茶会記 Riverside Jazz Story 第 16 回

2012-2-4～Bix Beiderbecke on Riveside Label and more～Riverside Label 裏街道

瀧口譲司

1 月はお休みをいただいて、今月 2 月から 2012 年の「茶会記リヴァーサイド物語」の始まりとなりました。リヴァーサイド物語の主宰である古庄氏が毎回の出席が困難になったため微力ですが瀧口が続けていき、暫時、古庄さんにお越しいただくスタ
イルで本イベントを続けていきます。
事前に古庄さんにはご相談のうえ資料の貸し出しなどご協力をいただいています。
後半は瀧口色を出させていただいて、今回も近年気に入っていた作品をかけさせていただきます。新旧取り混ぜての選曲になりますが、時々はゲストをお呼びして、特集あるいは、レーベルの紹介などさせていただきます。
さて今回は、1920 年代中期から 1930 年代初頭のほんの短い期間の活動だけで、その後の白人トランぺッターに絶大な影響を残した、コルネット奏者、ビックス・バイ
ダーベックの残した演奏のうち、リヴァーサイド・レーベルから発売された音源を中心に聴いていきます。
ＳＰ時代のことですから、ビックスが残した音源は様々なレーベルにまたがっており、フィーチャー作品はたくさんありますが、リーダー作品と言えるものは多くはありません。

初めにリヴァーサイドに残された 3 枚のアルバムを紹介します。10 インチＬＰ2 枚とそれらの中からピックアップした作品に未収録曲を加えた 12 インチＬＰが一枚あります。さらに今回は古庄さんからお借りした、ビル・グラウアーズとオリン・キープニュースが編纂した「“Ｘ”レーベル」からのの作品『Paul Whiteman Orchestra featuring
Bix Beiderbecke』を聴いていきます。

The original label of the Okeh 40772 record, with both Clarinet Marmalade andSingin’ the Blues, was printed as: « Frankie Trumbauer and his Orcestra with Bixand Lang » ; the Mosaic edition of these Okeh recordings specifies that on the metal
part of Singin’ the Blues “the matrix number (80393) is located in the run-ON
groove area with take-C being shown”; the only issued take of that number istherefore the third one. According informations published in April 1934 in Melody
Maker (Warren Scholl) and in July 1939 in Rhythm (interview with Tram), Miff Mole
replaced Bill Rank on “Singin’ the Blues”.

＜今月の気になったアル

バム＞

今月はビックスから連想したジョー・ワイルダーから始めさせていただく．2 枚目は名盤として認知された作品だが、一枚目も曲によって編成を変えてウイットに富んだ選曲で楽しめる作品だ。ベニー・カーターの肝いりで制作された「EveningstarRecords」は、見逃せないレーベルだ。
ロンドン・ジャズ・カルテットは、近年、カルト人気のテンポレーベルの Ember レーベ
ルのジャケットでのＣＤ化作品。単純に楽しめる。
バルネ・ウィランは、再発のＬＰだが、来日の時にサインをもらった。なかなか良い言葉を書いてくれたので、持ってきた。演奏は先々月同様、この当時は素晴らしく気合が入っている。
西海岸の黒人ビッグバンド・リーダー、ジェラルド・ウイルソンの息子のアンソニー・ウイルソンは、様々なセッションに引っ張りだこだが、ここではオルガンのジョン・バートのトリオでローグルーヴな演奏を聴かせる。音色がぴか一で気に入っているギタリスト。
最後は時間があれば聴きたい Contemporary Noise Sextet & 同 Quintet。試聴レ
ビューで聴いてからすっかりファンになってしまった。フリージャズの爆発的なエネルギーを内包する危うさが魅力。テクニックもそれなりに持っている。
