From Side 2: The Jazz School by Clark Terry; Paul Gonsalves; Joe Gordon; Art Mardigan EmArcy / Mercury (MG-36093) Publication date 1956 It Don't Mean A Thing Take Nine Everything Happens To Me Don't Blame Me Personnel Tenor Sax Paul Gonsalves Trumpet Clark Terry Baritone Sax Porter Kilbert Piano Junior Mance Bass "Chubby" Jackson Drums Eugene Miller From the liner notes: There are sixteen students in this class of the Jazz School; sixteen young men whose grades are impeccable, whose studies have clearly qualified them for a successful and distinguished career. ... [At] the head of this class is Paul Gonsalves, tenor saxophonist from Brockton, Massachusetts. Raised in Pawtucket, R.I., Paul started his musical life as a guitarist at the age of sixteen, in 1936; later, switching to tenor saxophone, he became popular as a featured member of the Sabby Lewis orchestra, a well known Boston group, with which he made his record debut. A three-year hitch in the Army, from 1942 to "45, was followed by a stint in the Count Basie orchestra, and a brief fling in Dizzy Gillespie’s final big band. Then, early in 1951, Paul joined the great Duke Ellington orchestra, of which, except for a few weeks in Tommy Dorsey’s band in 1953, he has been a member ever since. Paul’s colleagues on this, his first record session under his own leadership, include Clark Terry, another great Ellingtonian of several years standing and sitting; Porter Kilbert, baritone saxophonist, who worked briefly on alto with Ellington in 1951; Junior Mance, a gifted 27-year-old pianist from Chicago, best known for the fine work he has done as Dinah Washington’s accompanist; Eugene Miller on drums; and the inimitable, poll-winning bassist of erstwhile Woody Herman fame, Greig Stewart “Chubby” Jackson. Paul, Clark, Junior and Chubby share the spotlight in the famous Ellington standard It Don’t Mean A Thing, and again in a catchy blues riff theme, Take Nine. On the other two numbers Paul takes over for two uninterrupted performances of a pair of great standard tunes, Matt Dennis’ Everything Happens to Me and the Dorothy Fields-Jimmy McHugh favorite Don’t Blame Me. Both the latter numbers, with their solo cadenza endings, are tenor saxophone solos in the classic jazz tradition along lines established in the 1930’s by Coleman Hawkins and later followed by Don Byas. Paul’s own style reflects the influences mainly of Byas and Ben Webster. ... So these are the men you will meet in the Jazz School. It seems superfluous to point out that every last man of these sixteen students has graduated, as he deserves to, summa cum laude.
