Frank Morgan; Monty Alexander; Red Rodney All Stars: Tribute To Charlie Parker (DVD: Idem Home Video)
One-time "Birdmen" Red Rodney (flugelhorn) and Roy Haynes (drums) combine at 1990 Cannes Festival with Frank Morgan (alto-sax), Monty Alexander (piano), and Rufus Reid (bass) on a tribute to saxist Charlie "Bird" Parker. Precise, sparkling playing from all---a no-nonsense format which privileges performance over camera gimmicks or other distractions. Solo features for each, but especially fine is Frank Morgan's spot on "Parker's Mood"---a blues played with great inventive fluency and immense feeling. Ben Sidran presents; scat singer Jon Hendricks and alto-saxist Phil Woods guest on Parker's blues, "Buzzy." Buy for Morgan's marvellous contribution alone! Recommended. (Andrew Clark, Editor, Riffs & Choruses: A New Jazz Anthology. Continuum Publishing.)PAL format, 73 mins. Colour.

 | Phil Woods Quartet; Jon Hendricks Group: Tribute To Charlie Parker (DVD: Idem Home Video)
Another helping from Parker tribute concert at Cannes (1990), alto-saxist Phil Woods sharing the bill with singer Jon Hendrick's group. Woods blows a fierce, full-toned, exciting alto---an individual voice whose style defines one school of post-Parker players. "Vocalese" and "scat" singer Hendricks has assorted family (especially daughter Michelle) on the set's remainder, with lyrics sung to recorded jazz solos and wordless vocals imitating jazz instruments. Hendricks is acknowledged master of both styles---excitingly demonstrated in Parker pieces "Billy's Bounce" and "Yardbird Suite." Pianist Larry Golding and the fabulous Jimmy Cobb (drums) support. Excellent companion to Parker tribute, vol. 1. (Andrew Clark, Editor, Riffs & Choruses: A New Jazz Anthology. Continuum Publishing.)PAL format, 68 mins. Colour.
