1959 - Bags & Trane - John Coltrane & Milt Jackson

Milton (Milt) Jackson (Detroit, Michigan, January 01, 1923 - Manhattan, 09 October 1999) was a jazz vibraphone of the U.S. and one of the first in the genus Bebop. Called "Bags" (bags), was the main vibraphone in jazz post-swing, and perhaps the greatest of all the jazz. Born in Detroit, began playing guitar and piano, before deciding the vibraphone in adolescence. Became a vibraphone respected, even surpassing importance in the names of two historical figure instrumentalist: Lionel Hampton and Red Norvir, which was maintained for fifty years at the top of popularity, even apart from stars such as Rufus Reid and Gary Burton (1943). His style was tremendously varied, encompassing bop, blues and more traditional ballads. Milt Jackson began playing guitar and piano at age seven to eleven. A few years later was changed to the vibraphone. Dizzy Gillespie o descobriu em Detroit e ofereceu-lhe um emprego no sexteto que havia formado e mais tarde uma orquestra em 1946. His professional debut was singing in a gospel group. Dizzy Gillespie discovered in the Detroit and offered him a job in the sextet that was formed and later an orchestra in 1946. After playing with Gillespie sextet for years 1950-1952, after forming what would be in the history of jazz quartet composed of: John Lewis, Percy Heath and Kenny Clarke (1952), called the Modern Jazz Quartet. At the heart of the album find was a clear intention of the two musicians in sicronized the instruments to each other. Coltrane attacks more aggressively, with its hard-edged revealing a sound perfect for a syncope without noting that Mr. Jackson's co strongly sweetened the tone vibrate. In "The night we called the day", one can hear as they listened carefully to each other, a mixture of ground to another without costing the tune of beating. Bags & Trane is the only album recorded on set with Coltrane. The title comes from the nicknames of two musicians: Bags - Milt Jackson and Trane - John Coltrane. Recorded in January 1959, ONLY released by Atlantic Records in December 1961. Relaunched on 25 October 1990 by the Rhino label Atlantic. One of the most remarkable aspects of Coltrane is the length of their land in order to eliminate any time limit for the notes and their spread to the discretion of the needs of the interpreter, (hence the many issues of over-Coltrane for example, our land of thirty minutes). Milt Jackson also thanks to Oscar Peterson Trio and Ray Brown - Very Tall Tall Band of 1998 production was in charge of Nesuhi Ertegun & Bob Porter, with photographs by Lee Friedlander.
