| | Benny Golson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Golson was working with the Lionel Hampton band at the Apollo Theater in Harlem in 1956 when he learned that Clifford Brown, a noted and well-liked jazz trumpeter who had done a stint with him in Hampton's band, had died in a car accident. | | | Golson made an important cameo appearance in the 2004 movie, The Terminal. | | | During the mid-1970s Golson returned to jazz playing and recording. |

| | Benny Golson Biography |
| | For a man as dedicated to and in love with music as Benny Golson, it was, of course, only a matter of time before he broke his exclusive engagement with composition and returned to the stage. | | | Born in Philadelphia in 1929, Golson's first instrument was the piano. | | | That edition of the Messengers, with Golson as musical director, is regarded by many, including Blakey himself, as the best in the 46-year history of the group, producing what is widely considered the best album the Messengers ever made: "Moanin", recorded for Blue Note on October 30th, 1958. |

| | Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker performed on an all-star concert at the city's Academy of Music, and the two aspiring saxophonists were in the audience. | | | Golson began to counsel Blakey on a wide range of matters, business-related as well as musical. | | | His use of harmony to support the melody is so great, and the songs that he writes are such a pleasure to improvise upon. |

| | Golson's deep and lyrical tenor dips into some of his best-known hard-bop gems, like in-the-pocket classics "Killer Joe" and "Blues March," and he comes up with some new delights such as the calypso-cadenced "Caribbean Drifting." The title track, with its oblique and urbane melody, is of course inspired by the movie. | | | Here, Golson is backed by a powerhouse combo featuring trumpeter Eddie Henderson, pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Carl Allen. | | | Title track is from Golson's playing in the Spielberg/Tom Hanks movie of the same name. |

| | Like the most of this album, it is performed by the Sextet, which is a modified version of Golson's late Fifties/early Sixties Jazztet and features Art Farmer on trumpet and Curtis Fuller on trombone. | | | Shirley Horn, vocals; Benny Golson, tenor sax; Mulgrew Miller; piano; Ron Carter; bass; Carl Allen, drums; with full orchestra | | | The incomparable Shirley Horn sings two ballads here: the title cut and a post-breakup cry called "Sad To Say." Produced to the hilt with a full orchestra, these two songs are significant in that they showcase Golson, the lyricist. |

| | Benny Golson: Terminal 1 |
| | Terminal 1, Golson’s Concord Records debut and something like his 35th full-length, derives its name and impetus from the forthcoming Steven Spielberg film The Terminal in which the veteran jazzman has a cameo role. | | | Personnel: Benny Golson, tenor sax; Eddie Henderson, trumpet; Mike LeDonne, piano; Buster Williams, bass; Carl Allen, drums. | | | Even without having seen the movie (and please forgive me any undue pessimism toward Hollywood), chances are that this album won’t buck the existing trend. |

| | Meet The Jazztet: The Hard Bop Homepage |
| | From the first notes of "Serenata" (transformed into 6/8 for the melody statement), it is apparent that Benny Golson's voicings gave The Jazztet its own personality. | | | In contrast, the melody of the Al Jolson standard "Avalon" is not even hinted at until its final chorus which is preceded by torrid two-chorus solos from an already recognizable Tyner, Fuller and Golson (who really tears up the chord changes). | | | To close Meet The Jazztet, there is the initial (and arguably best) recorded version of "Killer Joe," complete with a spoken introduction from its composer. |

| | Review: Benny Golson's Funky Quintet featuring Nat Adderly 'That's Funky' |
| | The album opens with a sweet version of Kurt Weill's "Mack The Knife" that is true to jazz standard, but just funky enough to raise the eyebrows of Sex Mob fans. | | | Although a group of penguins farting out this chart would probably sound good enough to swing to, this is the weakest, most stagey track on "That's Funky." I attribute this to a rushed tempo, and perhaps the fact that Golson and Adderly may be a little burnt out on this one by now. | | | With five familiar covers and one snappy blues number, That's Funky is enjoyable head-boppin' music that only an asshole wouldn't like. |

| | I have a vivid memory of a Benny Golson band, looking like a bunch of off-duty New York traffic cops, playing the Bracknell Jazz Festival around 20 years ago, and getting a group of uninterested Bracknell punks pogoing happily up and down in front of the stage. | | | He could have staked a reputation on his robust but smokily tender sax sound alone, but Golson is a great writer of jazz themes, with I Remember Clifford, the Art Blakey signature Blues March and the stalking, rhythmically relentless Killer Joe (which became an acid-jazz anthem) among many classics to his credit. | | | This is a well-played but faintly bland exercise by Golson's high standards, and serious admirers will want to search out the 7-CD Mosaic set of his early work with the Jazztet, out soon. |
