AL COHN / BILL PERKINS

THE BROTHERS!

Description:
Al Cohn, Bill Perkins and Richie Kamuca share two important communalities: spending formative years as members of Woody Herman's orchestra and being profoundly influenced by the rounded tone and impeccable lyricism of Lester Young. Those two musical worlds first converged in the 1947 Herd whose new book was shaped by the arrangements of Ralph Burns, Jimmy Giuffre and Cohn and whose decidedly Lestorian tenor section Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and Herbie Steward was spotlighted along with baritone saxophonist Serge Chaloff on Giuffre's Four Brothers. The success of that piece led to recording projects like the 1949 Prestige session Stan Getz And His Four Brothers with Sims, Cohn, Allen Eager and Brew Moore. As its album title implies, this 1955 session is also an outgrowth of that phenomenon. These "brothers" projects, though competitive, were more co operative in spirit and done with the grace one would expect of any Pres disciple. This was the first and only meeting by this tenor triumvirate. The following year, Perkins and Kamuca would cut a couple of albums together in Los Angeles and Al Cohn would renew his relationship with Zoot Sims. It was Cohn and Sims who carried on the tradition for the next two decades.
