	Buck & Buddy Blow The Blues by Buck Clayton CD
		BUCK AND BUDDY BLOW THE BLUES, the second recording trumpeter Buck Clayton and tenor man Buddy Tate made for Riverside, is something of a Count Basie Band reunion.
		Clayton, Tate, drummer Gus Johnson and bassist Gene Ramey are all alumni of Basie's band, and they share a kindred creative vision in the lightly grooving, blues-inflected swing that defined the Basie aesthetic.
		The tunes are deeply rooted in the blues, and keep pace with the mainstream jazz of the early '60s in their svelte execution and feel (thanks in part to Rudy Van Gelder's pristine sound engineering).

		The selections here are from several sessions recorded in the mid-1940s, and the vitality of the music proves that although swing was on its way out these old-school masters had quite a bit of life left.
		By the time of these dates, Clayton had already served his career-making tenure in Count Basie`s band, and his crisp, fluid trumpet style and the understated groove here are much informed by the Basie aesthetic.
		Others feature a pianoless quartet, with Clayton supported by a bassist, guitarist, and clarinetist, while the disc`s last batch of tunes has Clayton as a sideman in Trummy Young`s Big Seven (which includes trombone, clarinet, alto sax, and a standard rhythm section).

		Each man was a great trumpeter in his own right, but this collection brings them together as an example of “that” generation of trumpet men (All four were born within seven years of each other).
		From the authentic Dixieland of Allen, to the laid back swing of Clayton and Edison, to the energetic bop forerunner Eldridge, all of these men enjoyed successful careers, and the well deserved adoration of their peers.
		Edison and Clayton sound made for each other, accenting each other's musical ideas, and swinging in the same vein on tune after tune.
