There sure is a lot of "quoting" going on in Jazz.
Thanks for the insight.

Today's Listen: Another one of the promising 'young Lions' I am sure he "quotes" something at 1:37. James Carter -- JC ON THE SET https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlJFnmpfppw Maybe they all fulfilled their promise and I am just beginning to realize it. This guy can play. Cheers |
Excellent! Good catch. He quotes Gerswhin’s "Rhapsody In Blue"; the passage that follows the end of the opening clarinet solo: @ :40 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KPL19IgsEHc James Carter is a monster saxophone player; a real virtuoso with amazing technical command of the instrument. Very exuberant player. What I like most about his playing is that he can play in a modern bag with a tone that harkens back to the traditional, big fat, robust tenor sound of the old players; especially the Texas tenors. Great clip. |
