mikeweil Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) R.I.P. One of my favourite pianists - I have three different copies/editions of one of his albums: Such sad news ........

JSngry Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 The guy was a truly great pianist, musician, spirit. In his own way, a visionary, albeit not a particularly aggressive one. Still, look at his entire discography and you can seel more than just pianojazz records, there's a real breadth there. His loss is significant. Thoughts, prayers, and...sadness. RIP.

Hardbopjazz Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Stanley showing some other big time pianists pointers at the Vanguard. Jason, Fred and Ethan soaking up every bit of it. All three are so immersed in the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Great photo! Here's another version of Cowell's "Effi": Cowell made huge contributions to a series of outstanding Bobby Hutcherson records: Patterns, Spiral, Medina, and Now. Some amazing music.

I never saw him, and he rarely came to the West Coast unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Enjoying this 1999 episode of Piano Jazz this morning, which is still streamable from a 2015 rebroadcast. https://www.npr.org/2015/04/24/401945018/stanley-cowell-on-piano-jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I foolishly missed a gig Stanley Cowell played with his daughter in Toledo years ago, but I finally caught him in Detroit in 2016 with an all-star band (Charles Tolliver, Billy Harper, Jay Anderson and Carl Allen). Although I'd hoped that his retirement from teaching would mean that I'd have more opportunities to see him, I'm grateful to have seen him that one time. Thank you for the music, Mr. Cowell, and rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six string Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Blues For the Viet Cong was my intro to him. What a great player. He’s one of those guys I tend to buy when I come across his albums. Strata East was another milestone for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
