king ubu Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 the Yusef Lateef group also played things like balloons... And Hal Russell played a mean tenor (if he wanted), just to add to the above listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I just received a super obscure LP which introduced me to a British guy who played with John Mayall and made a single jazz album with the likes of Curtis Amy, Hadley Caliman, Vi Redd and Joe Pass: Johnny Almond. That would be the "Almond" half of The Mark-Almond Band, an early 70s "jazz-rock" band that Dannie Richmond left Mingus to join. Not to be confused with today's Marc Almond Band, of whom surely I'm not the only one who chuckled at being the only one who recognized the homophonic name from decades past.

JSngry Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 but did they play eyebrows? Only those which they managed to raise. Billy was pretty a pretty tasty guitarist, if the few examples I've heard are any indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Benny Goodman played the eye, and also some clarinet... Tubby Hayes, vibraphone and saxophone Lionel Hampton, piano, drums and vibraphone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I believe Jaki Byard also played piano. (...in addition to saxophone and trumpet) And Herbie Mann and Sam Most both play(ed) a nice tenor sax, in addition to flute. Than again, flute/sax doubling isn't much of a novelty.

Jim R Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 The first name that popped into my head when I saw this was Bill Champlin (Sons of Champlin / Chicago), who is a great singer, writer, and plays keyboards, guitar and reeds. I once heard that he also plays drums quite well (I don't doubt it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
