ALLISON Mose

ALLISON MOSE JOHN JR (P-VC)

Tippo, Tallahatchie County, Mississippi. 11/11/1927- Hilton Head, 15/11/2016.

Genio sempre in movimento, pianista, compositore e songwriter partito dalle rive del Mississippi. Inizialmente si è dedicato al dixieland, successivamente ha frequentato l’università della Luisiana ampliando il suo gusto musicale e ascoltando Thelonious Monk, Nat King Cole e Louis Armstrong. Nel 1956 si è trasferito definitivamente a New York, ottenendo diversi ingaggi come pianista, suonando con Stan Getz, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, Gerry Mulligan e partecipando a tournée in diverse città dell’Europa. Dagli anni ’60 ha formato un suo trio con il quale si è esibito essenzialmente nei night club. Col tempo è diventato un vero e proprio cantautore, con una sua musica fatta di blues inspirato dal suo Mississippi e da quello urbano di Percy Mayfield. Egli è riuscito a creare una particolare miscela tra questi elementi ed il pianismo moderno. Nel suo pianismo si sentono le influenze di Monk e di Bud Powell, mentre nel canto – dal fascino particolare – ha fatto tesoro degli insegnamenti di Nat King Cole. Gli va riconosciuto il merito di aver trasformato le canzoni popolari nere e bianche in canzoni moderne piene di sentimento. Il suo primo disco lo disco “Black Country Suite” registrato nel 1957 era dedicato al suo amato Sud.

ALLYN DAVID (VC)

 

Hartford, Connecticut. 19/7/1923.

Figlio d’arte, ha debuttato professionalmente con Jack Teagarden nel 1940. Dopo la fine della guerra ha lavorato con Van Alexander, Henry Jerome, Boyd Raeburn. Si è trasferito Sulla West Coast dove ha lavorato per la radio. Sospesa l’attività per problemi connessi all’uso di droga, è ritornato a suonare nel 1958 nell’orchestra di Stan Kenton, poi in quella di Count Basie. Altro blackout per droga e nel 1975 il ritorno in duo con Barry Harris. Nel complesso cantante discreto, il suo stile è stato apprezzato più dagli addetti ai lavori che dagli amatori di jazz. Ha inciso anche con Johnny Mandel e con Barry Harris. Interprete romantico di ballads, con voce compatta e determinata, ma dalla scarsa comunicativa.
