Randy, although I'm the OP, I don't speak for anybody else; in my opinion you would do better to post that on the music forum separately. Only when a recording is really bad will anyone mention it, and that's rare.
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
Ghosthouse (and others too), there are very much things written about Zawinul and Adderley, so I have choosen to post another sax player and album that was not mentioned, at least not recently, as I can recall. Ben Webster and Joe Zawinul 'Soulmates' from 1963. https://youtu.be/Tqbj4rFEOTw https://youtu.be/YqJi3kuxh5g https://youtu.be/iiSX0fsE-Pg |
Randy - Apologies in advance if you already know of them, but the Rudy Van Gelder reissues seem to be highly regarded. The couple I have or heard do seem to have excellent sound quality. The collection here might be a place to start. https://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Rudy-Van-Gelder-Remasters/dp/B00O50R6Q2/ref=oosr Thanks Alex. Zawinul is an interesting character. His playing on that Adderly 74 Miles Orpheus had posted and elsewhere on the Cannonball Plays Zawinul recording was surprising to me as all I knew was his work with Weather Report. I know he is well respected, but personally, after hearing what he was doing early on, I wonder about the "artistic merits" of his later funk dominated/electric piano signature style. Almost like he dumbed things down as his career progressed. I expect that'll get some howls from any Zawinul aficionados! :-) O - if you can find it, the Cannonball Plays Zawinul is a pretty strong collection. |
****What I don’t get is this, how can anyone like Adderley and The Jazz Pistols at the same time.**** Bingo!!! We have a winner!! Problem is, the person who "doesn’t get it" considers that a positive thing and an asset instead of the limitation and narrow-mindedness that it is. Surliness is a common symptom of narrow-mindedness. |
