レイ・ブライアントふたたび～ボーカルとの共演を中心に～

前回（2014 年 4 月）、「特集：レイ・ブライアント」ということで、リーダー、サイド合わせて 26 枚のアルバムを取り上げました。レイ・ブライアントは、キャリアの初期にカーメン・マクレエの伴奏者を務めたことが有名ですが、ディスコグラフィを見ると、(VO)が記載されているアルバムが結構目につきます。本日は、広い意味でのボーカル盤と前回取り上げられなかったリーダー盤などをお聴きいただきます。ジャズの枠を超えているものもありますが、そこはご容赦ください。
ご存じの方も多いと思いますのでプロフィールは簡単に。
レイ・ブライアント（1931.12.24-2011.6.2）はフィラデルフィア生まれ。教会ピアニストを母に持ち、兄はベーシストのトミー・ブライアント、弟はドラマーのレン・ブライアント。1956 年に EPIC に初リーダーアルバムを録音し、50 年代は Prestige に所属しつつ多数の録音に参加、その後、トリオ中心に移行しますが、ソロレコーディングも多く残しています。
