Peter Friedman Posted December 19 Report Posted December 19 My interest in jazz began roughly in the years 1952-1954. I was living in Detroit which was a hot house for the development of jazz musicians in the Bop and Hard Bop styles. I heard 3 of the musicians on this album - Sonny Red, Paul Chambers and Roy Brooks - prior to any of them making their first recording. Quote
HutchFan Posted December 19 Report Posted December 19 (edited) I just put a Chet Baker CD back on the shelf. Right next to Baker sits Billy Bang.

I MUST listen to this again, so beautiful and I remember that Serena (my wife) liked it very much. On 12/18/2024 at 10:18 PM, soulpope said: Milcho Leviev + Bob Magnusson + Carl Burnett .... no-brainer .... I have that and like it. This must have been about the time I saw him with another rhythm section. But I must admit, after some time it gets a bit more difficult for me to listen to Art Pepper. Sure he sounds much better that the more "white" sound he had in the 50´s, but maybe it was too much booze and to much drugs, but it seems that his imagination was quite impaired in those last years...... sad ...

Yeah we mentioned this yesterday, this one I like most from the early Wayne Shorter albums Quote

This confirms my theory that Bud never played better than in company of other congenial partners, like THIS ONE, like the "Night at Birdland" or "Massey" or with Blakey in Paris and all those occasions.... The sides with J.J. is also great, but goes into another direction, maybe this is what later would become "cool jazz" ? Quote

Peter Friedman Posted December 20 Report Posted December 20 Just one example below of why my personal favorite period of jazz recordings dates from about 1952 or 53 to about 1964. There are many jazz recordings from both earlier and later dates of which I am highly fond, but that 52-64 time period is my favorite. Quote
