Jazz for aficionados
I only brought up Sahib Shihab because it has most of the KC/FB Big Band, and Pwj was looking for vinyl. Sahib was also an excellent composer. https://www.discogs.com/Sahib-Shihab-Jazz-Joint-Vol-2- Companionship/master/289271 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeQhDyVGldjuLO7ywxs-SZ9-wBl4Seq_r |
frogman Yes Getz came up in the swing era and did retain stylistically from that early learning. And yes when Dailey is providing diffferent ( dissonant) chording you would expect the tenor to respond but it was probably difficult to get Stan out of his stylistic tendencies. But within his style was he ever so good. The Huey Lewis cut was different for Getz but probably because the music was written that way. He is only recognized by his tone. Here is another example where he deviates stylistically somewhat. In fact the music was written for him but not in his style as Boland wanted him to play differently. We have been talking about Getz and the KC FB Big Band . How about both together!! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pCGg11AHT4o http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Nr6U0SGgU |
Wynton Marsalis -- UNITED WE SWING (update) After receiving this CD and listening to all the tracks, I have concluded that Wynton tends to take Inclusion, Diversity and PC, just a little bit too far. There are several artist on this CD that don't play Jazz and don't 'swing' in any genre. I sometimes think that Willie Nelson has made it his life's ambition to destroy Jazz and Blues singled handed. He should stick to country. He's great there. Also, Audra McDonald was wasted. Surely they could have found something to suit her awesome talent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zOlugtNz0k But thru it all, the band cooks. The best band playing today. Cheers |
This number will conclude my trip down memory lane of hot fun in the summertime on the dance floor in the 70's. Anyone who can remember the name of the steps that were done to this tune, wins the grand nostalgia prize. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBG3qpYj5DU |
