Jazzmoose Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 I'm surprised to see Lee Morgan mentioned so frequently on this thread. Well, here's why he's my choice. Listening to the Live at the Lighthouse discs (both versions) and Last Sessions, it seems to me like he was preparing to leave the Sidewinder/Rumproller stuff behind and head into new directions, and I would have really loved to see what those directions were.Um...I mean "hear"...

Tom 1960 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Having never been a big fan of John Coltrane's post Love Supreme sessions(please don't slam me) and after listening to the very enjoyable Crescent album, I would have loved to hear his return to something abit more accessable. Hey, that's just me. Your mileage may vary. Quote

BruceH Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Tina Brooks. First name that popped into my head. Then Sonny Clark and Clifford Brown, of course. Lots of others. Elmo Hope, Carl Perkins... Serge Chaloff Yes!! Quote
Joe Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Tommy Turrentine was playing at a high, high level there in the early 60's. Although he appears on several fine Blue Note releases from the period, and could even be considered a kind of co-leader on some of those Parlan and Stan T. dates, I would like to have heard what he would have done on his own with Alfred Lion's support. 3 more? Ed Blackwell. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Me. Good thing there's still time! Wes Montgomery with Jimmy Smith. What a great combo. Grant Green with Larry Young. Another great combo. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 how about 3 less albums? Albert Ayler. Quote

Tom 1960 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 I don't think his name has been mentioned yet, but how about Lem Winchester? Quote
.:.impossible Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Jimi Hendrix I know. Not jazz.Would have loved to have heard more from Walt Dickerson, a personal favorite. Quote
Free For All Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Frank Rosolino. He was in his playing prime in '78. Plus if he'd have been around longer maybe he could have avoided the tragic ending. Who knows. Quote
gmonahan Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Frank Rosolino. He was in his playing prime in '78. Plus if he'd have been around longer maybe he could have avoided the tragic ending. Who knows. I'd second that, though Clifford Brown still seems the most formidable choice. And I liked the idea of Dupree Bolton. He's pretty amazing on "The Fox." gregmo Quote
Bol Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Posted October 15, 2010 Jimi Hendrix I know. Not jazz. As for non-jazz acts, the Police! I wish we had 3 more albums from the bums! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 Another Hasaan recording exists in the Atlantic vaults. The masters were destroyed in the Atlantic warehouse fire but a good copy (at 7.5 ips) survives. It is a quartet with Odean Pope, Art Davis and Khalil Madi. Quote

If Mosaic were still doing singles, that might make a good one. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Nick Drake. Little more than 90 mins on his three initially released albums. Nic Jones A career just reaching its stride with a classic in 'Penguin Eggs', cut short by a terrible road accident that left him unable to continue as a working musician. As it is the small output of both men has had a huge influence on how guitar is used to accompany British folk music (and beyond, I suspect). Edited October 16, 2010 by A Lark Ascending Quote
