Think of 'Lockjaw' Davis and ten to one you think
of Count Basie. Think of Paul Gonsalves and ? same
thing, you think of Duke Ellington. The top
tenors, in other words, of the top big bands;
musicians from the top league where the
competition is toughest. Yet there is no battle
here, no contest, no vying to outdo the other in
terms of velocity.
If you know these two men only by hearsay, you may
have reservations about them as balladeers. They
both have reputations for derring-do of a
different kind. Davis has never hesitated to do
battle with the most frenetic performers, with
those who would stick at nothing to win, and lost
? to him. And Gonsalves was the hero of one of the
great nights in jazz history, when he blew
twenty-seven romping, stomping choruses on Duke
Ellington?s 'Diminuendo And Crescendo In Blue' at
Newport 1956.
It is easy for jazzmen to become typed, so that
the public demands the repeated display of just
one particular facet of his talent. This has
happened to the two men showcased in this album,
where the other side of their musical
personalities is brought into focus. Although they
have both developed highly individual styles,
their original sources of inspiration were masters
of the ballad ? Ben Webster in Davis? case,
Coleman Hawkins in that of Gonsalves.
Their different approaches to the ballad make this
recording consistently interesting and
surprising. Both are soulful, both are
rhapsodical. But Davis plays with clear, confident
articulation, a buzz in his tone, and a bite in
his phraseology. Generally he is the more driving
and passionate of the two. The Gonsalves style is,
on the other hand, sinuous, insinuating and less
direct. His imaginative lyricism is more tender
and often melancholy, his tone well-produced and
finely rounded.
The breathy sub-tone, which Gonsalves uses so
well, adds a curiously confidential and intimate
dimension. It is like the musical equivalent of a
whispered aside or a delicate suggestion. But both
men alternate very adroitly between the discreet
and the bold. Their mutual understanding is, in
fact, positively uncanny at times, for they had
never previously recorded together, and
preparation before the sessions was minimal. In
the studio their long term professionalism stood
them in good stead, as did that of their
accompanists, whose taste and sensitivity
contribute so much to the recording?s appeal.
Never obtrusive, they remain in close, listening
support, Hanna and Barksdale being quick to
prolong or emphasize the thoughts of the two
soloists.
