I discovered Parker from reading the liner notes of "Steamin" and from the title "Parkeriana" of Mingus, my only LPs then. And I noticed that saxophonists were crazy about Charlie Parker and if you listened to Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy AND Charlie Parker, you were hip. Later I got acquainted to Jackie McLean too, and those four alto players are the sound I have in my ears. But I also heard Arthur Blythe and Donald Harrison do great things....., what I don´t like are more syrop sounds on alto, I think the alto must be "sugar free" for my tastes ..... Quote
nighthawk68 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Posted June 13, 2022 Been on a Sam Noto and Ronnie Cuber kick lately and this checks off both boxes. Some fine originals and some spirited playing. Quote

Afterwards, their manager convinced them to chase radio hits with the wretched rock-oriented 'Grass', a one-shot on Capitol. A four-year recording hiatus followed. Expand Bill, I agree with you re: Lovesick. I think it's one of their finest. Gotta say though: I sorta like Grass. I think J&R were just trying to move into more contemporary territory -- and it works for me. OTOH, I think Changes, the album that preceded Lovesick is MUCH less musically interesting than Grass. I would point to Changes as their least successful "crossover" attempt. Quote
