Hailing from the Detroit Jazz scene, trumpeter Donald Byrd &  baritonist Pepper Adams join forces with guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Louis Hayes (aka “Hey” Lewis) to form the all-star sextet heard on Motor City Scene (also released as Stardust). The album opens with Stardust, or “music to get lost in” as described by All About Jazz. Adams takes the lead on Philson followed by Chambers and Hayes up-tempo version of Trio. Libeccio reflects a contrast of talent from the entire sextet, ending on a high note with their hard- swinging rendition of Bitty Ditty.

it don't mean a thing - big band

"If jazz could be taken into a laboratory and put through a distilling process, two things would remain after everything else had evaporated: the blues and the beat.  The blues would remain because jazz began as the voice of an oppressed people who used music to ease the burden of living.  The beat would still be there because the physical motion of rhythm helps release the whole body from tension, making everything more bearable." ~ Henry Mancini, liner notes on The Blues and the Beat

This quote from the composer of Peter Gunn, The Pink Panther, and Breakfast at Tiffany's seems to speak of the power of music and the bleakness of humanity, however while listening to The Blues and the Beat I feel as though I've entered into a lounge frequented by only the most dashing 60's era spies.  There is a great rendition of "Misty" on side one and, whenever you hear the piano, know that it is the one and only John "Little Johnny Love" Williams, the prolific composer of blockbuster film scores!
