Dan Gould Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I was listening to Roots today and marvelling at the combination of Spoon's voice and Webster's tenor and thought of this poll. I imagine a lot of people are going to go with Lady Day & Pres but right now I am torn between Spoon & Ben and B.B. & Lucille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) The one I really enjoy is Lee Wiley and Bobby Hackett, their stuff on the Condon Mob Mosaic is very nice, to say the least. Edited May 5, 2006 by Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 The one I really enjoy is Lee Wiley and Bobby Hackett, their stuff on the Condon Mob Mosaic is very nice, to say the least. Mmmm, yes! Gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 currently enjoying Jeanne Lee with Ran Blake! Interesting. I was going to say Jeanne Lee with Mal Waldron. I also like Andy Bey with Gary Bartz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I voted for Lady and Pres. Could have easily been B. B. and Lucille lately! Also really dig Carmen with Jimmy Rowles as musical director. And Helen Merrill and Dick Katz. . . Helen Humes and Count Basie Orchestra. . . Ivy Anderson and Duke's groups. . . . Lots of possibilities that are "poll-able" in my opinion.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Spoon and Webster were great together (and Spoon and Hawk and Webster). One missing from the list is Etta Jones & Houston Person. But I wouldn't vote for them, much as I love their work. Another pair missing is Junior Parker and Jimmy McGriff. Their live album "Chicken fried soul" is the greaaazzziest! But I wouldn't vote for them, either. And what about James Brown/Maceo Parker? If there was one man who expressed Brown's vision instrumentally, it was Maceo. But I wouldn't vote for them either (a near thing, though). I'd go for Irene Reid and Charles Earland. Together they summed up perfectly what Soul Jazz vocals are all about. I wish they'd recorded live together. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
