Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Charles ... Thank you for the John Lewis recommendation. I have that album on vinyl. On Bill Perkins ... Prior to his passing, he and I lived in the same town. In his "retirement," he formed a group with some local young jazz musicians and they would play at our local Border's book store every so often. A friend and I never missed these sessions. I have lots of his recordings, or recordings by other artists where he was part of the group. Bill Perkins was on top of his game right to the end. Also, the Curtis Counce recommendation is spot on. I have his albums on vinyl as well. Great jazz and great sound as well. Harold Land isn't everyone's cup of tea, but he's one of my favorites. A very distinctive voice that's readily recognized as Harold Land's tenor. Also, the original jacket cover on "You get more bounce with Curtis Counce" wasn't too shabby either. :-) http://www.ebay.com/itm/CURTIS-COUNCE-GROUP-YOU-GET-MORE-BOUNCE-WITH-CURTIS-COUNCE-V2-VINYL-/2916368... wolf_garcia ... Welcome back to the SR Fuse seminar ... your humor has been missed. On the SR Black fuses ..., they have been known to clear muddled thinking when one puts the fuses up one's nose. Also known to clear tinnitus when placed well down into the ear canal. And here's the best part, one that you may want to take advantage of; they are also known to treat acute tweak denial when stuffed up one's .... Oh, never mind. :-) Limniscsate ... I think the general consensus is the source. It sure was in my CD player and phono stage. OP |
Charles ... There were so many great trumpet players in the past, Jack Sheldon among them. But ... Clifford was the bomb. Every time I listen to Clifford Brown I think to myself ... "eat your heart out Winton Marseilles." Here's one of my desert island recordings. Clifford's rendition of Autumn in New York is breathtaking. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLIFFORD-BROWN-All-Stars-EmARCY-36102-Mono-/141436962409?hash=item20ee4cc669... |
Frank, 100% agree, Clifford is unquestionably an all time great and he gets his due recognition. Sheldon is one of those fine jazz musicians who seem to be relegated to relative obscurity. When Clifford and Max Roach had their legendary quintet, it is said that Roach preferred Harold Land to Sonny Rollins. I can understand that. Rollins is by far the better known saxophonist but I enjoy Land's playing more. Frank you were fortunate to have those experiences with Bill Perkins. Charles, |
