Chuck Nessa Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I really enjoyed Cowell with Art Pepper in those live recordings on Galaxy. Met him in the mid '70s and liked him a bunch. We both suffered the same skin condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Unless I overlooked them in the long list of past honorees, some notable names I'd surely include as "Jazz Masters" would be: Gerald Wilson Dick Hyman Bob Wilber Mark Murphy Sir Charles Thompson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm not the greatest fan of his music, but the absence of Gary Burton is a puzzler. He's been prominent for a LONG time, no? And at times he's been something of a style setter, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Schwartz Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 It would be interesting to see a list of all winners, since offhand I have little idea. I get the impression that you don't win until you are ancient. I mean, everyone in the new class was born in the 1930s.

AllenLowe Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) the Jamey Aebersold choice is silly beyond belief. The Lorraine Gordon one is....bizarre. Of course, the Marsalis Family needs the money. In this spirit I nominate The Osmonds. Edited June 28, 2014 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Seriously, Mike Wofford -- lots of fine, quite individual playing over the years, albeit in later years away from major jazz centers With some question marks: Gary Peacock, Barbara Carroll. The latter more into cabaret in later years but a notable player for a good while; the former ... early on, yes; later on, it's up to you.

AllenLowe Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) actually I wasn't damning with faint praise; Henderson did great work on shows like Ain't Misbehavin, which was way above the usual; more than a craftsman. And had a very interesting career. and Barbara Carroll is a great pianist; there is a Bluenote LP she did (late 70s? Early 80s?) which showed how well she could still play and how well she had kept up with harmonic developments.

And I'm pretty sure that Byers' jazz credentials were more substantial than Henderson's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Larry, I wasn't seriously suggesting Henderson; I was only responding to your response to my response that he was a very good B'way arranger; you seemed to think that I was putting him down for being that. on the other hand, he makes as much sense as Charles Lloyd.

No, I was (kind of) putting him down for that -- in the sense that if that was his chief claim to fame (aside from orchestrating some things for Ellington), then why was he named a jazz master?
