| Jazz for aficionados Happy Birthday, Paul Desmond!A bit of a stretch, but in a way Paul Desmond is kind of like Frisell. Not “swingy” in the usual way and understated with unusual beauty in the sound. On certain days I might say he’s my favorite alto player:https://yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In keeping with probably the most important tenet in Jazz, Bill Frisell plays like no one else. A true original. Isn’t it interesting how his attitude when he speaks is very much like the way he plays? I always get the feeling that there is much m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados “Her voice looks great” 😊 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, that “Old Folks” with Hutcherson and Locke is fantastic. Thanks.Hutcherson was possibly the greatest ever vibes player and Locke, the young(er) lion. They seem to be having a blast playing together. Beautiful musical interaction between t... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Nice clip, Keegiam. Excellent Bird, Rok. Getting down to business.**** The rather abrupt endings being a disadvantage. ****At least they didn’t fade out. Ultimate cop out in Jazz.Pjw, glad you enjoyed the Steve Grossman clips. Great player who sad... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Btw, I should have provided more info for the clips posted above since YouTube doesn’t provide it.The rhythm section on both Steve Grossman ”Some Shapes To Come” (1974 debut album as a leader) and “Terra Firma” (1977) is Jan Hammer/keys, Gene Perl... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Jack Johnson kills. Great record. On that record was a young Steve Grossman on saxophone. After Brecker, my favorite of the post-Coltrane tenor players.https://youtu.be/9APktSqWT58https://youtu.be/0EwdZfd0RFA | |
