The exploiter could have made a lot more money, if he had taken better care of the "exploitee" Even a parasite knows that he must not do anything to harm the host; he must keep the host alive. In this case the exploiter wasn't too bright. Super talented people don't fall out of trees, and there were people at Blue Note who could have, and would have been more productive if the "parasite" who didn't play one instrument had realized that the host must be kept alive. It's better to ignore this post, than respond to it; does anyone remember "Before the beat, or after the beat" |
Hank Mobley, "No Room For Squares": Somehow, I managed to squeeze into this room 😉 One of about one hundred of my favorite records which during a move and while temporarily laid on the floor, my Chihuahua "Max" chewed the spines of because he was pissed that he was being forced out of his comfy digs. Original BN; great record and one of my favorite titles for a jazz record. Wanted to kill the little bastard and kinda wish Rok's cat had been around. Max is no longer with us......natural causes 😥 For me, if a tenor player had to be picked as being the "eye of the storm" of jazz, it would be Mobley. What I mean is that he is, to my ears, squarely (pun) and very comfortably right in the middle between the swing tenor tradition and the post-hardbop Coltrane infused style. Harmonically hip and sophisticated without getting too far out or with the sense that he was always reaching like Joe Henderson; a sense that he was comfortable just where he was with his vocabulary. Warm tone without the modern edge. Love his playing. Nice clip, O-10; thanks. And thanks for making think of Max. |
After listening to Hyman play The Viper's Drag, reminded of this. I love this stuff. No video. Criminal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwl0uLA4jM4&index=17&list=PLU_nnz-RXpdgHDOHS3YswbyH6s-eDlDNx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnbccXiTesI&list=PLU_nnz-RXpdgHDOHS3YswbyH6s-eDlDNx&index=16 The Frogman: What is meant by 'uptown' and 'downtown' in NYC? Great stuff with Hyman. Cheers |
