frogman,
Good morning and thanks for that Freddie/Woody link. I was unaware they recorded an album. Just bought it on discogs!
That show with Dexter Gordon that you were at was recorded. I have the CD. I don’t know how many nights they played but the double disc I have does not include You’ve Changed. Its a great album just wish that song was on it.
Bringing up "influence" again I read somewhere that Duane Allman wore out his copy of KOB and was heavily influenced by Miles.
And John Coltrane also influenced many musicians of another genre.
I am not a musician so I do not understand "musician talk" A minor, B, Scales, chord progressions, chromatics ect. is alien to me and I love music so much sometimes I wish I could relate to all that. Here are 2 examples. Both taken from YouTube reviews and the reviewers must have some musical background. The first is a comparative analysis of John Coltrane and The Byrds. The second is a poor review of Tal Wilkenfeld. I have the Jeff Beck bluray Live at Ronnie Scotts with Tal on the bass and to me she sounds ok. In this link she is playing with Herbie Hancock.
Like many rock & roll fans and musicologists I purchase this on vinyl eons ago as part of my exploration of the music of the Byrds. McGuinn and Crosby mentioned, and continue to mention, John Coltrane in so many interviews it was impossible to not become curious. Three would have been no modal McGuinn legendary 12-string Rickenbacker solo on Eight Miles High without Coltrane...….

Herbie and Tal review:
Noope, Herbie is not following her. She is decent but way overrated, nowhere in the class of these musicians. She’s playing a lot of chromatics which are easy and you can get away with in a tune like this. No multiple key changes. Herbie as well as Jeff Beck are wonderful human beings as well as great musicians and they love giving younger budding musicians like her a good start. How far some of these younger players get is on them if they study and work hard. She has a good feel and groove; that’s what matters here. She’s ok but don’t act like she’s the best thing since the wheel and in a class like Jaco, Clarke, and many others...…………
Here is the video with the complete review.
