Shirley Scott - Organ
Frank Rehak, Connie Kaye
Contains two complete 1957 and 1958 Coral albums:
* Soft Swingin' Jazz
* The Happy Cats
Both albums never previously released on CD!
This issue reunites two excellent discs recorded in 1957 and 1958, respectively, by the versatile and swinging trumpeter Joe Newman.
The first album present an unusual and stimulating quartet directed by Newman and featuring the excellent and forceful organist Shirley Scott, with bassist Eddie Jones, drummer Charlie Persip and in one title Ernie Wilkins on piano.
The other album offer a sextet date with two guests of honor - saxophonist and flautist Frank Wess and trombonist Frank Rehak - and a great rhythm section - Johnny Acea on piano, Eddie Jones on bass, and Connie Kay on drums - interpreting magnificent arrangements by Ernie Wilkins, Al Cohn and Quincy Jones.
* John Flanagan - Liner Notes
* Quincy Jones - Arranger
* Al Cohn - Arranger
The-title-says-it-all Soft Swingin' Jazz pairs Joe Newman with organist Shirley Scott, bassist Eddie Jones and Charlie Persip for a mellow, lovely session unique within the trumpeter's catalog. For starters, Newman assumes vocal duties on a handful of cuts, proving himself a fine crooner--moreover, the spacious, nuanced arrangements afford him the room to summon some of his most intimate but impassioned solos. Not to mention that Scott's an uncommonly sympathetic collaborator, shaping and underlining the melodies to create rolling, contoured grooves with the texture of velvet. (Reissued in 2007 on the Lonehill label alongside the subsequent The Happy Cats.)

Joe Newman
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s
Born: Sep 07, 1922 in New Orleans, LA
Died: Jul 04, 1992 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Swing
Joe Newman, one of the very few musicians (other than Freddie Green) to play for long periods with Count Basie's orchestras of both the 1940s and '50s, had an unclassifiable trumpet style. Influenced early on by Louis Armstrong and more prominently by Harry "Sweets" Edison, Newman was a mainstream player who was versatile enough to hold his own with Count Basie's younger (and generally boppish) sidemen. Born to a musical family in New Orleans, Newman not only played with the college band at Alabama State College, but took over its leadership. He gained important early experience playing with Lionel Hampton's big band (1941-43) before joining Basie (1943-47). He was a featured sideman with Illinois Jacquet's popular group and also worked with J.C. Heard. Newman's second period with Basie (1952-61) gave him his greatest fame, as he shared solo space with Thad Jones. The trumpeter also recorded extensively during this era a leader for Vanguard, Storyville, Jazztone, Savoy, Coral, Roulette, Swingville and Mercury; his four near-classic RCA sessions have been reissued as a two-CD set. After leaving Basie, Newman toured the Soviet Union with Benny Goodman (1962), freelanced around New York, and became involved with Jazz Interactions (a nonprofit organization that educated youth about jazz), serving as its president starting in 1967. In later years, Joe Newman fared well at the 1972 Newport in New York jam sessions, guested with the New York Jazz Repertory Company, toured with Benny Carter, and led sessions for Black & Blue and Concord. He also founded Jazz Interactions, a New York-based organization that educated children about jazz and promoted concerts.
