Dan Gould Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 (edited) I threw in Herring because I believe he's had at least some gigs replacing Ralph Moore, though I don't think he's recorded. I saw the later era group a couple of times, including my one trip the Village Vanguard, so I gotta go with Ralph Moore.

JSngry Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Jordan. Not even a contest for me. I dig George as much as anybody, but for THIS group, Jordan's grit provides an essential element that make it a BAND. Cedar without grit can get a little "generic" (but the HIGHEST quality generic) for me, and Jordan had grit to spare. Such a tone! But I don't change the station when the Coleman edition comes on, if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I went with Clifford, but George was pretty good on the original Eastern Rebellion album. Technically, did Clifford Jordan play with Eastern Rebellion at all? I thought the group was called The Magic Triangle at that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 None better than Clifford Jordan. He was the perfect man for this unit. As BFrank noted, the group was the Magic Triangle when Jordan was part of it. It became Eastern Rebellion in 1975 at the time Jordan left. Caught the Magic Triangle live a couple of times but never got to see Eastern Rebellion play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Clifford is the man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 George - on the basis of that excellent first Timeless LP. It was a close judgement call though. Wouldn't Steve Grossman be another tenor option with this Walton/Higgins/Williams lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I chose Bob Berg: he seamlessly fitted into the compositional framework Walton laid out in the group. But they were all great in that context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
