BOB TULLEY Quintet Featuring NASH MAEZ on Tenor Sax
Recorded in Hollywood in 1954, this album captures the fresh, hard-driving sound of the Bob Tulley Quintet, featuring tenor saxophonist Nash Maez. Praised for its originality and strong musical personality, the group delivers eight tracks marked by energy, confidence, and a modern approach to jazz. Distinctive arrangements by Willie Maiden transform a classic quintet lineup—trumpet, tenor sax, piano, bass, and drums—into something strikingly new. Performed by a young yet seasoned group active on the Los Angeles jazz scene, this release stands as a vivid example of inventive mid-century jazz and a promising moment in the musicians’ careers.
HALL DANIELS' Septet Featuring ZOOT SIMS on Tenor Sax
Trumpeter Hall Daniels leads a finely balanced septet of top West Coast musicians on this 1955 session, recorded in Hollywood. Free of rigid “East Coast Vs. West Coast” labels, the music stands out for its clarity, swing, and solid musical substance. Daniels, an accomplished studio arranger known for his work with Les Baxter, contributes two original compositions alongside fresh arrangements of familiar standards. The ensemble features outstanding soloists including Dick Nash on trombone, Zoot Sims on tenor sax, and Bob Gordon on baritone, supported by a tight and experienced rhythm section. This recording captures a moment when Los Angeles studio musicians combined technical excellence with modern jazz expression, marking an early and confident step by JUMP Records into the modern jazz field.
