It seems to me that now is precisely the time to ramp up activity here in order to show our appreciation to O-10 for starting this thread which, differences of opinion and all, has been a very positive and educational addition to these forums. With that in mind: Sleepy rainy day here in NYC. Caused me to think of this record. Interesting in that it combines some of Evans' most interesting and at times complex compositions with an incredibly relaxed feeling. As far as I know the only time that Evans and Zoot Sims, a very swinging and relaxed player, recorded together. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X23sKMIRnjM |
Thanks for this frog. I have a number of Evans' albums but never even heard of this one. I've not noted many male vocals suggested here since I've been following o10's post. Here's one I enjoy, a nice matching of talent and approach, even if Tony is more of a crooner than jazz stylist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAxGfEaUoXE |
Hear, hear ! Here is another link, with Evans, I guess the same text could be written underneath, except Harold Land is in the place of the Zoot from album Quintessence, recorded 1976. https://youtu.be/qBp1WESsOTU |
pryso and alex, great clips both! Evans/Bennett is one of my very favorite records and a classic. How can one not like Tony Bennett? The man drips love of singing. This is from their "Together Again" album. If anyone ever doubted what an incredible genius Evans was, this cut should set the record straight: https://youtu.be/2bDFDYhXqPM Alex, very appropriate choice as Harold Land is one of O's favorites. Has always been an interesting player to me with a more modern harmonic sense than Zoot and similar relaxed attitude. Unique dry tone; like a good IPA. Little known and interesting record: https://youtu.be/pSm1pnyki1s https://youtu.be/NT9LGsVmUnU |
