This is quite a package, different in some ways from anything else in the Howard
McGhee discography. With J.J. Johnson and Brew Moore alongside McGhee in front
of Kenny Drew, Curly Russell, and Max Roach, the first six tracks, recorded for
Blue Note in August of 1949, constitute some of the best jazz being made
anywhere at that time. Four tunes were composed by Drew, who sounds
exceptionally fine here. Brew Moore blew a smooth tenor, unashamedly emulating
Lester Young's tone and phraseology. The next phase of McGhee's career took him
and a small ensemble into the Pacific Islands as part of the Korean War effort
in 1951 and 1952. Eventually presented by New Jersey's Regent Records as Jazz
South Pacific or on the Hi-Lo label as Howard McGhee's Korean All-Stars, the
band ran through a roster of relatively old-fashioned jazz standards in order to
provide accessible entertainment for armed forces personnel. There were
occasional bursts of accelerated bop, but the real charm of these live
recordings is the wild combination of progressive young musicians handling what
must have seemed to them ancient material. The most outrageous example of this
is "12th Street Bop," a send-up of "12th Street Rag" hammered out with almost
maniacal humor. "Perdido" and "Oh, Lady Be Good" are extended performances while
some of the other tracks are much shorter -- "Mood Indigo" is just over a minute
in length. The front line of McGhee, J.J. Johnson, and tenor saxophonist Rudy
Williams rides through the Philippines and Guam without missing a beat, thanks
especially to drummer Charlie Rice and electric guitarist Clifton Best, who
generates "Hawaiian" effects during the out chorus of "One O'Clock Jump." These
obscure recordings, punctuated with vigorous applause and occasional whistling
from the sailors near the bar -- lending a "Ringside at Condon's" ambience to
the proceedings -- have been reissued here and there over the years, most
notably by the Savoy label. It is good to have them laid out in orderly fashion
as an important segment of the Classics Howard McGhee chronology.
