Jazz
Digitally remastered collection from the Jazz great.
Throughout his illustrious career Jimmy Giuffre remained a true innovator. From creating the timeless 'Four Brothers' Sound with Woody Herman to his many acoustic trios which both anticipated and influenced the ECM genre, multi-saxist Giuffre has always been a genuine frontrunner.
Here's just one of the many reasons: 'Swamp People' comprises the most adventurous juncture in Giuffre's constant search for a new approach to familiar themes. Indeed, of all the groups Jimmy Giuffre fronted, this was, by far, the most unique in that it featured Giuffre on saxes and clarinet, Bob Brookmeyer’s signature sounding valve trombone and guitarist Jim Hall. And, it was this swinging threesome that famously performed the evocative jazz hit 'The Train And The River' in the movie 'Jazz On A Summer's Day' and is included here.
It was 'The Train And The River' that set the tone for what Giuffre described as the trio's seductive blend of "blues-based folk jazz."
Be it Giuffre originals such as Swamp People and The Green Country (New England Mood) or idiosyncratic reworkings of Show Me The Way To Go Home and California Here I Come , no other group before or since has come close to emulating this threesome.

Jimmy Giuffre has had many accomplishments in a long career that has never been predictable. Giuffre graduated from North Texas State Teachers College (1942), played in an Army band during his period in the service and then had stints with the orchestras of Boyd Raeburn, Jimmy Dorsey and Buddy Rich. His composition "Four Brothers" became a hit for Woody Herman, an orchestra that Giuffre eventually joined in 1949.
Settling on the West Coast, the cool-toned tenor started also playing clarinet and occasional baritone. He was with Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars (1951-52) and Shorty Rogers' Giants (1952-56), recording with many top West Coast jazz players. In 1956 he went out on his own, forming the Jimmy Giuffre 3 with guitarist Jim Hall and bassist Ralph Pena (later Jim Atlas). Giuffre had a minor hit with his recording of "The Train and the River," a song that he played during his notable appearance on the 1957 television special The Sound of Jazz. In 1958 Giuffre had a most unusual trio with valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer and guitarist Hall (no piano, bass or drums!), appearing in the movie Jazz on a Summer's Day. After a couple years of reverting back to the reeds-guitar-bass format, in 1961 the new Jimmy Giuffre 3 featured pianist Paul Bley and bassist Steve Swallow and was involved in exploring the more introspective side of free jazz. From 1963 on Giuffre maintained a lower profile, working as an educator although Don Friedman and Barre Phillips were in his unrecorded 1964-65 group. He popped up on records now and then in the 1970s with diverse trios (including a session with Bley and Bill Connors) and his 1980s unit often utilized the synthesizer of Pete Levin. Giuffre, who started late in life playing flute and soprano and seems to have made a career out of playing surprising music, reunited with Bley and Swallow in 1992. He has recorded as a leader through the years for Capitol, Atlantic, Columbia, Verve, Hat Art, Choice, Improvising Artists, Soul Note and Owl.
