| Jazz for aficionados The 70s decade was the worst by far when it concerned jazz music/artists. Michael Brecker was 21 in 1970 so I can see how people can look back on his first 10 years of preforming as pretty crappy. Especially jazz people (listeners and artists). ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister The very best of Michael Brecker ... I try to stay away from "best of" and "compilation" albums while using Spotify because I want to know the source of each song. What was the original album it was on, what year was the album rele... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks froggy for that Jack Wilkens link. Never knew of him. Ic Michael Brecker credits. I will be listening to that when I leave for Tennessee today. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I am ashamed to say that i had no Michael Brecker albums... Stop it already! We are all posting music, as are you, that some of us never listened to. I listen to all of your suggestions. Like this Jamie Saft Quartet - Blue Dream ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Thanks as always. I have "Tales from the Hudson" on CD for a long time. It is the "unknown" Michael Brecker music that you post/posted here that I like. Keep it coming please.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Thanks for "checking in". I always appreciate your contributions. I know how much you like Michael Brecker, and I believe you once posted here on JFA that he is your favorite tenor post Coltrane/Rollins/Henderson. I have been listening... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Great example of Grolnick. Donald Fagen and Walter Brecker supposedly stated "Don Grolnick keyboard vamps so solid you could set your watch by them." Took that quote from Wiki (noat always the best source). | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Thanks for the Grolnick recommendations. I had already contemplated creating a Don Grolnick playlist on Spotify and after listening to your suggestions and "Smokin' in the Pit" by Steps Ahead (I believe Grolnick's only date with Steps) ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Been listening extensively to this playlist for over a week now. Michael Brecker’s brilliance on the tenor is on another level. Steps Ahead - playlist by Paul Irishman | Spotify Vibraphonist Mike Mainieri’s rhythm laying down extended gr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Love all things Zorn. Very prolific, and most his stuff is not on streaming so you have to hunt it down and keep up. Very hard in these busy days. I found all but 2 of the total of 32 "Book of Angels" sessions on Spotify. I found all ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I picked up the self titled album when it came out in 1983. Great band. I have every album til Brecker's death. Are you referring to the Brecker Brothers Band or Steps Ahead? Breckers "debut" album was released more then a decade af... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now here is some really good music that you can definitely describe as jazz. The band is called "Steps Ahead". From Wiki The group arose out of spontaneous sessions at Seventh Avenue South, a jazz club in New York City owned by saxophonist Michae... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister This John Zorn CD I bought years ago and had mixed feelings about it and a few other Zorn CDs I purchased. It goes without saying that if you are having mixed feelings (or second thoughts) about an artist, you will stop spending your ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I enjoy DiMeola’s acoustic playing. I saw RTF on the Romantic Warrior tour and much preferred the acoustic portion of the show. Wish I could have seen them early on, with Bill Connors.. Plus 1 Bill Conners. Great guitarist not as rec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I’m listening to Bill Jennings & Leo Parker, Billy In The Lions Den. Definitely not a good recording, but an easy to listen to album. Great find! I had never heard of this. For more great baritone players check out Ronnie C... |
