Clarinescapade by Bobby Jaspar Quartet & Quintet, released on Fresh Sounds Records in 2007 but recorded in 1956.

Bobby Jaspar was a young Belgian tenor saxophonist and flautist who arrived in New York in April 1956. His reputation in Europe was considerable, but he was practically unknown in the States. Nonetheless, when trombonist J.J. Johnson engaged Bobby for his newly formed quintet, he finally achieved the recognition he deserved. From that moment on, he enjoyed great success, winning Down Beats critics poll award in the New Star Tenor Sax category during the summer of 1956.

These recordings were made on three dates during the fall of that same year. The music is varied in theme and mood, and Jaspar, as well as performing on tenor sax, clarinet and flute, displays a musical expression entirely his own, playing with a great deal of warmth and imagination...

Guitar And The Wind by Barry Galbraith released on Decca in 1958

Marc Myers wrote for JazzWax:

"Barry Galbraith was one of New York's busiest session jazz guitarists in the 1950s and '60s. Between 1941 and the late 1970s, he was on 620 recording dates, a staggering total. How many albums did he record as a leader under his name? Just one—Guitar and the Wind, for Decca..

The album is beautifully arranged, swings tastefully and is a gorgeous example of what made Galbraith special. His chord voicings were seductive and his improvised runs were tasty and unbeatable.

Recorded in January 1958 over three days, the album featured the following personnel and tracks:

Urbie Green, Chauncey Welsch and Frank Rehak (tb); Dick Hixson (b-tb); Bobby Jaspar (fl,ts); Eddie Costa (p,vib); Barry Galbraith (g); Milt Hinton (b); Osie Johnson (d) and Billy Byers (arr)"

Tenorsaxofonist Bobby Jaspar van het J.J. Johnson Quintet in het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Ed van der Elsken, 1957

The image captures a moment of live performance featuring a tenor saxophonist, Bobby Jaspar, from the J.J. Johnson Quintet during their concert at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in 1957. The monochromatic photograph exudes a classic feel with its stark black and white tones.

Bobby Jaspar is prominently featured in the foreground, playing his saxophone on stage. He appears deeply engrossed in his performance, with attention focused towards an unseen audience or musical accompaniment out of frame. His attire includes what seems to be a dark suit which adds a formal tone fitting for jazz performances during this era.

Behind him, slightly blurred and partially obscured by darkness, is another musician holding a double bass guitar. The lights from the stage reflect off its glossy surface, creating an array of sparkling white spots that contrast with the otherwise dimly lit background. This artistic choice directs attention towards the performers while leaving much to their imagination in terms of setting.

The image encapsulates both the intensity and elegance associated with jazz performances during this period, providing a glimpse into Bobby Jaspar's contribution as part of J.J. Johnson's quintet which was known for its prominent role within the bebop movement that gained momentum post World War II.

Sticking with that smooth #jazz swing & #NowListening to #ByrdInParis by #DonaldByrd with #BobbyJaspar, #WalterDavisJunior, #DougWatkins, & #ArtTaylor - another live offering from the exceptional #SamRecords, based out of Paris.

This is a typically high quality issue - well presented, very well mastered, & impeccably pressed. The performance is really strong - you can really hear the room & the musicianship is top par.

Photo of a record album cover which is a photo of Donald Byrd leaning against a wall reading Le Figaro. He is wearing a brown suede hat snd a yellow jumper under a black leather coat.

To the top right of the picture, black text reads, ‘Byrd in Paris’.

Photo of a record spinning on he skeletal frame of a Rega P8 turntable.

The centre label reads, ‘Brunswick’.

The tonearm is tracing the first track.

Next up & #NowListening to #DonaldByrd & #BobbyJaspar live at Cannes in ‘58.

This is just such a great recording &, while the Miles is evocative, this bops like an insane thing - particular on #BoogieWoogie - the highlight imo.

As far as I can see, this set is unique to the excellent #SamRecords based out of Paris. If you are into #jazz - definitely check Sam out. Their issues are generally #AAA, well mastered, meticulously pressed, & well presented.

#NowPlaying #Vinyl #VinylRecords #Music

Photo of a record spinning on the skeletal plinth of a Rega P8 turntable.

The white text on the pale grey centre label is lost in the blur of motion.

The tone arm and red cart is tracing the opening track.

Even more Sunday vinyl ... a pretty expensive but indeed very pretty LP released by Sam Records, containing the Cannes 1958 set (shortened?) by the Donald Byrd Quintet with Bobby Jaspar, Walter Davis Jr., Doug Watkins and Art Taylor.
