sonnyhill Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 What would be your utimate Quintet? Mine: Sonny Rollins - Tenor Woody Shaw - Trumpet Philly Joe Jones - Drums Wilbur Ware - Bass Andrew Hill - Piano Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 How about a greazy quintet: Organ: Big John Patton Guitar: Grant Green Trumpet: Blue Mitchell Tenor: Joe Henderson Drums: Ben Dixon Quote
Guest Mnytime Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 (edited) Really depends on the style of Jazz For old school Bean/Pres-Tenor Satchmo-Trumpet Art Tatum-Piano Blanton-Bass Sonny Greer-Drums Can't choose between Bean and Pres. I like them equally. For the more straight ahead Coltrane-Tenor Miles-Trumpet Monk-Piano Mingus-Bass Roach-Drums If you replace Alto For Tenor than Bird For the more out Coltrane-Tenor Woody Shaw-Trumpet Ed Blackwell-Drums Charlie Haden-Bass Piano-Andrew Hill If you replace Alto For Tenor than Dolphy For the free Evan Parker-Tenor or Alto Joe McPhee-Trumpet Hamid Drake-Drums Paul Rogers-Bass Cecil Taylor-Piano Edited June 7, 2003 by Mnytime Quote
Ed S Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Dexter on tenor Kenny Dorham on trumpet Niels Henning Orsted Pederson on Bass Kenny Clarke on drums Sonny Clark on Piano Quote
Ed S Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Greg Osby - Alto Terence Blanchard - Trumpet Jason Moran - Piano Ralph Peterson - Drums Tarus Mateen - Bass Quote
Ed S Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I'd also take Dave Holland's recent band as is: Holland, Nelson, Potter, Kilson, Eubanks Quote
brownie Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Clifford Brown Charlie Parker Horace Silver Wilbur Ware Art Blakey Bud Powell or Thelonious Monk should be the piano player but Silver would make this a real unit. Wish I could have this on an album. Quote
brownie Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 My ultimate avant-garde quintet would be: Don Cherry Albert Ayler Cecil Taylor Henry Grimes Sonny Murray Quote
Soul Stream Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Here' a quartet that I think would have been a great one together in, say...1968.... John Patton-organ Billy Higgins-drums Lee Morgan-trumpet Joe Henderson-sax Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Don Cherry Eric Dolphy Grachan Moncur III Richard Davis Ed Blackwell But, really, Bird Fats Navarro Bud Powell Tommy Potter Max Roach Quote
paul secor Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 I have to go with a starting ten: Cecil Taylor's left and right hands. Quote
.:.impossible Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Not a starting five, but an interesting quintet maybe... Walt Dickerson .:. vibraphone Sun Ra .:. piano, electronic keyboards Andrew Hill .:. piano Jimmy Garrison .:. bass Richard Davis .:. bass Gilmore would be there too, but he wouldn't be unlisted. He would be playing percussion and the occassional reed. Quote
JSngry Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 For a chage of pace, howzabout... Helen Merrill, Steve Lacy, Paul Bley, Gary Peacock, and Daniel Humair. All ballads and waltzes, of course. Ran Blake can sub when Bley's unavailable. Quote
BruceH Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Clifford Brown Tina Brooks Sonny Clark Butch Warren Billy Higgins Quote
