There are far too few Buddy Collette recordings on this good Earth, so any could be termed an event. This in-concert performance at the Civic Arts Plaza Forum Theatre in Thousand Oaks, California unites Collette in a octet with like-minded straight ahead jazz musicians he has collaborated with for decades. They include fellow multi-instrumentalist Sam Most, flugelhornist Al Aarons, trombonist George Bohanon, guitarist Al Viola, pianist Ronnell Bright, bassist Richard Simon and drummer Ndugu Leon Chancler, all top notch. Of the four Collette originals, all well over 10 minutes, there are two sambas and two swingers, with melody lines bookending extensive solo passages from all members present. The light, breezy Brazilian beats of "Veda" and the title cut give sway to a relaxed mood where no one is rushing their statements so the next solo can happen. The former piece is trombone led, Bohanon serene and placid while digging into the melody, horns gently supporting solos from Most's Getz-like tenor, Collette's legendary flute legerdermain and Bright's astounding phrasings. The latter is a simpler melody, Most on alto, Buddy on tenor with tuneful flugelhorn from Aarons, Bohanon quoting "Get Happy," and Simon's bass replying "Well, You Needn't." A rich melody on the mid-tempo swinger "Andre" is informed by Collette's alto, and accented again by Most's tenor and the harmonically luscious guitar solo of Viola. Bright sings on two selections his wistful bossa "Sea Mist" and the ballad "Talk About Loving You." He's a very good singer inferring some Mel Torme-like affectations, and as a pianist he is unrivaled, nay generally unsung. Ellington's tuneful melody "Villes Ville Is The Place, Man" opens the set with everybody getting a spot, simple horns lines buoying each soloist, while the finale, Collette's "Hunt & Peck" has what many fans really crave, Collette and Most on flutes, singing in melodic rhapsody or planting their solos firmly in your mind, leaving no doubt as to their utter mastery. The group also does some nice trading of fours with Chancler, and Aarons picks up his trumpet for this lone offering, with Simon's appropos quoting of "Merrily We Roll Along." Buddy Collette, as multi-dimensional a musician as there has ever been in jazz, truly does it all on this excellent 70+ minute document of his artistry. As woodwind and reed icon, bandleader, composer, first call studio man and vaunted teacher in L.A. schools, he is a hero to this writer, and no doubt countless others, in his home and around the world. Highly recommended for cognoscenti but especially those of you who are not hip to one of the true greats of authentic jazz expressionism.

Buddy Collette

Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Aug 06, 1921 in Los Angeles, CA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Cool, West Coast Blues, West Coast Jazz

An important force in the Los Angeles jazz community, Buddy Collette was an early pioneer at playing jazz on the flute. Collette started on piano as a child and then gradually learned all of the woodwinds. He played with Les Hite in 1942; led a dance band while in the Navy during World War II; and then freelanced in the L.A. area with such bands as the Stars of Swing (1946), Edgar Hayes, Louis Jordan, Benny Carter, and Gerald Wilson (1949-1950). An early teacher of Charles Mingus, Collette became the first black musician to get a permanent spot in a West Coast studio band (1951-1955). He gained his greatest recognition as an important member of the Chico Hamilton Quintet (1955-1956), and he recorded several albums as a leader in the mid- to late '50s for Contemporary. Otherwise, he mostly stuck to the L.A. area, freelancing, working in the studios, playing in clubs, teaching, and inspiring younger musicians. Although a fine tenor player and a good clarinetist, Collette's most distinctive voice is on flute; he recorded an album with one of his former students, the great James Newton (1989). In addition, Collette participated in a reunion of the Chico Hamilton Quintet, and recorded a two-disc "talking record" for the Issues label in 1994, in which he discussed some of what he had seen and experienced through the years.
