About
Pianist Bobby Timmons’ ‘rusty fingertips’ got the concert going with ‘Moanin’, while the rest of the band simply underlined the rhythm before developing it. The tone was set: thoughtful yet jubilant, simple, subtly nuanced. This was followed by ‘Along Came Betty’, for the Betty who took Benny Golson’s fancy when she walked into a club where he was performing. After a tribute to Thelonious Monk lasting several minutes, the Jazz Messengers launched into an exploration of a magnificent ballade composed by Benny Golson in memory of Clifford Brown, the great trumpet player who had passed away two years earlier. In ‘Now Is The Time’, Art paid a modest tribute to the man he called the prophet of modern jazz, Charlie Parker. The next piece, ‘Whisper Not’, is one of muted melancholy, elegance and emotion, tenderly expressed by Lee Morgan’s trumpet. At this stage, it must have been hard to imagine that the concert would end so resoundingly. Art, communing with Africa as expressed by Gillespie, launches into a long solo with varied successions of rhythms, and all the colours of the continent surged forth until, at the very end, all the instruments exploded in a display of fireworks, each bursting out as the others faded away. With the last note, Art stood up and made his way to the edge of the stage. We can imagine his teasing smile as he took in the applause, finishing with, ‘May God bless you’.
