (1984)", "Ray Brown - The Red Hot Ray Brown Trio (1987)" и "The Ray Brown Trio - Bam Bam Bam (1988)" не работают: на mail.ru они не найдены. Как быть? Уж очень я люблю Ray Brown и Gene Harris.

Благодарю!

Прекрасный альбом, один из моих любимых! Все собирался его выложить, а он , оказывается, здесь есть. +1
А нет ли у Вас The Three Sound: "Vibrations" и "Feelin' Good"? Не могу нигде найти в lossless. Был бы весьма признателен!

Очень понравился альбом, большое спасибо! Не знал, что Александер так много записывался с Рэем Брауном, у них славно получается!
