| Jazz for aficionados Sure. Nice cut with a great slow shuffle groove. Could tell immediately it was Gene Ammons playing the first tenor solo. Robust tone with that distinctive bit of nasal quality and unique way of articulating notes. Now, right back at you (all):... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the Pepper with strings, pjw. I will check it out. | |
| Jazz for aficionados There are occasional times when only this record will do:https://youtu.be/j-9AoEGOYZohttps://youtu.be/9yVBhdPuC8khttps://youtu.be/wbZPhLrEpxA | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here’s another one with Getz that is very interesting, if very stylized. The use of voices along with orchestra is a bit of an acquired taste for some. Composed and arranged by Michel Legrand. For me, it is very evocative of the sound of French fi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you liked it; it’s a good one. Here’s another favorite. Interesting and adventurous orchestrations from the great Eddie Sauter featuring Stan Getz:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfOleD7-7Oj90W890D0puroQgM7yTR-0P | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, great stuff. Clifford with Strings is a classic. Not quite with the level of magic on Clifford’s, but here’s another one that I enjoy. Bill Russo arrangements:https://youtu.be/TF6HIL4W6V8https://youtu.be/BGEUjSt1JBwTony Williams: where to begin? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, Ralph Burns was fabulous and is one of the great orchestrators that was part of the genre “spill over” that I referred to. You may find this of interest.http://jazzprofiles.blogspot.com/2018/04/ralph-burns-fine-art-of-jazz.html | |
| Jazz for aficionados The only two that I am aware of that come close to being comprehensive:https://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/95rxk4bt9780252040405.htmlIn a different genre, but some spill over:https://www.amazon.com/Sound-Broadway-Music-Orchestrators-Orch... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, I’ll take that as a compliment 🤔; and I feel the same way you do about Ayler. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice, indeed! The amazing Michael Brecker, composition/orchestrations by the great Claus Ogerman who graced the recordings of none other than Oscar Peterson, Billie Holiday, Bill Evans, A C Jobim, George Benson, Wynton Kelly, Freddie Hubbard, Cal ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you liked that, Schubert. That was one of the greatest tenor fronted quartets in recent times. Michael Brecker was a genius and is so sorely missed. Putting personal style aside he was probably the greatest saxophone virtuoso that has ever li... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes 🤔 | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, you beat me to it. My next post was going to be to welcome Learsfool back to the thread. Good to hear from you, Learsfool. As you can see we have some fine new contributors; but in other ways little has changed, unfortunately. Btw, have y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, hang in there. This too shall pass; been there many times. You contributions are valued a great deal. Your support of the music is as fine as anyone I have come in contact with. **** He was a noise making loud mouth bully!! Had no busine... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I don't think any real Jazz fan buys an album based on who the drummer is. ****https://youtu.be/in5H8Zg4jME |
