Jazz for aficionados

Alex, nice clips of Roach.  Nice player and, as you quote, a more subtle style than some of his contemporaries.  Of course, a cynic might say "a less exciting style than....".  I wouldn't.  I think he is an intelligent player who doesn't have the amazing technical chops and excitement of someone like Jimmy Smith, but has a great feel and uses what he technique he does have to its fullest and to good effect.  Kenny Burrell sounds fantastic, but I think Roach and his rhythm section really rise to the occasion when they have Hank Mobley and Blue Mitchell in the front line; their playing gets kicked up a notch as a result.  

Nice clips, thanks!

Rok, Nancy Wilson/Cannonball.  Timeless indeed.  Probably one of my ten favorite records of all time and, if I recall, on my list way back when I first responded to this thread.  Beautiful record.  One of the things that I think make this record so special is that both Wilson and Cannonball are/were the type of performers who exude a positive and "up" vibe; no brooding introspection.   

And Dorham.  What can one say?  Great player and great record. I think you have a soft spot for trumpet players?  Wonder why? 😍

****Henceforth and forevermore, I will never again change the subject; the subject is jazz. ****

O-10, tsk, tak, tsk!  Please stop, you're embarrassing yourself.  Moreover, you make it so easy to prove you wrong....again.  

++++And of course, a single dose of heroin might be more accurately compared with the price of a single cigarette, in which case the legal substance is still much cheaper. I'll leave that debate to all of you.++++

Where, in our previous and unfortunate "discussion", was the price compared to cigarettes?  In other words, so what?  Not to mention that this proves how stats can always be manipulated to buttress one's point of view.  Sure, cheaper than cigarettes, but a pack of cigarettes is twenty doses of drug; vs. a single dose of the other drug

++++A bindle (or bag or single dose) of heroin costs about $10++++

Isn't that exactly what I previously said?

Now, a couple of observations to hopefully help keep this silliness from continuing to happen:

You could, of course, have said something like: "Hey, frogman, I came across these articles; what do you think?"  No, you, as usual, resort to antagonism.   Even more importantly, there have been several posts recently of some really good music, but instead you choose to go back to this silliness.  I feel like I'm playing shrink sometimes, but....really?

Check out Mark Whitfield (guitar);  amazing!

Here is another ,not so famous, organ player and album that I like. He is perhaps best known as sideman of Wes Montgomery, on four Riverside albums that he made from 1959 to 1964.
 It is Mel Ryne on his 'Organ-izing' record from1960. ,with strong line up that consits of  Mitchell, Griffin and Harris, Heath and Simpkins.
Its a jam session, here are the links
