| Jazz for aficionados This is the reference in regard to "Night In Tunisia". It was recorded before "Bird's" health deteriorated, it was when the king (Bird) reigned supreme, with "Diz" just a notch behind. All the players on this recording perform as one to project ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that was the first album I bought by Wynton, it's nice. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso and Mary_jo, here is something that has been posted here before, but it may have been before you joined us; have you heard this before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NMNHBy9NYE | |
| Jazz for aficionados If Mingus hadn't recorded it (though his own bass part was inaudible and had to be dubbed in later) the gig might have ended up as little more than a jazz footnote. But the show was released later as The Quintet - Jazz At Massey Hall, one of the g... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I don't believe you gave the music a critical listen; consequently you gave a "wrong" answer, and now you're locked into your wrong answer. Yes, subjective opinion can make a difference, but sometimes there is "objective" reality.Anybody... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You can't wriggle your way out of this one Frogman, the music was better at "The Town Hall Concert", and since you are a musician you know it, and if you don't, put some headphones on and listen.Like I said, Bird had a white plastic sax at Massey ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I just realized that I have this LP, hope it's in good condition; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZJ_UIrxtOw | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you did the same thing as Frogman, you voted for the contestants as opposed to the music."Diz" sounded tired compared to his Town Hall blowing. You could call Bud Powell "Laid Back", but I say he lacked the energy of Al Haig. Bird was blowi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here is the lineup for Pryso's "Night In Tunisia", the "hard bop" kings.Art Blakey – drumsLee Morgan – trumpetWayne Shorter – tenor saxophoneBobby Timmons – pianoJymie Merritt – bass | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary_jo, although this is a jazz thread it is first and foremost a good music thread.I have heard of J. J. Cale, but this is the first time I listened to his music. Both of your submissions are very good. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you based your decision on the "superflous" reason of a small difference in personel, when "Bird" and "Diz" was what mattered. Never the less, I plugged my best set of headphones in for this audition."On the other hand, the solos by both... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, we'll have to take a vote on those two versions of "Night In Tunisia", while they have almost the same personnel, one is better than the other.Everybody that posts, votes on which version of "Night In Tunisia" is the best. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok this Bud's is for the both of us, it's the best version of "Night In Tunisia" ever recorded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfLVVHxk4IM | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm old but I ain't that old.One can never hear "My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane too many times.As I listen, I'm swept back in time to when I saw him and his group perform it live. We (my girl plus another couple) had a table adjacent t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Coldducktime, I know Rok is going to like you, that's one of his favorite tunes, mine too as a matter of fact; it reminds me of wine drinking lawn parties in the Summer time.Out of the artists you have listed, I haven't heard too much of Abdullah ... |
