Herbie Hancock was the best "fusion" artist ; his "Sextant" was my pick of the litter.

Psw, we have mentioned Jimmy Forrest, as well as Donald Byrd... We are jumping all over the themes, so will use the opportunity to post couple albums that I have bought and listened lately, all west coast jazz Bill Perkins & Richie Kamuca, 'Tenors head on' from 1956. https://youtu.be/nCfxZPbOmZE https://youtu.be/zovWsLwtwPc https://youtu.be/kzgsOKpivZQ Shorty Rogers Quintet 'Wherever the wind blow' from 1956. https://youtu.be/et821o3OsP8 https://youtu.be/HcvphpzHAJE Don Bagley 'Jazz on the rocks' from 1958. https://youtu.be/cMZ6w0DBOLs https://youtu.be/US9kB467GDY |
@orpheus10 No argument with your appreciation of Herbie Hancock in fusion...but don’t you think Chick Corea ranks right up there as a "fusion" peer? Maybe you don’t - and if that’s the case I’d be interested in the reason "why" if you are so inclined. Not trying to generate yet another tedious controversy here...just like knowing what other people "hear" or don’t hear! Anyway, never listened to Sextant but I found it on Tidal and will check it out later. Headhunters I sort of know. Maybe I need to revisit it. Certainly wasn’t smitten during previous encounters. And that ain’t intended as a shot at or put down of the band or anyone here who happens to like them or their music. |
You folks are like the poker players on the Titanic. Don't you realize that a rapper named Kendrick Lamar was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Music for his album 'DAMN'? Talk about misguided pointy headed do-gooders. This award has always been awarded to real music artist, in Jazz and Classical genres. Damn indeed!!! Rome is burning and you folks are fiddling. Pay attention people!! Cheers |
