''2-3-4'' is an album by American jazz drummer Shelly Manne featuring performances recorded in 1962 for the Impulse! label.〔(Impulse! Records discography ) accessed March 17, 2011〕 ==Background== ''2-3-4'' was not a typical album for Manne. Then associated primarily with West Coast jazz, he flew from Los Angeles to New York City on February 5, 1962, by arrangement with producer Bob Thiele, to be reunited with pioneering tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins and pianist Hank Jones, with both of whom he had recorded at different times in the 1940s. In an unusual session lasting through the wee hours of the morning, he ended by recording one tune as a duet with Hawkins, who for the first time in his career was recorded also playing the piano.〔Yanow, S. (Allmusic Review ) accessed March 17, 2011〕 The album also includes a second recording session at the same studio a few days later. Bassist George Duvivier stayed on with Manne, and they were joined by rising star Eddie Costa for two trio tracks. "The Sicks of Us" has Costa on vibes for "a largely spontaneous trio number"; on "Lean on Me", Costa switches to piano.〔Morgan, Alun. In McCarthy, Albert; Morgan, Alun; Oliver, Paul; and Harrison, Max (1968) ''Jazz on record: a critical guide to the first 50 years: 1917–1967'', p. 55. Hanover Books.〕 The name of the album is derived from its inclusion of a duet ("2"), two trio performances ("3"), and three tunes played by a quartet ("4"). Unusually, the standards "Take the "A" Train" and "Cherokee" were played in two tempos simultaneously, with Manne playing in double time consistently throughout "Cherokee".〔 A fourth tune recorded by the quartet at the first session, "Avalon", was released at first only in the Impulse! collection ''The Definitive Jazz Scene, Volume 1''.〔(Impulse! Records discography ) accessed March 31, 2011〕 Some thirty years later, it was included on the first CD reissue of ''2-3-4'' as a bonus track. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2-3-4」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
