Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Smooth as the Wind an album by American trumpeter Blue Mitchell with strings and brass recorded in late 1960 and early 1961 and released on the Riverside label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Trumpeter Blue Mitchell is in excellent form on this very interesting session... The arrangements (seven by Tadd Dameron and three from Benny Golson) are generally quite stimulating, inspiring the trumpeter to come up with many fresh melodic solos... By varying tempos and moods, Dameron and Golson helped create one of the better soloist-with-strings jazz dates". - Wikipedia

Lady Bird si apre sull’accordo di tonica, alla terza misura sembra muovere verso la tonalità di E♭ tramite la cadenza Fm7 B♭7 ma in realtà torna su C per altre due misure.

Questo passaggio si chiama "Backdoor Cadence", ecco alcuni appunti sull'argomento.

Dexter Rides Again is a 1958 jazz album by saxophonist Dexter Gordon, assembled from his 1940s recordings for the Savoy label.

Dexter Rides Again Review by Stephen Cook

Taken from three separate sessions from 1945-'47, Dexter Rides Again showcases prime bebop sides Gordon cut for Savoy. His unique adaptation of Charlie Parker's alto conception to the tenor saxophone is displayed throughout, revealing a mix of fluid, hard-toned lines and a vibrato-heavy and vaporous ballad sound...Abetted by a collective cast including the fine, yet rarely heard trumpeter Leonard Hawkins, baritone saxophonist Leo Parker, pianists Tadd Dameron and Bud Powell, and drummers Max Roach and Art Blakey.."
