My dream threesome


Bright Moments

Recommended Posts

Herbie Nichols, Eric Dolphy, Henry Grimes

I wanted to say Mingus but I get the feeling Grimes might be more sympathetic to Nicholls' particular kind of dissonnance and off-kilter timing. Rounding out the quartet--only three?!-- would be a young (Evolution-era) Anthony Williams on drums. I was just thinking about this in the car the other day......

EDIT: Dream team #2 is me on bass clarinet, clifford thornton (above) on cello and....well....Grimes.

Wayne Shorter with Richard Davis and Andrew Cyrille.

Excellent pick! Would love to hear Shorter with Cyrille behind him.

Rollins, Ware & Elvin in the 60's would also truly be a Dream Team.

On that font, I'd like to hear Rollins, Albert Mangelsdorff, and Elvin Jones around this time as well, with Albert shifting between "bass lines" and soloing. (Though we know that Newk doesn't let his trombone players solo that much.)
