Someone posted that Lenny called Ornette Coleman a Genius. Had to check him out. I only have three The Sound museum CDs and this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMpulMxkzoc The folks on the cover, are guys in Africa who make themselves up like women to attract, women???? Don't ask me, I just work here. Well Aficionados, what's the verdict?? Genius? Cheers |
Here is another baritone sax player, that we did not mention, or better, maybe not enough... ’What if I told you there’s a saxman who was there at the birth of bebop—literally, he played on the very first bebop recording—and you’ve never heard of him? And what if I told you his life story is the very archetype of the tragic, drug-addicted jazz musician?’ Leo Parker from an album ’Rollin with Leo’ from 1961. one of two he made as a leader (as far as I know) https://youtu.be/NaYtKiSxDLg https://youtu.be/L0M1HKkv-Y0 https://youtu.be/oRqXpqkgcm4 https://youtu.be/aoL5bWpaBEg www.allaboutjazz.com/leo-parker-rollin-with-leo--1961-by-marc-davis.php |
Mary_jo, that's the list of an advanced aficionado if you already own those artists, but in case you're inquiring, I'm going to give you my favorites that are performed by those artists. Paul Desmond: "Desmond Blue", the old one. I've heard there is a new one with strings added, "We don't need no stinkin strings, we want to hear Paul" "The Wonderful World of Jazz" by John Lewis, has some of my favorite artists performing some of my favorite tunes; you can't go wrong on that one, especially when Benny Golson, one of the artists, wrote, "I Remember Clifford". The rest of the artists are old favorites of mine. "Kind of Blue"; "So Much Guitar", and "Mercy Mercy Mercy" are albums you would find in almost all aficionados collections. "Know What I Mean" by Cannonball is most certainly a choice album. "Winter Moon" by Art Pepper, is one I haven't heard, but it sounds promising. "Midnight Blue"; "John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman"; "Blue Train" and "Time out" are five star albums that almost all aficionados own. I don't know what I have by Chet Baker, but all of those sound good. Bill Evans and Stan Getz has to be boss. Your list is so good, that maybe I should consult you for future purchases. Enjoy what you have, and tell us what you like best. |
