Description
Storyville Records present the legendary American saxophonist Buddy Tate in a meeting with the Danish quintet White Label on 'Tate's Delight - Groovin' at the JASS Festival'.
The meeting took place at the Holstebro JASS Festival in September 1982. JASS stands for Jutland's Active Musicians' Society. For almost 20 years since the foundation in 1975, the society presented an annual jazz festival during the last week of September. The concerts took place at the Holstebro Hall and the nearby Restaurant Laksen.
'Tate's Delight' was recorded at Restaurant Laksen with no rehearsals. Some tunes, but not all, were agreed upon, when White Label took the stage. It became one of those spontaneous events, where the music is created on the spot, but one for which the musician has been preparing throughout his career as an improvising jazz musician. In this context, Buddy Tate was a fine acquaintanceship. He was in good form, friendly, easy to play with, and super cool in his elegant brown-and-yellow stage outfit with matching two-tone shoes.
White Label was a Danish quintet based in the city of Odense, where they performed regularly at a popular venue called Sophus Ferdinand. Three musicians - alto saxophonist Jens Søndergaard, pianist Ole Matthiessen and bassist Niels Præstholm - were from Copenhagen, while trumpet player Poul Valdemar Pedersen and drummer Ove Rex were from Odense.
So, kick your feet up and enjoy one of the finest American tenor saxophonists from the swing era groove irresistibly with White Label!
