Acman, I'm sorry about Mr. Wilson. After your post with "Lighthouse Blues", I realized his kind of "Pacific Jazz" is just what I'm looking for to fill that void of what we called "West Coast Jazz". I've also discovered, his arrangements with young new musicians is also acceptable with me, for example; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-sAl1m5cHA While the trumpet player is not "Fats Navaro", or Diz, he's getting there, and Gerald Wilson's music makes him all right with me. Enjoy the music. |
Here we have an interesting contrast between a current instrumental version of "Jeannine" and a vocal version of the same tune; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g74Q07Uu-lo Now we have Eddie Jefferson, who's in a category of one; he's the only "Be Bop" vocalist, he can even compete with "Bird". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khyNZ2VVpF8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM1T51swFYw Enjoy the music. |
