DeFranco, Buddy - Charlie Cat II

The 2006 National Endowment of The Arts Jazz Master, Buddy DeFranco, shows us he still knows how to swing in this exciting session backed by all-stars Rufus Reid, Lou Soloff, Joe Cohn, Howard Alden and Ed Metz, Jr.
In the words of Rufus Reid, "The music was demanding and you couldn´t mess with it or you got messed over." Buddy is a unique voice in jazz. As Terry Gibbs put it, "When Buddy came in playing from Charlie Parker´s school, he scared everybody because nobody could play the clarinet... more

DeFranco, Buddy - Cookin' the Books

Buddy DeFranco joins with the popular John Pizzarelli Trio and Butch Miles to prove that he is still "Mr. Clarinet". Swinging from start to finish, DeFranco shows that same dexterity and musical passion that made him a pioneer in exploring the clarinet for be-bop and one of the all time clarinet greats. The John Pizzarelli Trio, another paragon of swing, and Butch Miles, who has swung the Count Basie Orchestra for many years, provide the rhythmic base, and John Pizzarelli adds two (voc) in his c... more

DeFranco, Buddy / McKenna, Dave - Do Nothing Till You Hear From Us!

At 75, Buddy DeFranco still had all of his highly developed dexterity on the clarinet, and he still liked a challenge. So here, he can be heard with just the piano of Dave McKenna and the electric guitar of Joe Cohn in a swing-to-bop-flavored collection of ten standards and two DeFranco originals. A rare combination, to be sure, but one that poses no problems for these sensitive virtuosos, who listen to each other carefully and ground many of the numbers in a solid 4/4 swing foundation. Either M... more

DeFranco, Buddy - Gone With The Wind

Following a stint leading the ghost band of Glen Miller between 1966 and 1974, Buddy DeFranco made several recordings under his own name in 1977, although this live date at Rick's Cafe in Chicago first became available commercially in 1999. With pianist Willie Pickens (a Chicago legend who still deserves greater recognition outside his home town), bassist Todd Coolman, and drummer Jerry Coleman, the veteran clarinetist is playing in top form with his pickup group. None of the tunes are particula... more

Gibbs, Terry / DeFranco, Buddy - Wham!

Terry Gibbs and Buddy DeFranco always create a special spark when working together, which they have done off and on since they first joined forces on-stage in 1979; that's still the case during these excerpts from several live sets during a 1997 cruise aboard the SS Norway. DeFranco, who is easily the most important bop clarinetist, is a compelling soloist, while Gibbs has the energy and enthusiasm of Lionel Hampton on vibes. They are joined by three talented youngsters: pianist Aaron Goldberg, ... more
