Dan Gould Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Rickey Woodard and Oscar Brashear on the front line? I'm definitely in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 He was very good indeed; an original; possibly the GREATEST player of ballads on organ. Which is not to say he couldn't swing, of course. There's a lot we don't know about this album. A track list would be beneficial. If there are a good few ballads, I'll contribute. MG Rickey Woodard and Oscar Brashear on the front line? I'm definitely in. Actually, that's what worries me a bit. I saw Woodard a couple of decades ago - the man actually came to Cardiff! and he played a ballad that really knocked me out. But he and Brashear are a bit on the hard boppy side. WIthout a track list, I'm uncertain. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
