Guy Berger Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Which musicians get confused with each other in your mind? Mark Dresser/Drew Gress. Also Dave (?) Friesen, who I think is also a bassist Walter Bishop Jr./Walter Davis Jr. (or are these the same guy? I'm not sure) Anders Jormin/Arild Andersen Pat Metheny/Pat Martino Ron Blake/Ran Blake Von Freeman/Fred Anderson Dewey Redman/Dewey Johnson Clifford Jordan/Duke Jordan Leo Parker/Leon Parker Don Wilkerson/Ed Wilkerson Misha Mengelberg/Albert Mangelsdorff when I first got into jazz I thought Kenny G & Kenny Garrett were the same dude. I'll try to think of some more! Edited March 27, 2006 by Guy Quote
GA Russell Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 David S. Ware and David Murray Gary Peacock and Steve Swallow Paul Motian and Barry Altschul Quote
Noj Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 My brain loves to mix up Ben Webster and Benny Carter. Quote
Guy Berger Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Posted March 27, 2006 David S. Ware and David Murray Good one. Gary Peacock and Steve Swallow I mix up Gary Peacock, Paul Motian and Paul Bley. It's a good thing the latter two started playing with Charlie Haden at some point. Guy Quote
JSngry Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Don Cherry & Don Cherry Joe Henderson & Joe Henderson And all those Humphrey/Humphries drummers. Quote
Kalo Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 I recently had a conversation with fellow board-member BruceH where we kept mixing up Walter Davis, Jr. and Walter Bishop, Jr. Though I don't mix them up in my mind, my tongue keeps tripping over Buddy Holly and Billie Holiday, two of my all-time favorites (as well as profound influences on my own musical concepts). Quote
JSngry Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Not a musician mix-up, but I was just looking at Dusty Groove, saw George Benson's White Rabbit, and pronounced it in my mind as "White Wabbit". So maybe I confuse Creed Taylor with Elmer Fudd. Quote
BFrank Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Don't get 'em mixed up - I just can't seem to get the spelling right: Bill Frisell/Lefty Frizzell Quote
Jim R Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 I hear you on the Walter Davis Jr. / Walter Bishop Jr. And speaking of piano players and names with W's, I always thought there were too many piano players whose last names started with "Wal" (Waller, Walton, Waldron, Wallington...), not to mention all the other W's- Wilson (Teddy, Jack), Williamson, Wyands, Weston, Wellstood, Wiggins, Werner, Wofford, Williams (Mary Lou, James, Johnny, Jessica)... but I'm over it now. Also, I used to mix up June Christy and Chris Connor. Quote
bertrand Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 David Chessky and Chuck Nessa. Bertrand. Quote
Joe G Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Jimmy Smith/Jimmie Smith Jerry Bergonzi/George Garzone Quote
Kalo Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Jerry Bergonzi/George Garzone Good one, Joe. I always get those two confused. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Heinz Sauer and Hans Koller (both of them) come to mind.. Quote
Daniel A Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 when I first got into jazz I thought Kenny G & Kenny Garrett were the same dude. Same here! Dr. Lonnie Smith and Lonnie Liston Smith Quote
.:.impossible Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 David S. Ware and David Murray Gary Peacock and Steve Swallow Same here. Peacock and Swallow both came to mind. Must be the other musicians they are associated with. I also just realized that both of their last names are also names of birds. Quote
BERIGAN Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 to help with Pat Metheny/Pat Martino, Martino had a stroke, so remember that when you see/hear his name.. With Webster/Carter, when you hear Carter, think that really, really old dude!!!!! (August 8, 1907 — July 12, 2003 ) Quote
BERIGAN Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 When I was a kid, I confused Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire!!!! also Bill Cosby and Bing Crosby!!!! Quote
Guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Art Pepper and Pepper Adams Got into a big debate about "him" one night and then realized I was talking about the other guy. Quote
Guy Berger Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Posted March 27, 2006 too many piano players whose last names started with "Wal" (Waller, Walton, Waldron, Wallington...) There is apparently a pianist/vocalist named Mala Waldon! Guy Quote
