| Jazz for aficionados Alex, great posts! That Lee Konitz record is a classic. And Teddy Edwards sounds fantastic. Love his tone and reminds me of Hank Mobley in his sense of swing. As far as I'm concerned you decide when there's enough West Coast.https://m.youtube.... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Forest Flower is a gorgeous tune and I had not heard this live version; thanks Jafant and Acman3. Beautiful playing all the way around.Omar Hakim playing 7/8,. What can I say? Smoking, and the guy is having such a great time. Love it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-6XwSWjwbvMGlad I'm not the only one here ☺️. No "pulling back" intended; and, I certainly hope you are not "done" with your posts about obscure players. Sometimes the simplest things have much truth in them: ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Alexatpos, here's one that was forgotten and one who was considered to be in line to be a star ahead of Zoot Sims, Al Cohn and even Stan Getz (Lester Young disciples). He was one of the first swing tenor players to go the bebop route and was a ve... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alexatpos, very nice posts recently; thank you.I particularly enjoyed the Billy Bean posts. As you point out, Bean is a little known guitarists to most jazz lovers, but a local legend in the Northeast USA area. Wonderful player with a beautifull... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Chazro, I agree that Lew Tabackin is a fantastic player. He is a great tenor player with a distinctive sound; very robust and, to my ear, an obvious Sonny Rollins influence. He is also perhaps the greatest current jazz flutist; with the possible... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The OP goes on to say:****Why don’t you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.****O-10, I believe a thread is not intended for the OP only. Please, give it up. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, not too sure about the saintly part, but thanks for the kind words. The point you make about the connection between the language of a culture and its music has always been one of the most fascinating things in all of musicology for me. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Is it the "big band", or is it the "swing" that you don't like? Care to elaborate and perhaps share an example of one or the other that you do like? | |
| Jazz for aficionados I feel that big bands have gotten short shrift on this thread. This is probably my favorite of them all; amazing sense of swing, tightness and subtley. The article in my previous post refers to jazz players "trading fours". For anyone who cares... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Came across this article about a most interesting study. In some subtle ways (well, perhaps not so subtle depending on one's point of view) the study touches on some of the issues frequently and hotly debated on this thread.[URL]http://www.hopkin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very good Schubert. Truth is that I can be very stubborn; just ask my wife 😊. I assure you that my Dogged Persistence is sincere inasmuch as my idea of the purpose of a thread like this goes. Beyond that, and on a more selfish note, I like wor... |
