| Jazz for aficionados @ho249 I agree with Curious Jim. Etudes is a great album. Here is another by the same trio that is on my desert island list. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Those are great Victor Felman sessions. Thanks for posting. Drummer Stan Levy and bassist Scott LaFaro need no introduction. LaFaro went on to play bass in the Bill Evans Trio (the great Evans-LaFaro-Motian trio). Stan Levy is a great... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I rally like that acoustic guitar rendition of Take Five. Very tasty! And I am happy you like Blue Mitchell's Blue Soul album. Mitchell recorded 6 albums for Riverside between 1959 and 1962 before switching over to Blue Note in 1963... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Just got 4 Blue Michell albums, so I know what I’ll be listening to this afternoon. Blue Soul by Blue Mitchell is on my desert island list. I hope that's one of the 4. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Love that Peter Erskine album. Thanks @acman3 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keith Jarret's first commercial recording | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I wonder if Peter Jackson would like to have a wack at it? I think KOB may have a chance at its best remaster if Steve Wilson takes a wack. But that’s wishful thinking on my part.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This short 45 minute Bill Evans documentary, created in 1964, is very interesting. "Its much more important, Evans feels, to master fundamentals, both in theory, so that you understand what you're doing, and then in active practice developing one... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman I figured you may have heard about Weiss, you and he being neighbors so to speak. And I agree with you about the Brooklyn Jazz Scene. Very hot indeed. A man is as good as his reputation... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Thanks for your input on the Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, and Philly Joe discussion. My drummer friend told me Elvin listened to a lot of Shadow Wilson's drumming for some of his own ideas especially concerning "triplet fills". And here... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk BTW, the "Lifetime" album I referred to was not the one with larry Young and Johnny Mac. It was this: That is a really good album. Totally different then his later Tony Williams Lifetime Band. But as thefrogman said you can hear the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk That is a quote from Miles Davis. I think Elvin and Tony Williams were more innovators as both of them had unique styles that they innovated first and other drummers follow/copy to this day. I think Miles was talking about comping and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I came across the "Crossings" album while searching for more recordings that featured Red Garland and Philly Joe Jones. To my surprise, after the two of them stopped working in the Miles Davis Quartet, they would only record together... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Philly Joe with a great group of personnel including Pepper Adams, Blue Mitchell, Julian Preister, Sonny Clark and Jimmy Garrison and, here's an "obscure player", tenor Bill Baron Jr., the older brother of the great pianist Kenny Baron | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another Red Garland / Philly Joe Jones trio with Ron Carter on bass instead of Paul Chambers. The telepathy between Garland and Jones is still evident over 20 years after their middle/late 50s recording sessions. Fast forward to the 15:50 mark fo... |
