| 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... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @ho249 David Sanborn definitely belongs on any list of great alto players. I own many of his CDs as a leader and sideman. Sanborn recorded on a lot of sessions with tenor Michael Brecker who has been discussed here a lot recently. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman All great choices with Lee Konitz as the stand out (for me, anyway). Miguel Zenon I have a handful of his CDs and like all of them. Mariano and Macpherson I need to make an effort to check out their recording catalogs. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Pwj, Good group of alto players, but you might have to add Parker, because most of your list was built on The Bird! Yes, Parker’s innovations and technical virtuosity influenced not just every saxophone player, be it alto, tenor, sopr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados More alto Benny Carter, in "I Cant Get Started", Live Concert, London, 1966. - YouTube Phil Woods - Freedom Jazz Dance + Ballad - 1969 Paris (Live Video) - YouTube | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I apologize to all ... I erased my useless answers ... ?? Anyway...The best alto player? who's your favorites? Here is a few of mine Cannonball Adderley Quintet feat. Joe Zawinul (Oslo, 1969) NRK (c) - YouTube Art Pepper - Kong... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Last night I listened to this Charlie Rouse album live at Bimbo's 365 Club. Rouse would die of lung cancer just 7 weeks after this recording. Introduction and a couple tunes. Some Words About Monk (Live at Bimbo's 365 Club / San Francisco, CA / ... |
