Man with the Golden Arm Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 I might listen to David Murray more if he recorded less. Quote

connoisseur series500 Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 1. Clifford Brown. Would love to have seen the direction he would have taken. 2. Big John Patton. I think he has been underrecorded. His stature and abilities deserved more. 3. Larry Young. Not enough of him! 4. Joe Bonner. Beautiful style and great composer as well. 5. Salim Washington. I can only find one cd of his. 6. Woody Shaw. Can never get enough of this great trumpeter. 7. Duke Pearson. He should have recorded more as well. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted April 17, 2004 Author Report Posted April 17, 2004 I wish there were more recordings by Walter Davis, JR. I was watching yesterday the "One Night at Blue Note show" and now listening to "Davis Cup". I like his playing. Walter was a wonderful spirit and I wish for more too. So, which ones do you have? Just Davis Cup and stuff with him as a sideman. Art Blakey and the Jazz messengers Quote
TedR Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 The comments on Walter Davis Jr. got me to dig out some long unplayed cds to listen to tomorrow: In Walked Thelonious (solo piano) on Mapleshade; Scorpio Rising, WDJr. Trio (Steeplechase); and Byrd in Hand. Thanks for reminding me of these. Quote

brownie Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Ernie Henry Earl Anderza Wish Dupree Bolton had recorded one tenth of Dave Douglas'es output! Wish Sonny Clark, Dodo Marmarosa, Elmo Hope, Gil Coggins, Herbie Nichols (the whole lot of them)) had recorded one tenth of Matthew Shipp's output. Quote

Matthew Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 Artie Shaw -- and yes, I am serious about this, music lost something important when he retired. Quote

garthsj Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 This is an interesting thread in that some of these musicians are still alive .... My initial reaction is to list players who were "cut down" before their full developed legacy to jazz could be established. Surely the #1 pick in this regard must be Clifford Brown. For my own tastes, I would loved to have heard more from baritone saxist Bob Gordon, clarinetist Stan Hasselgard, and, as has been mentioned by others, Eddie Costa, who never fails to make a significant contribution to any session he is on, vibes and piano. Damn shame how destructive the automobile has been to the history of jazz! Quote
kh1958 Posted April 18, 2004 Report Posted April 18, 2004 I wish Charles Mingus had been recorded with the same frequency and had the same major label support as Miles Davis. Quote
LAL Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Buddy Bolden ...if only he had recorded just a handful Joe King Oliver Booker Little Another vote for Clifford Brown. One could always turn to the unofficial Philology series I suppose. Quote
brownie Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Forgot to include a great musician who took part in hundreds of sessions but had only one album published under his name: Barry Galbraith! Quote
EKE BBB Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Same for baritonist Harry Carney: wish he had done many more recordings under his own name! Quote
WD45 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Same for baritonist Harry Carney: wish he had done many more recordings under his own name! I'll second that. The stuff on the HRS set is great, as is his "...With Strings" album. Quote
BeBop Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Me. Seriously, some good suggestions already made that I won't repeat. I'd like to have more Freddie Greene outside the Basie Band. One can never have too much Fats Navarro. Quote

paul secor Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 A couple of vibes players: Earl Griffith and Al Francis - I treasure the few recordings they did make. Hilton Jefferson In blues - Willie Walker. A very fine guitar player who only recorded three sides that have survived. Buddy Holly - He did record a fair number of sides, but I've always wondered what he would have done if he hadn't died at such a young age. Then again, thinking about the direction that much of the popular music world took in the early 60's, maybe it's better that I can't listen to more Buddy Holly. Quote
