The Need for Speed

[colllin]

Hi. I'm seekings recs for fast jazz and even bluegrass. Please post artists or specific albums or tracks. Even if the artist is just showing off, doesn't matter. Thank you!

My two small boys love freaking out to Charlie Parker's Ko-Ko, Art Tatum's Tiger Rag (& Elegie) and Flatt & Scruggs' Foggy Mountain Breakdown - these are probably obvious ones but that's what they like and them kids live fast

Johnny Griffin?

Roscoe Mitchell uses circular breathing to great effect & purpose and wails non-stop and FAST on "Shake Up" - No Side Effects (Rogueart).

"Giant Steps" and 'Four' & More seem like a couple other obvious ones

I'm sure there are "faster" bluegrass bits, but EMD by David Grisman conveys a great sense of forward momentum.

[Free For All]

Freddie Hubbard & Co. on "Just One Of Those Things" from Hub of Hubbard. (oops....guess David Ayers won't be listening to this).
