COASTER, THE
ARRANGED BY GRACHAN MONCUR
GRACHAN MONCUR III's first album as a leader still
gets attention today for its innovative compositions by the leader. The personnel was saxophonist Jackie McLean's working group of the period, plus Blue Note hero Lee Morgan on trumpet. Monk In Wonderland features shifting meters, while The Coaster is a straight-ahead swinger, more recently recorded by Kevin Mahogany with Grachan's lyrics.
SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION
This straight-ahead swinger features some unusual but fairly easy changes. The catchy melody is played by the first part (Moncur's trombone on the recording) while the other two parts provide mostly rhythmic commentary in the background. This arrangement moves back and forth between swing and Latin.
SOLOS: The changes are unique but not difficult. There aren't any II-Vs and each chord gets at least a bar.
Recorded by GRACHAN MONCUR III on EVOLUTION [Blue Note: CDP 7 84153 2 / Recorded November 21, 1963]
