He never came here because he hated the B3.

Yep. That's it. Tomes. No synthesizers, no electric bass.

I wonder what happened to him. He used to be a butt of many jokes and ridicule on the BNBB, until iirc someone finally got to him.

Damn, dude kinda sounds like me. Not that I necessarily "love" Wynton. But I don't care for the B3, and definitely do not like synthesizers and electric bass in Jazz. Though I do have an album Ras Moshe did that has a cat playing synthesizer on it that I thoroughly enjoy.

Just Hardbop.

Chris Heaney.  That guy was something else.  He missed so much great music because he hated things like Rhodes or synths.

and did what? Off him? Stuck a Leslie up his ass until he came around? What kind of getting to are we talking here?

The guy's last name was Heany, that much I remember. First name Christopher, perhaps?

For all the taunts he took, soooo many of them deserved, imo, I alwys appreciated his Caught In The Act-type reviews of what he had heard the night before, where it was, who was there,w aht they palyed, etc. Steve Reynolds still provides that kind of input here, and I appreciate it every bit as much.

Ah, I see CJ recalls the full detail!

I can speak on his behalf and say there is so much incredible music out there without either of those instruments, that he hasn't missed all that much. I love those instruments in other genres, just not Jazz. I love my Jazz 100% acoustic.

Off him? What are you, Ray Liotta? 

I think he just got enough of the badgering from people who are verifiably so much hipper.

I am not Ray Liotta.

I am, however, Rey Loreto.

Well, maybe not. Still working on that one. But I'm definitely not Ray Liotta.

Fair enough

[JSngry]

Not 100% acoustic!

Radiators???

Oh yeah, I remember that cat. He's good!

 

Personally, I prefer the acoustic stuff.

Otoh, just reread a couple of old threads re:Hardbop, and I retract my retraction. Dude was definitely no lamb.
