Jazz for aficionados
Frogman, the link I posted clearly states who is playing on what cut. Anyone reading my post could go to tracks 1, 2 & 5 as is stated on the link; if they specifically wanted to hear Sonny Rollins; my favorite cut on that album has existed since the Summer of 59 when I bought it, and that has not changed. In high school, I even had a shirt like the one Sonny Stitt is wearing; they must have been very popular when he bought his; if you notice, his is very shiny. Chill out and enjoy the music. |
This has got to be one of the baddest jams I have ever heard in my entire life, and since he was "hometown", I got to hear it live and often. Like Monk likes to work his jams many different ways, especially when he was live; I got to hear this in and out; upside down if that's the way "Homey" wanted to work it; what I'm getting at, is just like Horace Silver could work "Senor Blues" many different ways when live; Homey could work his jam many different ways, and I was there, with my lady friend, who dug jazz every bit as much as me. This was at a fashionable club where we always had a table close to the bandstand in order to absorb every note that rang off Homey's guitar. This is the same jam three different times by the same person, my favorite is the one off the scratchy record, that must be the original. My computer has a program that cleans that up. Naturally there is no comparison to this and live, but this is the best I can do. Once you got caught up in "the flow" it was like riding on a kite, and "Homey" could work it for 15 spell bound minutes. Every time he was there, I was there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e5FVMt0FVw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eoL8Z4_MWQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyE59uG0nBc Enjoy the music. |
O10, Man, oh man, oh man, THANK YOU for the Eddie Fisher clips. I’ve never hear of this guy and like you said, I got lost listening to these clips. You made my day. -- Bob Here’s a mighty fine clip of the Steve Gadd band grooving hard. (Just had to contribute something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xCwOqL2S74 |
