HISTORY:
Striking jazz tuba work from Red Callender -- a full CD devoted to his 50s efforts on the instrument, with an album and a half's worth of music! First up is Callender Speaks Low -- one of the few albums ever recorded by Callender -- a player who certainly speaks "low", given that his instrument here is the tuba! Red's got a rumbling, bassy sound that's surprisingly un-corny -- an approach to the tuba that's also informed by Callender's many years playing bass on other jazz dates -- and in a way, he uses the instrument almost like a bass on this set -- working out lower rhythmic lines that almost remind us of a bowed bass at times! Other players on the date include Buddy Collette on flute and clarinet, Vince De Rosa and Irving Rosenthal on French horns, Bob Bain on guitar, Red Mitchell on bass, and Bill Douglass on drums. The absence of a piano makes for a mighty nice sound -- one that's lighter than you might think for a tuba-related date -- and which steps along with almost a Chico Hamilton Quintet sort of feel. Titles include "Cris", "A Foggy Day", "Nice Day", "Speak Low", and "Darn That Dream". The remaining tracks on the set were recorded as part of Callender's Lowest album for MGM -- a set of both bass and tuba work. Tracks included here feature Callender on tuba only, with Gerald Wilson on trumpet and Collette again on flute and tenor. Titles include "The Lowest", "Dedicated To The Blues", "I'll Be Around", and "Autumn In New York".

The tuba in jazz is a rare avis with few practitioners. Ray Draper, Bernard McKinney, Howard Johnson, Joe Daley, Bob Stewart, and Marcus Rojas are among the most prominent, but bassist Red Callender was prominently using it in modern mainstream jazz before them all. This precious reissue from Fresh Sound brings back in print his Crown label LP from 1956 Speak Low, and The Lowest, originally on the Metrojazz label from 1958. To have them both on one CD is wondrous, though the total time of 44 minutes is a bit skimpy for full price. These are sextet and septet recordings with tuba, French horn, guitar, flute, clarinet, and rhythm section featuring the peerless bassist Red Mitchell, a great choice. They comprise a witty, ear turning, neat instrumentation and a true sonic treat. How the high woodwinds and low-end brass complement each other is nothing less than remarkable. The best evidence of this unseemly union is heard on "A Foggy Day," with bowed overcast bass, a bell chime like Callender, and beautiful counterpoint between the mysterious instruments perfectly evoking a steamy lighthouse scene on Hermosa Beach. Very much like Yusef Lateef of this time period, the exotic tone of "Speak Low" meshes Buddy Collette's flute with the tuba and understated percussion. Both are definitive pieces of conceptual jazz brilliance, and highlight the 1956 sessions. There's also the exquisitely melancholic "In a Sentimental Mood," and Callender's original "Cris," epitomizing California cool. The four tracks from 1958 sport the septet, featuring muted trumpeter Gerald Wilson and pianist Gerald Wiggins, also with Collette and Mitchell. They do a pensive, long distance, West Coast viewpoint on "Autumn in New York," a fun "Dedicated to the Blues" fronted by flute and tuba with trumpet chiming in after the fact of the melody, and an irresistible bopper "The Lowest," exhibiting the most energy of the disc. There are those who don't much care for the tuba in any context, and others who've had difficulty swinging with it. Callender had few problems, either wielding it or making it sound assured and cohesive on this recommended recording.
Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide

In the mid-Fifties Red Callender began working on a series of combos with experimental instrumentations. One line of continuity was his use of tuba, which because of its unexplored potential, was very close to him. His execution is clean, with good tonal definition and technique. He thought the most important thing of all was to be true to yourself, and he felt that everybody had a different message and what everyone had to say was important; communication was the thing. He did all the arrangements and filled them with generous doses of good musical humor. The soloists are heavily featured and the leader plays some of the most engaging and relaxed tuba jazz that has ever appeared on record.
