Gheorghe Posted 17 hours ago Report Posted 17 hours ago who is on that Jimmy Lyons album ? I heard him only on the Cecil Taylor albums but I am so impressed of his playing there it is incredible. It is the next evolution after Jackie McLean, I mean I could almost say: Bird, Jackie, Lyons if there would have been more exposure to Lyons. Was he too stuck to Taylor ? I read that the first gig Taylor had without Lyons was when Lyons became sick. I don´t like very much if an alto sounds a bit to "sweet". That´s why I like that reed sound that had started with Bird, I would even say I like McLean´s tone even more ! and Lyons fit´s into that categorie. Quote

The Moncur is superb, and the Shepp 'Yasmina' is really strong. The Joachim Kühn Actuels are both very good. Edited 6 hours ago by clifford_thornton double posting Quote

clifford_thornton Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Paris is Wonderful has some excoriating alto from Mr Kühn, which I do enjoy. But worth being prepared! Quote
