David Ayers Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Amen to Rip Rig and Panic! Best damn ad hoc rhythm section ever. And one of the best album titles ever, which was only equalled by its mighty antidote, Hook, Drift and Shuffle.Some Coltrane memorials have been more interesting for the (original) rhythm section...

felser Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Phil Woods - Musique du Bois (Muse) - also a Don Schlitten production this is not the original cover (the original was better) A great recording IMO. Mine too, and also agreed on the cover. Love that late 60's/early 70's period of adventurousness in Woods. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 One of the things I find interesting about Soul Jazz is that much of its development has been by rhythm TEAMS, rather than by individual musicians, which is normally the case. Fifties Wild Bill Davis/Bill Jennings/Chris Columbus Doggett/Butler/Shepherd Silver/Blakey Early sixties Timmons/Jones/Hayes McDuff/Benson/Dukes Patton/Green/Dixon Late sixties Dr Smith/Benson/Muhammad Earland/Sparks/Muhammad Spencer/Sparks/Muhammad (AKA The Mod Squad) MG Quote
kh1958 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 In 2010 at Jazz Standard I saw Spencer/Sparks/Alvin Queen, which was a pretty nice rhythm section. Quote
.:.impossible Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 I love Rip, Rig, and Panic. An early discovery for me. I just recently bought the LP. Great packaging! This is definitely the most creative lp sleeve I own. Quote
king ubu Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 "Jenkins / Jordan / Timmons" was the first album that came to mind... and Jaki Byard, too - though not specifically with any bass/drum-team (I love Booker too much to listen to those albums because of the rhythm section anyway). One rhythm team that has yet to let me down is Miller/Moholo - amazing, whererever they turn up! But again, I hardly buy an album because of them...This here's the original cover, I assume? Fine album! Quote
johnlitweiler Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 Stan Tracey quintet with two young saxophonists and an absolute inferno of a rhythm section: An incredibly aggressive, on-the-beat bassist; Clark Tracey, a hyper, kick-ass, tough-guy drummer; and Stan Tracey, piano heir to Monk (and to Monk's great swing) in solo and accompanying with off-center chords and rhythms. Heard them in a London pub two autumns ago and for a long time thereafter I was convinced S.T.'s was the only way piano ought to be played. Do any forum members in England happen to know the bassist's name? Wilbur Ware is a prime attraction on every recording he made. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 all the early Luis Russell titles with Pops and Barbarin. Quote
johnlitweiler Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 all the early Luis Russell titles with Pops and Barbarin. And the Louis Armstrong big band with Russell, Pops, Barbarin or Catlett. Quote
