Not the same person, despite me having assumed they were for years. From your description it´s no wonder I didn´t have no idea who it is. Never got in touch with "smooth jazz" .

Gheorghe Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I got this from my wife for my birthday on december 14th, 2 days ago. Again, she picked up somethin ´ from names she heard thru me. Dizzy of course, ableit Diz is not so dominant on this album. The first tune is wrong titled as "Birk´s Works" but actually it is Bird´s "Quasimodo" and Diz is not playin. It´s a battle between Jackie McLean and Phil Woods, but also very fine Stan Getz. The ballads "Warm Valley" and "Old Folks" are wonderful. Max drum features of course, Cherokee again with those great saxophonists. Maybe I would have expected more from "Con Alma", it´s only trumpet with piano in a rubato style. How much I love to play that tune with a fine quintet, I just can´t think about that tune without drums. Percy Heath has a wonderful feature on "Yardbird Suite". I like his sound also on the fast tunes. It´s very boppish, not them long notes, it´s more percussive style like Curley Russell would have done it, really fitting to the fast bop numbers......

Never got in touch with "smooth jazz" . Eric Gale actually made some nice recordings with Quincy Jones in a (slightly) more straight-ahead style. 'Smackwater Jack' has an 'evolution of jazz guitar' thing/suite (called 'Guitar Blues Odyssey I think) where he covers most of the stylistic bases.

Rabshakeh Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Maybe "smooth jazz" is the wrong way to describe Eric Gale. More of a session musician / CTI guy who crossed over to radio jazz in the late 1970s, alongside others taking a similar trajectory. He was never "smooth jazz" in the sense of George Howard or Najee.

I remember picking up mine at a record show, a guy had a box of JRVGs for, I think, $15 a piece. I had to go find an ATM to supplement what cash I had brought with me. Its an absolute classic of the style as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to call that Bass playing concept a "rubber band sound". Better for Cubop as well. Edited December 16, 2023 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
