Grady Tate- Movin' Day (CD)
Best known as an innovative drummer who helped to define a particular hard bop, soul jazz and organ trio sound during the mid-1960s, Grady Tate was also an accomplished vocalist. His drum sound can be heard on the classic Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery albums recorded on the Verve label in the 1960s. As a sideman he has also played with Lionel Hampton, Grant Green, Boogaloo Joe Jones, Lena Horne, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Blossom Dearie, Chris Connor, Sarah Vaughan, Ray Charles, Cal Tjader, Peggy Lee, Bill Evans, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Tom Rapp, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Stanley Turrentine, Charles Earland, Quincy Jones, Stan Getz, and Simon & Garfunkle. As a vocalist, Tate became popular as the voice behind many of the tunes in the Schoolhouse Rock series, including "I Got Six," "Naughty Number Nine," and "Fireworks." Presented here is Tate's classic 1974 album "Movin' Day," which showcases his prowess as a great vocalist, covering tunes from Van Morrison to Jimmy Cliff in his inimitable laid back style. The album features an amazing array of top notch musicians including Richard Tee (electric piano); Ron Carter (bass); John Tropea (guitar); George Coleman (tenor saxophone); Jimmy Johnson Jr. (drums); Montego Joe (percussion); Billy Butler (guitar), Elliot Randall (guitar), Joe Farrell (flute), Paul Griffin (electric piano) and Gordon Edwards (bass).
