Doctor Who: The Keys of Marinus (1.5, BBC, 1964)

"I want to speak of your father. You know, he was a very wise and brilliant man and I know how you felt when you learned of his death."

"And his life's work destroyed."

"Oh, no, no, no, no, I wouldn't say that. His work will go on, only not quite in the same way. But I don't believe that man was made to be controlled by machines. Machines can make laws, but they cannot preserve justice; only human beings can do that."

The Saint: The Best Laid Schemes (6.1, ITC, 1968)

"You know, it's, uh, pretty obvious that somebody who knows your aunt's past medical history is trying to drive her mad. I must admit they're doing a pretty good job of it, too. But now suppose the end object of the exercise is not to have her committed but to get her to the state where she would take her own life. Be neat, wouldn't it?"

Remebering Paul Chambers on his birthday !!

Paul Chambers in Manhattan on the way to the Whims of Chambers recording session, 21 September, 1956.

Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr. (April 22, 1935 – January 4, 1969) was a jazz double bassist.

A fixture of rhythm sections during the 1950s and 1960s, his importance in the development of jazz bass can be measured not only by the length and breadth of his work in this short period but also his impeccable time and intonation, and virtuosic improvisations.

He was also known for his bowed solos.

Chambers recorded some dozen albums as a leader or co-leader, and prolifically as a sideman notably as the anchor of trumpeter Miles Davis's "first great quintet" (1955-63) and with pianist Wynton Kelly (1963-68).

*****

Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr. (22 de abril de 1935 - 4 de enero de 1969) fue un contrabajista de jazz.

Un fijo de las secciones rítmicas durante las décadas de 1950 y 1960, su importancia en el desarrollo del bajo de jazz puede medirse no sólo por la longitud y amplitud de su obra en este corto periodo, sino también por su impecable compás y entonación, y sus virtuosas improvisaciones.

También era conocido por sus solos de arco.

Chambers grabó una docena de álbumes como líder o colíder, y fue muy prolífico como músico de acompañamiento, sobre todo como ancla del "primer gran quinteto" del trompetista Miles Davis (1955-63) y con el pianista Wynton Kelly (1963-68).Chambers recorded some dozen albums as a leader or co-leader, and prolifically as a sideman notably as the anchor of trumpeter Miles Davis's "first great quintet" (1955-63) and with pianist Wynton Kelly (1963-68).

Dexter Gordon played the tenor saxophone. His sound was big and unapologetic. You could feel his warmth and power at the same time. The musician was imposing in stature too. 6 foot 6 inches of a man. He played ferocious bebop when he started. However, like Miles Davis, he decided to explore slower and longer sounds, especially when he lived in Europe. He stayed there 14 years. I love his album “Our man in Paris” (1963), especially “A Night in Tunisia”, co-wrote by Dizzy Gillespie and Frank Paparelli. Dexter Gordon is among great friends, Kenny Clarke on drums and Bud Powell on piano. These are exceptional musicians. A sophisticated player, Dexter Gordon is at his best in small bands. “Go!” and “A Swingin’ Affair” (1962) are also great albums. Sonny Clark on piano is trading great vibes with Dexter Gordon.

Dexter Gordon jouait du sax ténor. Son son est imposant et remplit l’oreille. Vous pouvez sentir sa chaleur et sa puissance. Le musicien était grand de taille dans la vie. 2 mètres de haut. Il jouait du bebop avec fureur au début de sa carrière. Mais, comme Miles Davis, il décida d’explorer les autres styles et joua plus lentement, surtout lorsqu’il s’est expatrié en Europe. Il y est resté 14 ans. J’aime son album « Our man in Paris » (1963), surtout « A Night in Tunisia” que Dizzy Gillespie a écrit avec Frank Paparelli. Dexter Gordon est avec des amis, Kenny Clark à la batterie, Bud Powell au piano. Ce sont des musiciens exceptionnels. Dexter Gordon est un joueur sophistiqué qui brille surtout dans les petits orchestres. « Go! » et « A Swingin’ Affair » (1962) sont aussi de très bons albums. Sony Clark au piano échange brillamment avec Dexter Gordon.
