Jack DeJohnette


I have been listening to One of Jacks latest, "In Movement" . I think it is quintessential Jack and contemporary. Ravi Coltrane and Matthew Garrison really swim here and, to me, the three sound like an iconic jazz trio. Thoughts anybody?

jafant, I just ordered that AND I purchased tickets to seem them live at Weil Hall in Rohnert Park, CA

@jafant  no real update on Jack. I have been listening to a lot of Coltrane. I saw 'Chasing Trane' and was sort of fired up again in a new way about his life and music. Qiute the musician he is.  My DeJohnette years go back a long way. I had a cassette tape of him that I listened to over and over during the period from 1978 to 1980, until it failed. I then bought the CD along with come other DeJohnette back then. That particular cassette was 'Gateway 2' and I still like to listen to that occasionally. I know there is a large body of work by him but I find myself more interested in live recordings, even if they aren't great recordings. Live has a much more interesting feel and energy. What about you?  Regards, Greg
Check out Terri Lyne Carrington. Very musical like JD! I saw her with Ravi Coltrane and Dave Holland a couple of weeks ago at the Healdsburg jazz festival. I was as impressed with her drumming as JD's !!
