danasgoodstuff Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I just signed up for March 4 and was considering doing Michel LeGrand's LeGrand Jazz (with Miles & Ben), Big Joe Turner's Boss of the Blues or Willie's Star Dust (the last two maybe together as they both rework familiar material). Thanx muchly for your input, Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx muchly for your input, Dana The LeGrand is an interesting recording, and one I wasn't familiar with until about a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rep Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I would agree "LeGrand Jazz" and after that one of my favorites and just as interesting "Le Jazz Grand". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I bought this after a track was included in one of the first BFTs - great album. But wasn't there a thread - or was this in the BFT answers? I remember several covers being posted ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Actually, I was leaning towards the other choices, and if I did LeGrand Jazz it would be to say that other than the soloists I don't really like it that much,at least not nearly as well as Gil's Old Wine New Bottles and other somewhat comparable work of the same period. Oh well, nothing like a little controversy...and I was looking forward to getting Clem's input on Willie and Big Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
