nemo7 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 The following trumpet players are featured on Arturo Sandoval’s “TRUMPET EVOLUTION” as a personal tribute to the artist’s listed-WHO (in your opinion) WAS LEFT OUT (or perhaps should NOT have been included?). Wynton Marsalis-Freddie Hubbard-Maurice Andre-Clifford Brown-Chet Baker-Maynard Ferguson-Miles Davis-Fats Navarro-Timofei Dokschitzer-Clark Terry-Dizzy Gillespie-Harry James-Roy Eldridge-Charles “Cootie” Williams-Bunny Berigan-Rafael Mendez-Bix Beiderbecke-Louis Armstrong-Joseph “King” Oliver. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 Booker Little - the missing link between Dokschitzer and Andre and Clifford Brown. Woody Shaw - the missing link between Hubbard and Marsalis And why am I not suprised to see that Bill Dixon, Lester Bowie, and Don Cherry are missing? When will we see the Sandoval tribute to Jon Faddis? Mike Quote
Big Wheel Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 WHO (in your opinion) WAS LEFT OUT? On this album? I'd say a forgotten trumpeter by the name of Good Taste. Quote

Big Wheel Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 Generally, when I use the phrase "I'd say," you can safely infer that I'm only speaking for my own tastes. Look, I like some of what Arturo's done but this one, more than almost any modern straight-ahead jazz release I've heard, is an absolute travesty. There's nothing new or inspired in any of the arrangements. It's just slavish, self-indulgent copycatting. A coaster as far as I'm concerned. Quote
nemo7 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Posted March 11, 2005 it's just simply a tribute, not saying how to portray each but how the impression of each emulates. Quote
Big Wheel Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 it's just simply a tribute, not saying how to portray each but how the impression of each emulates. I confess to being unsure of the meaning of this sentence. I guess the problem for me is that it's exactly as you describe it--"simply a tribute," in the very narrowest sense. It's a conscious attempt to ape both the sound and style of everyone who's being celebrated, with no other thought put into it. At best, dull. At worst, a landmark in egotism. I'll save my $18 and pick up the Booker Little records I don't have yet. Quote

jazzbo Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Actually, that list looked to me like an appropriate one to chronicle the trumpet style that Arturo seems to really really dig. There are other trumpet styles. . . unrepresented. Maybe he should have added Mario Bauza and Doc Cheatam. The ringer in this list seems to me to be Bix. We would make a different list, each of us. I mean I don't personally feel that Lee Morgan and Booker Little contributed that much to the tradition. Some great music, yeah. But innnovations in trumpeting? Not to my way of looking at it.

I know you'll agree that Morgan and Little contributed more than Sandoval Quote
MartyJazz Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Kenny Dorham Totally, totally agree Edited March 11, 2005 by MartyJazz Quote
jazzbo Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 Yes, I'll agree, but I didn't think that was even implied! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 (or perhaps should NOT have been included?). Arturo Sandoval. Quote
