| Jazz for aficionados Good posts and commentary, pjw. Couldn’t agree more on Byrd as a composerGood Morning frogman. And, as I pointed out, he wrote "Tanya" for Dexter Gordon’s "One Flight Up" session which, IMHO, is one of the best Hard Bop compositions ever. Byrd wit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The great late trumpeter Donald Byrd wrote the song "Tanya" and, IMHO. never gets his due accolades as a composer. When he set out to record a funk/jazz session in 1971 he penned two of the funkiest songs of all time titled "The Emperor" and "The ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I'm having trouble finding this LP. What makes this so special is the fact that it's the ultimate "Tina Brooks" O10 I have that album on CD. Its a good one for sure. You could take a chance on a 40 year old used LP here Jimmy Smith - Cool Blue... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alec thanks for sharing the Don Patterson Sonny Stitt Booker Ervin albums. Patterson was a great organ player influenced by the Hammond B3 master Jimmy Smith.A couple of those LP's were never released on CD. (2) Don Patterson - Boppin' & Burn... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O10 What you said about knowing when to tell the truth or when to lie is the truth (no pun intended).Thanks for sharing the Grant Green story and the one about the "back door man"Those 2 Duke Pearson cuts are excellent. Bobby Hutcherson on the vib... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O10 that is really cool that you saw Grant Green so many times and I was wondering did he have any personal conversations with you and if so is there anything you can tell us about the man.Live at the Lighthouse gets many repeated listens over here. |
