| 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... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Still going strong on Sunday morning..... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have been enjoying my "jazz on Sunday mornings" for over 3 hours now. Louis Hayes also plays drums on this great Horace Silver album, of which the 9th edition of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings places the album among its suggested "Core ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lastly, as time marched on many of the supposedly “obscure” players posted weren’t that obscure at all. This drummer fits into this quoted category. A drummer, Louis Hayes, 86 years old and still with us, that is obscure to most but not us jazz... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The drummers on all three albums I presented, Philly Joe Jones, Jimmy Cobb, and Art Blakey represent three of the greatest drummers in jazz history. The same could be said about the bass players, Paul Chambers on the Miles Davis sessions, and Sam... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I can’t imagine ever being “bored” with the existing supply of great recordings by great players. I can definitely agree with this statement. And before I started to use Spotify to give a "test listen" I purchased a lot of CDs that I wished I h... |
