compare old recordings to the newer redone recordings

[raynmari]

I am looking to compare old recordings to the newer recordings being redone.

For example: Nicholas Payton on Dear Louis revisting the Armstrong tunes

Roy Hargrove on Parker's Mood-redoing the Parker tunes

The Benny Goodman's combo was redone by...Gil Evans? Well, someone... Any more examples of this?

Gad - there's been hundreds and thousands.

Payton, Christian McBride and Mark Whitfield did a Herbie one (Fingerpainting).

Jim Snidero did a Joe Henderson one (The Music Of Joe Henderson).

And Joe Henderson did a Jobim one (Double Rainbow).

Kylie Minogue did one for Charley Patton (Screamin' And Hollerin' The Pap)

Just offa the top of my head.

Miles and Quincy Jones did Miles and Gil Evans...

And lots of pianists have done Bill Evans.

[Aggie87]

So the question is what tribute or cover albums exist?

Yo Miles!

Pat Martino did a Wes Montgomery tribute album recently

Monk's Casino

Another, a real killer, too:

Bill Holman - Brilliant Corners: The Music of Thelonious Monk

Tributes, that is.

a bill trio tribute, now and then, by mitch forman, dejohnette, and eddie gomez, is a special favorite.

In the mid-'50s Ellington did himself on Bethlehem, much to the displeasure of M. Hodeir.

Around the same time Rex Stewart assembled a bunch of Fletcher Henderson alum for a masterpiece called The Big Reunion. Earlier Lu Watters and Turk Murphy dealt with '20s music by a bunch of artists.

This stuff has been going on for decades with ever-diminishing results.

Why not learn the originals?

I fear most listening to the "tributes" have never digested the originals.

far too many of the tributes, i feel, are just stealing a 'name' to get recognition.

"Recognition", my ass. Try "the record date"....

Joe also did a Miles one.
