Reunions that are still possible.

[Hardbopjazz]

I would like to see the 1968 Horace Silver Quintet do a reunion. I believe the 5 are all still with us.

Horace Silver

Charles Tolliver

Bennie Maupin

John B. Williams

Billy Cobham

Can you think of any other ensemble?

[Michael Fitzgerald]

There are dreams of a reunion of the band from Perry Robinson's first album, Funk Dumpling (Savoy, 1962): Perry, Kenny Barron, Henry Grimes, Paul Motion. I don't know that Perry and Henry have taken any steps towards this.

Mike

[Spontooneous]

The rhythm section on Andrew Hill's "Black Fire," with Roy Haynes and Richard Davis.

[Big Al]

Pink Floyd?

[Big Al]

Seriously, isn't the lineup from Bobby Hutcherson's DIALOGUE all still alive? It'd be nice to hear them together again.

[Guy Berger]

Keith Jarrett, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian

I would accept Joe Lovano as a substitute for Dewey if absolutely necessary.

[Michael Fitzgerald]

I wouldn't mind seeing Jarrett back with Garbarek, Danielsson, and Christensen. I kind of think that one more likely than the American band, of which I've heard accounts of quite a bit of bad blood.

I'll take both, either, whatever, just a change from the standards trio. I really, thoroughly enjoy the trio very much and always buy the latest release the day it's out, but change is always good. Just to hear what either 70s quartet would come up with 25-30 years on would be fascinating

[clifford_thornton]

Paul Bley, Gary Peacock, and Barry Altschul...

[BFrank]

Cream is playing this coming week. Too bad I can't make it.

[B. Goren.]

Geri Allen , Charlie Haden & Paul Motian.

Archie Shepp with Horace Parlan.

[B. Goren.]

I doubt if it's possible due to the deteriorating health of Max Roach, but I would like to see him again with Sonny Rollins.

Last one I can think of at the moment:

Marilyn Crispell, Hamid Drake, Peter Broztman or Fred Anderson.

Marilyn Crispell, Oliver Lake & Reggie Workman.

All the musicians from my two favorite jazz albums, Etcetera and Destination Out, are still living.

[Free For All]

Etcetera

This one seems quite feasible. Shorter, Hancock, Chambers and McBee.

All players still playing very well, IMHO.

Speaking of Herbie, how about the Mwandishi band? Bennie Maupin, Eddie Henderson, Julian Priester, Buster Williams and Billy Hart?

[tonym]

Me and Steph Ferguson c. 1983. Snogging in her living room.

[brownie]

Walt Dickerson and Andrew Cyrille!

With Richard Davis (or Lysle Atkinson?) on bass...

Jackie McLean and Grachan Moncur!

Sonny Rollins with Henry Grimes and Pete LaRoca!

[GregK]

Dave Holland, Sam Rivers, Anthony Braxton and Barry Altschul

[DTMX]

Anthony Braxton, George Lewis/Kenny Wheeler, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul.

[JSngry]

[BbM7]

Archie Shepp with Horace Parlan.

Ohhellyeah!

[Nate Dorward]

Ceceil Taylor & Sam Rivers.

[BFrank]

Gary Bartz' Ntu Troop with Andy Bey.

I think they did a few shows (was it last year?) in Europe, but I would LOVE to see this.

That was the first to come to my mind, too - and I would like to see synthesist Patrick Gleeson in the reunion.

Ohhhhhhhhhh yeah!!!!

[Guy Berger]

What about a reunion of Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette? Miles is gone but I bet the four of those could really cook.
