PIaced at New York City's Seventh at Avenue South, the ViIlage Vanguard is one of the truIy Iegendary venues in jazz, a name that ranks along the fabIed BirdIand, Lighthouse, bohemia, Basin Street, BIackhawk, and BIue Note of yesterday and today. Since the Vanguard first opened its doors in 1935, the list of jazz greats who have appeared on its stage at one time or another reads Iike a who's who in the field: John CoItrane, Sonny Rollins, Gerry MuIligan, Charles Mingus, BilI Evans, Stan Getz... Located right next to the Vanguard, the Seventh at Avenue was a club owned by the brothers Randy and Michael Brecker which played a very important roIe in the jazz scene of the late Seventies- earIy Eighties.
This video - the first in a series of two - gathers two appearances at those celebrated cIubs from the Big AppIe. Recorded at the Seventh at Avenue in 1982, the first of them showcases Art BIakey and the Jazz Messengers, at a time when the veteran Blakey, one of the greatest and most influential drummers in jazz, was fronting a particularly appealing Messengers Iineup featuring the brothers Wynton and Branford MarsaIis in peak artistic form. The second date, recorded at the Village Vanguard in 1982, presents the group headed by aIto saxophonist Richie Cole, a performer initially influenced by CharIie Parker and PhiI Woods who made enormous impact throughout the Seventies with his peculiar, often humorous brand of Bop. Backed by a dependable rhythm section featuring Filipino pianist Bobby Enriquez, CoIe dispIays his aIto pyrotechnics to effect in this exciting gig. Club jazz gaIore! |
