Notes
CD Description: Positive and uplifting, 'Just A Little Taste' pays tribute to the 'Golden Age' of instrumental writing with lush orchestral accompaniment. Trumpeter Al Hood and arranger Dave Hanson offer up seven jazz standards and five original works set for trumpet, strings, winds and rhythm section. Hanson has captured this nostalgic era with his writing and orchestrations and managed to add a great deal of freshness to the art form! The selections are some of my favorite melodies. Two of them pay homage to my main trumpet influences - Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan - and you will surely hear nods to some of my other favorites throughout the CD. I am also honored to showcase original music by Pete Olstad and Dave Hanson. Al Hood Liner Notes: One of my college professors once compared arranging to cooking. Just as a master chef creates his own version of a casserole by adding his own combination of spices and extra ingredients, an arranger creates his version of a song by adding his own stylistic influences and varying the instrumentation. Of course, the comparison also applies to jazz musicians in general, as most players create their own musical voice by combining the basic ingredients of their greatest influences with unique conceptions of their own invention. So, if the title of this CD, "Just A Little Taste" makes you think of a large buffet with lots of food and drink to sample, listening to the CD will confirm that impression. While this is an album featuring jazz trumpet in front of a string orchestra, there is a great deal of variety amongst the selections (and more than is usually heard in jazz/string albums). In creating this album, trumpeter Al Hood and pianist/arranger Dave Hanson wanted to pay tribute to a wide range of musical influences without directly copying any of them. It's quite appropriate that this CD starts off with a tribute to Clifford Brown. Al was the chief researcher on Nick Catalano's biography of Clifford, and part of Al's website is dedicated to his collection of Brownie memorabilia. Yet on trumpet, Al is no Brownie clone. His playing on Benny Golson's I Remember Clifford shows a wide range of trumpet influences from Louis Armstrong to Kenny Wheeler. Hanson's arrangement borrows it's style from the studio orchestra sound of the 1950s, and the contrast between the orchestration and Al's trumpet is as effective as Neal Hefti's arrangements for the album "Clifford Brown With Strings." Pure Imagination is from the movie "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" and it has gradually eclipsed "The Candy Man" as the most famous song from that score. Al says it's been one of his favorite songs for years, which is clear from the joyous performance heard here. Hanson takes a brief piano spot between Al's extended solos. It's Only Everything was composed by fellow trumpeter Pete Olstad, who like Hanson and the undersigned, spent several of his formative years at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. The melody has a melancholy tone which seems to cry out for the right lyrics. Hanson's lovely arrangement features a tasty introduction of the instruments at the outset and a graceful counter-melody in the strings during the melody chorus. Later, when it sounds as if the whole arrangement is wrapping up, Hanson gives the orchestra a variation of it's own before Al returns with the melody. On the coda, Al plays a solo over a vamp and a lush orchestral background. Eventually, the orchestra and Al yield to Dave, whose piano solo gradually fades into silence. Written for Shirley Horn, Here's To Life is one of the best songs composed in the last 20 years. In addition to Shirley's recording with Johnny Mandel's orchestra, the song was also recorded by Joe Williams with Robert Farnon's orchestra. Both arrangers are high on Hanson's list of influences, and it's good to hear the song again after it's two best interpreters have passed on. Here, the vocalist is Al's brother Steve Hood, appearing in his f
