Dr. Rat Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Ellington, for genius and dignity. Art Pepper, for the capabilities of honesty and self-criticism. Armstrong for genius and humanity. Ruby Braff for steadfastness and "robustness." Lester Young for sublimnity. Tom Harrell, cause he can just touch me (even before I knew his story). --eric Quote
jazzbo Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 David, What a band that would be! Quote

pryan Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Brad, what about Sonny Stitt? For me it's hard to narrow it down, but to choose three: Prez, Miles, and Monk. Quote

Rounding out the band, I'd have to go with Mingus and Tony Williams or Max Roach. I can almost hear their verion of "Impressions". Quote
jazzbo Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Actually, David, that group as it was with Horace AND Randy on piano under the horns. . . that would be something to hear! Quote

I can't argue with that. Rather sad that three of the four died in their primes so prematurely with lots of music and ideas yet to be explored. Quote
Free For All Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Rosolino and Fontana (both looking quite devious B-) ) Quote
Shrdlu Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Hard to choose a short list, but I guess Pops, Bird and Trane have influenced me more than any others. But I like zillions. I remember a guy calling me nuts when I was about 20 because he thought that I liked too many musicians. But there are a lot of good ones! Quote
