ghost of miles Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 On this recent edition of Night Lights, veteran pianist Hod O'Brien talks coming of jazz age in the 1950s, playing with Ornette Coleman and Chet Baker, and much more. We also check out recordings he made as a leader and with Art Farmer, Donald Byrd, and Idrees Suliemann, JR Monterose, Roswell Rudd, and others: A Portrait Of Hod O'Brien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Excellent! Listening now. Very timely in light of the fairly recent discussion of O'Brien's book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Now listening. Just the sort of artist I want to know more about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasstrack Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for doing this. I played with Hod in the earliest '80s in Marshall Brown's Wednesday group, and used to hear him with Joe Puma at Gregory's in the '70s. A natural swinger, very relaxed and graceful. Good guy, too. I'm sure he had some stories to tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.D. Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Damn...I was happy to see O'Brien's book come out, but now I think it was somewhat of a final statement. [The post quoted above referred to H O'B's recent book. Hod looks rather ill in the 80th birthday photo on his website.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
