i. LITTLE, Booker: Man of Words

i. LITTLE, Booker (1938-1961)

Man of Words (1961)
Booker Little, trumpet
Julian Priester, trombone
Eric Dolphy, alto saxophone, bass clarinet, flute
Don Friedman, piano
Ron Carter, bass
Max Roach, drums
(4:54)

Dead at 23 (Uremia), Little managed to create a legacy that is unmatched. His beautiful tone could be aggresive and innovative, or he could play softly and delicately, as here in this piece which is sort of an ostinato.

    The uremia was caused by SLE, systemic lupus erythematosus. This piece was written for Nat Hentoff, important writer about the music.
