Linger aWhile –Soprano Summit 1977
From the 1977 Jazz Festival in Nice France comes this music from the Soprano Summit. Bob Wilber and Kenny Davern and a rhythm group with Bucky Pizzarelli gtr, George Duvivier bass, and Bobby Rosengarten drs.
Of course both Bob and Kenny are incredible musicians, but in this tune, Linger a While, a pleasant jam tune with a very easy chord sequence, Kenny's soprano sax solo was so ingenious, with humor, technique, warmth and emotion. To me this is one of Kenny's ultimate creations. I was fortunate to know and have played with Kenny in 1977 for a broadcast in Toronto. Today when I look at this clip I realize that this wonderful man has done more for my all over music appreciation and excites me every time I watch or listen to his musical briliance.
