| Jazz for aficionados Hello all. Long time (very busy).I have missed many pages but read this one. Love Dexter Gordon. My favorite tune of his is the song "Tanya" from the LP "One Flight Up." I have a dozen Albums of RR.Kirk. Rahsaan was an underappreciated genius with... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Just ordered this:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2NTGV6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Can't wait to hear Sonny and Art jamming out together! | |
| Jazz for aficionados 010I'm not saying they wanted to sound like Bird identically. Thats why I said "almost" to a T. After Charlie Parker became "godlike" in the eyes of hundreds of up and coming sax players, they could not help but sound like him as they were using h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Art Pepper "Cherokee"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTx7xiVcmc8Art Pepper, played an extremely long version of "Cherokee" on one of the nights at the Village Vanguard comeback sessions in 1977. Before he starts playing he addresses the audience b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman quoted " the fact that so many were able to copy his style shows just how comprehensible it is."There were many who could emulate Parker almost to a T. Sonny Stitt came to the fore immediately when I saw your quote. And one thing is for ce... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks frogman for the link on the one song from what "some consider" the "first recorded bebop album". I know you do not agree and posted the link so I could hear certain similarities in Hawkins' "improvised chords". However it is nothing like wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A question for all. Wikipedia quotes on Coleman Hawkins " he was the leader on what is generally considered to have been the first ever bebop recording session in 1944 with Dizzy Gillespie, Pettiford and Roach.Wiki lists 3 sources for this:1.^ Tog... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O10I have Black Byrd to and I like In Flight but I listen to Ethiopian Nights far more often then Black Byrd. Just cant get enough of "The Emperor" and "The Little Rasti"....a combined 32 minutes of jazz/funk bliss. Some of my other favorites in a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have not checked in for a while. Nancy Wilson is great no doubt about it and I forgot to mention her on my post up thread. Stanley Turrentine is another great sax player and another great but relatively unknown sax player is Jimmy Forrest. Nobod... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso-Quite correct you are about "Birth Of The Cool" That whole affair, although it started around 1949 I believe, so it must be said that was miles first foray outside the bebop stuff, was kind of strange. The nonet, which had revolving musician... | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus 10-I was writing my post above when you posted yours. It is not a coincidence that we both used Miles as an example of the evolution of jazz. and the different directions you can take with it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Most of the conversation/debate above can be summed up by looking at the recording career of Miles Davis, who I believe, over the long run through his contract with Columbia Records, made more money then any other jazz musician in history on recor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nspThanks for the link I like her. Was not aware of her. That's at the Iridium club on 51st and Broadway, NYC. Less Paul used to play there every Monday night until he died. I have been down those stairs to many times to count!! |
