• John LaPorta’s complete Quintet, Quartet, Trio & Duo recordings, as leader, for Charles Mingus and Max Roach’s Debut label - recorded between 1954 and 1957. This is the first time the master takes ever appear on CD. Not only that, “Saxidental” and twelve alternate takes included here have never been previously released on any format.
• Personnel : John LaPorta (as, cl) on all tracks, with : Louis Mucci (tp), Wally Cirillo (p), Richard Carter (b),Ed Shaughnessy (d), Barry Galbraith (g), Charlie Perry (d), Sonny Russo (as), Sol Schlinger (bar), Wendell Marshall (b), Clem DeRosa (d), and Jack Keller (p).
• 2 CD set - Total Time : 153.44 mins. - 40 tracks - New & careful remastering - includes excellent 20-page booklet.
• LaPorta was one of those rare musicians who felt completely at ease performing both composed (i.e. classical) and improvised music (jazz) at a time when these two forms of art were still completely ‘segregated’. As a result, in the first stages of his professional career he played with artists of considerable fame and status who were dedicated to widely divergentforms of music, such as Woody Herman, Igor Stravinsky, Lennie Tristano, LeonardBernstein, Charlie Parker, Leopold Stokowski, Charles Mingus, Gunther chuller, and Zita Carno. |
