| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I feel like I'm on the spot and not sure why. The 1995 JSTOR piece frogman posted is interesting, but I don't intend to post some kind of lengthy analysis. Maybe you should posit something and get the discussion going in the usual sequence. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @melvinjames+1 on Hank Mobley | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? jyadlon, Al Kooper would be proud. "Projections" wasn't my 1st album but it was my first Blues Project album. I soon added "Planned Obsolescence" and the two live albums. Part of my haphazard, unguided investigation into why I was so drawn to w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Your Cliff Notes version of that study is a great explanation for the difference between "thick" and "husky." The player's initial attack on blowing each note does seem to be the difference between a raspy "edge" and a smooth, rich "thic... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? First one this evening:Ry Cooder - Buena Vista Social Club (it's been way too long) | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, yes, i recall that discussion in this thread just recently. Each of those three descriptions has a different connotation for me:Thick: rich, warm, beefyHusky: thick with some raspiness added (kudos to frogman)Gruff: thick or husky with harsh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Played Kenny Burrell with Coleman Hawkins this AM ("Bluesy Burrell" - 1962). I'm thinking Hawkins sounds "frequently husky" on these - or maybe "sometimes husky."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz-5RfdViWEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igKYXar3K... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Tingvall's playing reminds me of McCoy Tyner (RIP). That's a good thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKib8EXXbD4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73VczRfu9Kg | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? "my problem might be a lack of Black Sabbath"A new addition to George Carlin's "things you never hear." | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? @whatjd Back in the day that was known as "Dave Syndrome." You're lucky to have escaped without delving into Dave Dee or Dave Mason. ;) | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's Friday and that Snooky Young gave me goose bumps for the first time all week. Among other things, his gentle touch when he adds vibrato is lovely.Thanks frogman for the history on "Li'l Darlin'." I had no idea bands looked at it that way. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman We all appreciate the spirit behind tribute recordings, but sometimes the better part of valor is leaving things alone. Mintzer's "Cute" gets too frenetic given the bouncy flavor of the composition, and his "Lil' Darlin" feels unbearably... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Duke - "Since I've been Loving You" on Led Zep III was their swan song for me. I loved 1 & 2 because of the raw blues covers ("I Can't Quit you Babe" - holy ****). Then they went in a different direction and lost my interest. Their commerc... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? CTA was one of my earliest. Chicago and BS&T represented the best early marriage of brass and rock. Unfortunately, they both soon went "pop" to chase big bucks. Neither group ever matched their first 2 albums (yes, including Al Kooper's BS&... |
