What Manne heard in his own group was something extraordinary, and his instincts were spot on. The F-Joe Gordon group featured Manne (drums), Joe Gordon (trumpet) [pictured], Richie Kamuca (tenor sax), Victor Feldman (piano) and Monty Budwig (bass). They were edgy and intuitive as a unit, and each musician had a distinct personality on solos.  


When Koenig and Manne returned to Los Angeles, they faced a dilemma. Listening to the playback, they had trouble selecting songs for a planned LP. The problem wasn't subpar material. On the contrary, there was too much superb tape. Anything left behind would be a shame. What to do? Koenig decided that instead of producing one LP, Contemporary Records would release virtually all of the recorded material on four albums. It was a radical concept in 1959—something of a serial box set. But Koenig felt the music's quality would sell itself. If consumers bought one, they'd be so taken with the jazz they heard that they'd want the others.


The result was Shelly Manne & His Men at the Black Hawk, Vols. 1-4. AlbumcoverShellyManne-AtTheBlackHawk-Volume1l These recordings (today on five CDs) have largely been forgotten and remain vastly under-appreciated. Upon a careful re-listen this week, I was blown away by the quality of jazz captured live. I also believe that the work remains some of the finest examples of live West Coast hard bop since Clifford Brown and Max Roach recorded at the California Club in Los Angeles five years earlier.
