They got it in a couple of weeks ago and I showed restraint and common sense then but yesterday thought "sod it, won't see one of them again if it's still there I'm having it".

Rabshakeh Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 2 hours ago, Teasing the Korean said: The Hi-Lo's Happen to Bossa Nova - (Reprise, mono promo) I think this is one of their more underrated records. One of my biggest problems with the Hi Los is that their music doesn't have much place for rhythm. At least this one has to deal with a beat. Perhaps it leads to a dilution of their sound, but to my ears it is an overall improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which can be a good or bad thing, depending on your mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Pre-Columbia Hi-Lo's had plenty of rhythm. That stuff has resisted CD way easier than it should have. But there is the Columbia album with Marty Paich: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 13 hours ago, kh1958 said: Duke Ellington, The Pianist I have not heard much Ellington playing piano himself, maybe a a bit on "Money Jungle" and maybe he sounds a bit more Monkish, but I´m really a Monk fan as it is about piano. But interesting some of the pianists who play more "arrangers style" like Duke, Basie, Kenton, Dameron made solo albums or so. I´m not sure. I heard a Pablo album Diz with Basie only a quartet..., and also Dameron did albums where he plays mostly solo, I think on that album with Trane, or the one with "The Scene Changes"....

You might want to investigate more deeply. Ellington is much more than an arranger's piano. He's one of my favorite pianists. There are plenty of solo, duo, trio, and small group recordings.

He's one of my favorite pianists. There are plenty of solo, duo, trio, and small group recordings. I just need to co-sign this. Duke was a fucking brilliant and original pianist, both as a soloist and as an accompanist. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either misinformed or hasn't done the listening. And while I'm at it, Basie was a great pianist too. When I think of folks who play "composer's" or "arranger's" piano, I think of people like Tadd Dameron, Gil Evans, and MANY cats I know who play other instruments but can sit down at the keyboard and comp changes in time and perhaps even solo too, some well enough to play gigs, but with limited technique and a narrow expressive range compared to "real" pianists (like Duke and Basie).
