Bob Haggart´s Swing Three: Hag Leaps In

Big Noise From Winnetka / If I Had You / Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise / All Too Soon / Hag Leaps In / Always / I´m Beginning to See the Light / Dot´s Cheesecake / Shaky Breaks the Ice / My Inspiration / Azurt / Passion Flower / Chelsea Bridge / Air Mail Special

Bob Haggart, John Bunch und Bucky Pizzarelli heissen die Swing Three und machen ihrem Namen alle Ehre. Bassist Bob Haggart zeigt viel Drang zum Cool Jazz und Blues, Pianist John Bunch intoniert sehr melodisch, und Gitarrist Bucky Pizzarelli fügt neben dem allgegenwärtigen Swing noch etwas Zigeuner-Jazz-Atmosphäre hinzu. Dies ist Bob Haggarts erstes Album unter seinem Namen seit vielen Jahren. Die drei Musiker passen bestens zueinander und ergänzen sich musikalisch auf einzigartige Weise. Neben Eigenkompositionen des Trios finden sich unter anderem Stücke von Strayhorn, Goodman und Ellington.

Rezensionen

Arbors Records has put out a great recording by one of the most brilliant upright bass players, Bob Haggart. In this CD Haggart is accompanied by John Bunch on (p) and Bucky Pizzarelli on (g). These three great musicians represent true jazz swing like it was meant to be played. Each tune has its own distinct taste that brings you deep into the flow of the music.

Info

"Acclaimed clarinetist Kenny Davern, effortlessly spinning out brilliantly articulate lines that often nudge the outer limits of his horn´s tonal range, has brought a very select group of fine jazzmen to the studio to carry out his musical designs." Floyd Levin (Award winning jazz writer, producer, lyricist and contributor of oral history interviews to the Jazz Archive at Tulane University).
