Nope, nope and nope, though the first two are in approximately the right area. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Gee Baby could pass for Johnny Guitar under a very casual microscope, but I'm not convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right to remain unconvinced, it's not Johnny Guitar. Is Johnny Guitar well known? This guy is. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Is J.G. Watson well known? Maybe not like N.K. Cole, but within certain communities, his legacy is still alive a lot more more than many of his generation(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'll go with a wild guess and say Jimmy Raney on #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he IS well known MG 8 hours ago, Milestones said: I'll go with a wild guess and say Jimmy Raney on #3. Nope. I'm not at all familiar with Raney's playing - it's likely I've NEVER heard him - so I don't know if that's a good guess or not. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Well, I'm done guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Track #10 is interesting as the alto saxophonist plays a phrase that Johnny Hodges often played in his solos. This is not Johnny Hodges though. There is not the extra level of bluesiness and not the broad tone. Track #12 is great. The tenor saxophonist plays with pure soulful power. I would buy this in a second, once I know what it is. Track #14 is also great. It has such energy, and all of the soloists play with such feeling and power. I would also like to buy this one!

Yes, the band on #10 has a number of interesting points of comparison to Ellington's. Yes, I agree with everything you've said about 12 & 14, Bill MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
