brownie Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Liked the Art Farmer version from the Columbia album 'Art Farmer Plays the Great Jazz Hits'! There was also an album by the Manhattan Jazz Quintet but I never listened to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny weir Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) There's a version on Joe Sample's Did You Feel That? For me this is a one-off classic of modern funky soul jazz, with some great cooking grooves and fellow Crusaders on board. Just listening to it now, I'm afraid to say Sidewinder is prolly the weakest cut. Edited November 28, 2010 by kenny weir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 If you count all the "originals" that derive from it or sample it, the number of covers gets very big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Woody Herman did a version of it on 'Jazz Hoot' (CBS). I heard this years before I ever heard the Lee Morgan version. Hilton Ruiz also recorded the tune on 'Strut' (RCA/Novus). With Sam Rivers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 The Anita Wardell vocalise version on the wonderful 'Noted' is marvallous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 the linkage pretty quickly, but I think thaey missed the James Brown band's versions and Bobbi Humphrey's, with Lee doing the noblese oblige thing. I've often thought you could do a nice compilation of Bluenote does Bluenote with all the remakes on the label and with JB and Ray as ringers.

B. Clugston Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hilton Ruiz also recorded the tune on 'Strut' (RCA/Novus). With Sam Rivers ! I like that version--it's a fun one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Shouldn't that album have been called "A Mann and a Jones"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaro Vega Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think that's Blue Mitchell soloing on the Ray Charles Big Band version of The Sidewinder (Bobby Bryant is the other trumpeter on the recording session)...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
