The Jazz Symphonics/Beginning
When pianist Larry Nash and drummer Woodrow Theus were just thirteen years old, they sat in an old garage with beat up equipment and started a band. The two were soon joined by fellow teenagers – percussionist Tony Poinsett, saxophonist Herman Burns and bassist Robert Miranda. Together these youthful musicians formed the Jazz Symphonics and played their first gig for a dollar each.
Their only LP Jazz Symphonics - The Beginning was released in 1968 then in 1993 Luv N Haight reissue.
Beginning is the aptly titled debut album for Jazz Symphonics. After this release, the teens rose to relative stardom in the Los Angeles area. They were the feature band at the Tropicana and they shared the stage with jazz greats such as Kenny Burrell and Willie Bobo. The opening tune, Athena, which is said to be tribute to the Greek God is more of a tribute to a Latin or Cuban god. After hearing this song, there is little doubt why the Jazz Symphonics shared the stage with Latin wizard Willie Bobo. The band continues with their Greek tribute by pairing Athena up with Apollo. Except for Woodrow Theus’ Fresh Egg Boxes, all of the tunes on Beginning were written by Larry Nash. In addition to his compositional skills, Nash is also quite the piano playing protege. Unlike the other re-issues that comprise the Luv N Haight series, the Jazz Symphonics remain true to the jazz form.. The band started out as an R&B band then they switched over to jazz. They somehow made that switch without bringing too many R&B influences with them. Unfortunately for the CD generation of music lovers, Beginning seems to be the only example of the Jazz Symphonics to be heard. Fortunately, Luv N Haight Records took the initiative to seek out this great album
