| Jazz for aficionados Gorgeous “Emily”, Schubert; hadn’t heard that live version. Same trio plus one:https://youtu.be/4Oe4dEeFxJA | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great account of your pilgrimages to Coltrane’s home, pjw. I was there just once about twenty five years ago and it really was a moving experience. Re Brecker:No doubt one of the very greatest tenor players. My contention, and I’m far from alone, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Btw, “What Is This Thing Called Love” and “Woodyn’ You” are from the afternoon set with Donald Bailey and Pete LaRoca. “I Can’t Get Started” is from the evening set with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones.It should be noted that the first of acman3’s gre... | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of my favorite records in my collection, pjw. The playing is outstanding. I have the mono version and the sound is fantastic in its sense of aliveness. One of my desert island recordings. https://youtu.be/_KHUcRFcK_4https://youtu.be/xaO7TM... | |

| Jazz for aficionados pjw, that live Sonny is incredible; hadn’t seen that. One of the few players who can pull off playing without a piano or other harmony instrument. More live Sonny:https://youtu.be/HP3eg6quOdEhttps://youtu.be/dKxd7LoKs2MHi | |

| Jazz for aficionados Always good to have you check in, Learsfool. I will defer to you on all things French horn. I agree about Bloom’s greatness and would add that no one player is ever “king” to all concerned. Yes, things have changed quite a bit stylistically ove... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, re Bobby Henderson: Yes, stride piano. “Ain’t Misbehaving” was written by Fats Waller, considered the greatest of the stride piano players. Great clips, Alex. Loved that “Jitterbug Waltz”. Wonderful player, Henderson.nsp, great Lee Morgan ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, Alex, that explains why I couldn’t find the album you posted in his credits. Please note that in your post with the clips you wrote Fred Katz, not Kaz; that was the beginning of the confusion. Anyway, not a total loss for me since I was ab... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yikes! More later. But, thanks anyway. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the clips, all! Lots to listen to.Alex, I will offer some thoughts later when I have some time. Perhaps a better place to start re Kay is to hear from you what it is about his playing that you think makes him stand out and should have... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great video, Schubert. Proud as you should be; great organization. I have followed the goings on at SPCO for quite a while; ever since NJSO lost Hugh Wolff to them several years ago. Not that I was much of a fan of Wolff, but it signaled that SP... |
