ghost of miles Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Spent a lot of time recently revisiting Fats Navarro’s discography for a Night Lights show, including this track, with lots of flamethrower repartee between Fats and Howard McGhee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llk7Prh7s6k&pp=ygUYZmF0cyBuYXZhcnJvlGRvdWJsZSBOYWxr Edited December 9, 2023 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Last week: "More than you know" as performed by Sonny Rollins on Roadtrips Vol. 1 . Amazing ! Yesterday night: " Round Midnight" as done by Joe Henderson on Freddie Hubbard´s "Keystone Bop": It´s a fierce version of the tune, solos in double time....

Quasimado Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Tadd Dameron group with Clifford Brown from "Clifford Brown Memorial" on Prestige doing "Theme of no Repeat". The writing is just fine, Clifford is excellent, the rhythm section of Philly Joe and Percy Heath is perfect - and Tadd is incredible! He often gets dissed as playing "arrangers piano" but here that ain't near the truth - think Monk with a touch of Bud, but completely Tadd!

He often gets dissed as playing "arrangers piano" but here that ain't near the truth - think Monk with a touch of Bud, but completely Tadd! You said it ! When we were that "gang" of 18 year old jazz addicts, I had what we called "the blue Tadd Dameron album", it was a cheap Musidisc titled "Tadd Dameron-Fats Navarro, Birdland 1949" and it´s a super hot set or two sets of bop live. And on each title there is a nice Dameron solo. He could play lines as well as fat chords and often started his solo more boppish, but different to Bud, and ended it with fat block chords. On ballads he had a wonderful sound, and his voicings were unique. I also had "Miles Davis-Tadd Dameron Paris 1949" and "Tadd Dameron-John Coltrane" on Prestige. All have very much solo space for Tadd. And if he would have reacted to the injustice that was done to him (dissed as playing "arranger´s piano") , on "Eb Pob" he plays such a virtuoso solo it would have been equal to Bud. We boys always said he can do it and if he was annoyed by crittics maybe he did that solo on Eb Pob to say "okay if THAT´s what you wanna hear, I can do it easily, but it´s not what I think to do permanently".

Gheorghe Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Monday night at Porgy´s : Kirk Leightsey Quartet......with trombonist Paul Zauner: They played an Abbey Lincoln Song I think the title is "Don´t throw it away" or "keep it if it is your´s", that´s a wonderful slow bossa with wonderful chords. I had never heard it before and obviously it was not on "Captain Kirk´s" playlist, since he had to take out the sheet. It was the soft sound of the trombone, that played the melody. Such moments are the best in jazz. You hear musician colleages doin´a song that moves you and you wanna try out your own version of it for the next time......

HutchFan Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Mose Allison once said that he thought of his piano playing as jazz and his singing as blues. Since his notoriety came from singing, it's easy to overlook Allison's jazz piano playing. (I know I did for a long time.) But his pianism is just as interesting and distinctive as his singing. For example, check out "Devil in the Cane Field" with Addison Farmer (b) and Ronnie Free (d) in 1959: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always love to hear Bud playing Round Midnight, mostly at Birdland on the CBS recordings "One Night at Birdland" and "Summit Meeting at Birdland", And a fantastic trio version is on the ESP record "At Blue Note Café" in Paris. And one of the most moving performances is I think on a Danish video, fantastic version, and Bud seems to flirt with a young girl in the audience while playing it....

Quasimado Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 "So Nice" from above CD ... this Blue Note disc is a compilation of 2x10" records from '53 (trio) and '54 (quintet with Frank Foster and Freeman Lee), PLUS 3 additional tracks recorded by Pacific Jazz in LA 1957, with Harold Land, Stu Williamson, Leroy Vinnegar and Frank Butler. "So Nice" comes from this group of 3 tracks, all of which are superb and feature fine compositions and arrangements (Elmo's) and swinging, imaginative solos of the highest order. Elmo has it all together, Land was at a peak at this time, and this may be the best Williamson on record ... plus Leroy and Frank Butler! Pity they didn't record more ... 3 minutes ago, Quasimado said: "So Nice" from CD below... this Blue Note disc is a compilation of 2x10" records from '53 (trio) and '54 (quintet with Frank Foster and Freeman Lee), PLUS 3 additional tracks recorded by Pacific Jazz in LA 1957, with Harold Land, Stu Williamson, Leroy Vinnegar and Frank Butler.
