More live Monk:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTijrDIU-m4I love how Monk leaves his piano and starts dancing (if you could call it that) around in a Fred Sanford like gate And the way he plays the piano - not hunched over in a "trance like" state...

frogman thanks for the links to the Hawes album which I have already ordered. BTW La Faro is a superb bass player. Its a shame he was killed like Clifford Brown, both in their primes, in an automobile accident.Speaking of Monk and Evans - "Everybo...

alex I liked that song "Dulcinea Blue" of Evans’ Quintessence album so much that I listened to a few more songs off it on You Tube then ordered the album. The 3 men playing along with Evans on it, Harold Land, Kenny Burrell, and Ray Brown are gian...

Big Harold Land fan here. I have all of his sessions as a leader and to many to count of his sessions as a sideman with the likes of Curtis Counce, Carmell Jones, Bobby Hutcherson, Blue Mitchell, and many more including his short stay on the east ...

This 2014 session by Childs, a homage to an idol of his, the late singer/songwriter Laura Nyro, with an all star ensemble of contributors consisting of the who's who in jazz, Wayne Shorter amongst others, is extremely ambitious to put it mildly.No...

nsp I had never heard of Billy Childs until I saw your post. He sounds a little like HH. I liked both songs. BTW, when I listened to Phil Woods' rendition of "Willow Weep For Me" it was easy to hear how you immediately and correctly stated the bas...

frogman I have Woods' "Musique do Bois" disc. The version of Willow Weep For Me he plays on that is an up - tempo of the original which became a jazz standard. And, yes, the rythm section on Woods' rendition sounds exactly like All Blues from KOB.
