| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Santi DeBriano, Obeah. Excellent album. Been listening to DeBriano for years and I believe this is the first time I have seen an example posted here on JFA. Salute!! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk but Dolphy tends to not hit many pitches straight on -- his sound is quite "wobbly" in terms of intonation, overall, and this I do not enjoy. I don't know what you mean by "wobly"..Maybe you can define it another way or post a song p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Re: Atonal Atonality can vary in its presentation from minor to complete dissonance. That being said Eric Dolphy has just as many recordings with minor dissonance, and mostly so, then he has with complete dissonance (I call it chaos).... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey @alexatpos I listen to prog rock and listen still. 70s Sonny I dont like but a few... Sonny is a master at improvising off the top of his head.... Sonny Rollins Quintet - Don't Stop the Carnival | Cascais Jazz 76 - 13 de Novembro - YouTube | |

| Jazz for aficionados Further on the topic of tenors. This LP is yet another desert island session. What makes it very special was that Kenny Clarke played the drums in one of his last recording sessions in the USA before he permanently moved to Paris France in 1956 t... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I agree those 3 Rollins albums are a must have and would be on the desert island list...Elvin Jones plays drums on the evening set at the Village Vanguard. Another desert Island set Coltrane with Eric Dolphy India (Live From Village Va... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I only own 3 or 4 albums If 3 of those albums are Saxophone Colossus, Way Out West, and Freedom Suite you have the essentials... My friend and JFA poster Alextapos is not big on Sonny either (as he posted in a few years back). Not e... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id Well I hope the new knee works better then the old one... Been reading Saxophone Colossus and playing lots of Rollins lately. His birthday is coming up on 7 September and he will be 93! You know all the praise Sonny gets for the albums... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Hello friend. Happy to hear from you and I was digging that Gillespie rendition of Portrait Of Jenny. Here is another beautiful rendition by Wes Montgomery, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb.... Portrait Of Jennie (Live At... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Sorry maybe I should have said "old regulars" meaning many posters here on JFA, besides the three I mentioned, that have been posting on a daily basis since the OP ten years ago. You, stuartk, calgary, mahgister and a few others tha... |
