ABOUT THE TUNE AND THE PERFORMANCE:
"On Green Dolphin Street" (originally entitled "Green Dolphin Street") is a 1947 popular song composed by Jimmy Dorsey and Bronisław Kaper with lyrics by Ned Washington.
The song was composed for the film Green Dolphin Street, which was based on a 1944 novel of the same name by Elizabeth Goudge, and became a jazz standard after it was recorded by Miles Davis in 1958.
Arranged by Todd Beaney, this NOBQ version of , "On Green Dolphin Street" features very complex harmonic and rhythmic structure that is not associated with
this type of jazz standard. At the 00:19 tubist, Neal Tidwell does a nice job picking up on the familiar melody as the harmonics get increasingly complex.
At the 1:20 mark, trumpeter Bob Amato plays the melody with a straight mute countered by trumpeter Sweet Willie Singleton playing a counter melody with a plunger.
At 1:46 trumpeter Sweet Willie Singleton plays the melody once again transitioning to complex rhythms and harmonics. In spite of the complexity, this
is a really fun chart to perform.
ABOUT THE NOBQ:
The New Orleans Brass Quintet (NOBQ) was founded by trumpet player, Bob Amato in late 1985.
The (NOBQ) produced only one recording in 1986 - "The New Orleans Brass Quintet Plays Jazz” - • New Orleans Brass Quintet Plays Jazz | Com... was originally intended
to be titled "The New Orleans Brass Quintet: MAKING IT'S MARK!"
This 12 tune effort was recorded digitally in a 'natural' accoustic, non-studio setting at the beautiful Long View Gardens Play House in New Orleans. - https://longuevue.com/
This recording was lost over 30 years ago, and was recently located and recovered in November 2018 by Producer- Antonio Garcia.
The MP3 files that comprise this YouTube recording were transferred from an old fashioned 'home style' cassette 'reference' recording that Producer, Antonio Garcia found buried in his closet at home in Virginia. This 'Home Cassette' is the reason that there is background hiss and occasional echo that creeps into some of the sound breaks scored into some of the musical passages of this recording.
This recording effort was essentially a 'glorified' sight reading exercise. Do to professional time constraints and commitments, rehearsal time was limited to 30 minutes per arrangement. Recording time for each of the 12 arrangements was also limited to 30 minutes. One recorded run through, plus an additional 1-3 takes per track. There were three - two hour recording sessions. 4 arrangements were recorded at each of the 3 sessions.
