**** ...the what ifs ****
Exactly. Desmond Blue is a gem. Speaking of musical attitude in a player (Cannonball), for me the reason that this record is so good is that the musical attitude of Desmond works very well with the production. Not surprising being a player who said he wanted “to sound like a dry martini”. I love the orchestrations and the way he interacts with them in his solos.
The Getz clip is fabulous! Thanks. One of the best live things posted here. “I Remember Clifford” killed me. Amazing story teller.
pryso, **** That may have had some influence for his habit of making introductions with more than simply the song title. ****
I like that. I know his history, but never made the connection. You’re probably right. In a way this goes hand in hand with his musical attitude. Gorgeous Bill Evans that definitely could fit into the KOB vibe.
Another great live clip:
