And Milt and Percy Heath...:) Interesting ! Well I found the tandem of the very metronomic Percy Heath and the more simple swinging approach of Art Taylor more "smooth". But I listen more from the drums chair or the drums-bass action, though I am a piano player. So I must admit I find Philly Joe Jones more challenging, and Oscar Pettiford also more challenging than Percy Heath. But there are also other albums where I found they are too smooth or less interesting: From the "1.st Quintet" before those 4 great albums "Cookin-Relaxin-Workin-Steamin" there was another album, that actually was the first album of the "First Quintet", but I found it outright boring. And I must admit there is one sacrileg too for many jazz fans: For most of all KOB is one of the best classic albums, but not in my case. My start with KOB went wrong. I actually HAD verions of "All Blues" and "So What" from the 2nd Quintet with Hancock and Tony Williams, and was outright disappointed with the more lazy versions on KOB, I missed the pulse of Tony or Philly J.J. and so my discography BETWEEN the 1st and 2nd Quintet is very small or doesn´t get spinning.....

Not that I regard Núria Feliu's voice as very jazzy, but I have always found that the combination of Jaume Picas' adaptation of the English lyrics to Catalan, and Feliu's somehow unorthodox phrasing, sum up for a strongly appealing mix. With the added value of Ervin's tenor sax on several tracks. And Tete plus Peter plus Brooks is always a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
