| Jazz for aficionados 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... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 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... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 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. | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp thanks I purchased "Roman Nights" a month or so back when we were discussing Harrell here. A very fine session. I have 16 Phil Woods discs (a couple have Harrell on Trumpet). MY favorite right now has been "Images" with Phil Woods and the Mic... | |

| Jazz for aficionados frogman I like the Harrell selections you posted. I noticed they were all from Harrell's younger days. Is there something that you don't like about his output since 2000? | |

| Jazz for aficionados nsp "High Pressure" is on the Coltrane box set "Side Steps" as well. Also in its entirety. When I purchased "Side Steps" (5 discs) and "Fearless Leader" (6 discs) they were just released and around 35 dollars each which is a bargain. | |
