paul secor Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I almost mentioned Minasi, but maybe he's a bit to the left of straight ahead. I saw him once live and found him to have lots of Ornette in his conception. I'm not that familiar with Joe Diorio but I like him on Eddie Harris's Come On Down. One person's straight ahead is another person's far out, so you just have to go with what's good for you. Dom Minasi's Quick Response is an organ quartet recording with Mark Whitecage on alto. I don't know if it's straight ahead - it is to me - but it's very good music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 i like some of christian escoudé's albums (e.g. In LA, with Lou Levy and Billy Higgins) (but he did record quite a bit... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Friedman Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I second Reg Schwager. A new guy on the scene is the excellent Graham Dechter Also Elek Becsik should be mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Also Elek Becsik should be mentioned. When he's mentioned how is his last name pronounced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Also Elek Becsik should be mentioned. When he's mentioned how is his last name pronounced? It's spelt Bacsik with an 'a'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 So, is it Ba-Tzik, Ba-Chik or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I seem to remember it as "backsick". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mracz Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I seem to remember it as "backsick". Baa-cheek is the correct Hungarian pronunciation (accent on the first syllable as always in Hungarian) A couple more guitar heroes who recorded only one (or two) albums under their names... Don't forget the wonderful stuff DeArango did in the 40s with Dizzy, Ben Webster, Red Norvo and his one own 78 date (also with Ben). Would make a marvellous single disc. There was also a single late album (90s?) that Gunther Schuller had something to do with which I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 some late de arango can be heard here http://hooksgems.blogspot.de/2010/04/bill-dearango-live-barkin-spider.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yes, on these shores, "Dick" is a commonly used nickname for "Richard". Think "Tricky Dicky Nixon"! Well, I do know THAT... but such things might be used to keep various guitar playing Richards apart, and I'd never heard of Dick being referred to as Richie or whatever. Second mention of Bacsik!

Jim R Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Forgot to mention this excellent German label (operated by a fine guitarist by the name of Heiner Franz), which has been going on somewhat "quietly" for quite a few years now. Some great players have recorded for them... http://www.jardis.de/html/current.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I don't believe Sacha Distel or Rene Thomas have been mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Bacsik, his Tribute to Bird and Diz (or whatever it's called) has a couple of killer Warne Marsh solos. My memory is that Bacsik plays violin on this album, but I haven't heard it in a while. The Warne solos are what have stuck in my mind!

CJ Shearn Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Ulf Wakenius has not yet been mentioned here, and for more adventurous tastes, Nguyen Le, I've heard the "Sayuri" album and like it a lot..... Oops just reread the thread title. He isn't straight ahead, sorry!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops just reread the thread title. He isn't straight ahead, sorry!!!!! Nguyen Le has quite a lot of albums out under his name!
