| Jazz for aficionados Here is one more Bill Evans influenced pianist, for anyone interested. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister -Totally agree! Tangential observation- NHOP has been the bass accompanist for Bill Evans. @jdougs -Agree about Steeplechase. Many of Dexter Gordon's best albums are on the Steeplechase label. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jdougs -Thanks for the recommendation. Doing some research I saw Kenny Drew is accompanied by Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson on bass and Albert 'Tootie' Heath on drums. I have a terrific CD by Tete Montoliou, Tete-A-Tete, with NHOP and Tootie. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good Morning Everyone! Thanks for posting Kenny Drew. He's a piano player on a number of records I own. Until this thread, I wasn't familiar with his work as a band leader. Wow! A specific, sorta-related thread question about Japanese re-issues.... | |
| Integrateds: Luxman vs. Ayre? The Ayre "house-sound" is neutral to the point that some people think it's "dry/analytic." | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister-Close enough, for sure. Stephane Wrembel tours extensively. Every year he hosts a "Django-fest" in the NYC area. You may recognize the song from Woody Allen's, "Midnight in Paris." | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant - RIP. An excerpt form a Les McCann obit "Les McCann, a jazz pianist and vocalist who was an early progenitor of the bluesy, crowd-pleasing style that came to be known as soul jazz, and who, although he released more than 50 albums, was ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "By any chance did you get the new (2020 release) release of the 2 of them live at The Penthouse in 1962 titled OW! on vinyl? I purchased the CD the day it came out. The sonics on the CD are very good." I just purchased Ow! at my local CD re-sal... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -Love Illinois Jacquet's rendition! Thanks for sharing. Jo Jones' drumming sounds like the IRT going over the 125th St subway bridge, late at night. Danny Gatton is under appreciated. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -that is interesting. I do like Jimmy Forest's grittier version. I didn't know there were so many to choose from :-) Forest's saxophone reminds me of the sax on this song- | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of Hammond B3 players, is anyone familiar with Joey DeFrancesco? On this song, Joey has a wonderful solo starting at 2:52. And the rest of the musicians are awesome, too! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -Smith's Foxy Lady is terrific. Thanks for sharing! @mahgister -Love the fat tone of a Hammond B3, also. Because of the posthumous CD /record releases, I find Hendrix's music inconsistent. Up to Band of Gypsys, when Hendrix is good, h... | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? FWIW-Anyone who lives within striking distance of NYC can see Ed Cherry at Smalls Jazz Club, 1/8/2024. I believe there is a live stream, also. https://www.smallslive.com/events/27013-ed-cherry-trio/ | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim -Thank you. I have "The Individualism..." look at THAT band! I'll give your recommendation a listen. @acman3 -Going to give your recommendation a listen, also. Just throwing this question out here-if Hendrix had lived, would he have... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Anyone here like Gil Evans? Some of Miles Davis' best albums are arranged by Gil Evans. Later, he did terrific arrangements of blues standards like "Spoonful." About a month ago I got "The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix." Terr... |
