He had what was needed to be a jazz trumpeter – good lips, good sonority, the sense of continuity, as one of his fellow musicians, Joe Newman once said. If only he had been able to control his emotions, his health and his career he could have gone much further. In 1950, before his twenty-seventh birthday, he died of tuberculosis and general excess and was only known by musicians and the handful of followers of the new jazz of the period, bebop. Fats Navarro spanned jazz far too quickly, in the same way as guitarist Charlie Christian before him and his friend Clifford Brown after him. It was through the latter, greatly swayed by Fats, that Navarro’s influence left an impact on several generations. His style had developed from that of Dizzy Gillespie and had retained the velocity and science of harmony. It was distinguished by his desire for melodic perfection and fullness of tone as were perfected by the big names, Louis Armstrong in particular. Thankfully, this disc has preserved a part of this prodigious balance, this fragile splendour.
Rezensionen
W. Stiefele in Jazzthetik 12/01: "Die CD 'Nostalgia' mit Aufnahmen des Trompeters Fats Navarro kann sich hören lassen. Sensationell, wie klar, beweglich, differenziert und exakt er blies."- Tracklisting
