From the first opening notes of the CD Colin Kingwell's Jazz bandits highjack your ears and attention and won't let go until the last bar closes. I was very impressed, especially as I didn't really know what to expect. Ok, so all the true blue jazz fans from the 50s know who he is, but I came to jazz via the Trad boom, and classic stylists such as Colin were beyond my ken, hey I didn't even catch up with the Guv'nor till I had been buying jazz records for five years! What attracted me originally to this album was the fact that the tracks contained many rarely played numbers. Also I saw my favourite jazz drummer Malc Murphy's name, and I knew he wouldn't play with any old band. Old band? Well, some of the members are getting on a bit. Even Malc isn't the daring young man he was when I first saw him in the mid 60s. However, like a decent whisky, they are well rounded, smooth, mellow and yet have a decent bite! Trumpeter Dave Clennell gives a strong lead, Colin Kingwell underlines with his 'singing' trombone, and reeds man Rod Chambers gives outstanding performances on both clarinet and alto sax. The backline is equally as good with Doug Kennedy on banjo and Terry Knight on bass, and of course Malc Murphy listed as playing drums, but it sounds more like drums, traps and effects to me. I am sure Malc's signature tune should be "Oh, Didn't He Ramble". The style is New Orleans with a few more solo breaks than some N.O. bands use. The upbeat numbers are very good and move well and soon get your feet taping, but it is the down tempo numbers such as "Vieux Carre Blues", and "Where Could I Go To But To The Lord" that the band excels and had me reaching for the 'Repeat' button as they seemed to give the individual band members more opportunity to explore the musical nuances and display their talents more fully. This is one hot CD and a welcome addition to the renowned Lake catalogue. - Geoff Boxell
Colin Kingwell's Jazz Bandits
Colin KingwellThe Jazz Bandits have been led by trombonist Colin Kingwell since 1956 and in the "Trad Boom" won awards playing in the classic style. Over the years, however, they have developed a purer New Orleans style and can boast of one, if not the best rhythm section anywhere. Drummer, Malc Murphy, is well known playing with many bands, including, of course, Ken Colyer''s Jazzmen from 1966-1971. Since then Malc has played under his own name and in numerous bands across Europe and in New Orleans. His unique style is much in demand, mixing the rhythms of Zutty Singleton, Baby Dodds, Joe Watkins, this reinforced by a great range of vocals. He joined the band in February 1991. Terry Knight is as legendary for his swinging and accurate Pops Foster type bass playing. Concerts with Louis Armstrong, recording and tours with George Lewis, Sammy Rimington, Kid Thomas and many other greats are few of his notable achievements. He joined the band in October 1987. Completing the rhythm section is Doug Kennedy, doubling in best tradition on tenor banjo and guitar. He is a musicians'' rhythm and, the relaxed and steady chord playing controlling exciting rhythms and proving the optimum link for the front line. Doug is the longest serving member, joining in March 1973. Dave Clennel on trumpet is noticeably a Red Allen man. He plays a very exciting lead plus a variety of vocals. He joined the band in January 1988. Powerhouse clarinet and alto sax player is Rod Chambers who led his own band, the Louisiana Joymakers, for a number of years. He is the latest member, joining in February 1994. Colin Kingwell has been described as having a "singing style" on trombone. In this early years he played tuba with Mick Mulligan''s Magnolia Jazzband then formed the Brent Valley Jazzband with Pat Halcox, before moving to the trombone chair in Steve Lane''s, Southern Stompers. |
