Jazz for aficionados

@mahgister RE: "Extraordinary Sarangi", when I listen to such players, it feels like they are playing my nerves for strings !

I understand you completely...

I feel the same thing when listening most pop and rock, heavy metal music or rap... 😁😊 

I tolerate only classical , jazz and some traditional music from many countries...

All is learned and relative i guess....

Thanks, pryso for the reminder of “Keep On Keepin’ On”.  Fantastic documentary

What a wonderful musician and human being Clark Terry was!

As a foursome they were well known back in the day.  Individually only Getz and Sims were popular and recorded often.  Steward and Chaloff not so much.

Nice! Great chart and some swinging solos. Thanks, pryso.

As you know, they were well known as a foursome as the saxophone section in the Woody Herman big band of the late ‘40’s; Woody’s Second Herd. A very unusual saxophone section in that it featured three tenors and a baritone; as opposed to the far more common lineup of two altos, two tenors and a baritone. The tune “Four Brothers” featured and celebrated the four members of the section:

pryso’s great clip brought a couple of things to mind: the influence of the great Lester Young on all four “brothers” and how much the concept of “swing” has changed over the years. Young, the “brother’s” and just about every saxophone player of that time played with a light tone, lots of vibrato and a feel good, easy sense of swing; none of the angular, more aggressive style of more modern players.
