Pete Jolly And His Clever Piano Jazz

If you are looking for good jazz that is still fresh (even though it was created a long time ago) then check out the finesse jazz piano of Pete Jolly a so clever West Coast musician. Listened tonight to his material and I feel so much better. Been having stomach woes but now things are going OK.

Carl Fontana...Chic, Creative Trombone Art

Carl Fontana.....The guy plays a tremendous jazz trombone. His stylish and melodic approach to trombone is the kind that keeps cutting into you, it's quite engaging. I listened today to Fontana and friends work out on the grand tune that Yip Harburg wrote...'If I Only had a Brain.' (Wizard of Oz sounds come to life.) What a good set of sounds this one is! The outing had the true finesse chops of Carl Fontana on trombone, Pete Jolly on piano and Joe La Barbera on the drums. The delicious melodic sense of Carl Fontana on the trombone is certainly a lot of fun. Pete Jolly sparkling a heady jazz vision on piano and Joe La Barbera crackling zingily on the drums mix up a sly jazzy tonic. This brand of jazz music makes this man known as me the proud owner of a very good Thursday experience. My, My...the backup individuals on this rendition ...Pete Jolly on piano, Joe La Barbera on drums are superb musicians.

Shorty Rogers: 'Cool' Jazz Lives On!

Shorty Rogers playing the unusual fluegelhorn is a unique jazz music experience. Rogers unit so wow...Their brand is the "Cool" Jazz popularized by some West Coast guys way back when. I listened today to fabulous Shorty Rogers and friends working out on the tune 'Martian Bossa Nova' and let me tell you people this was a big fun happening for little old me. This Bossa Nova thing also had super work by Joe Maini on Tenor Saxophone and the mighty Pete Jolly on the piano. Good music....Had me a nice Friday.
