Larry Kart Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Check out this IMO remarkable Wilder solo on the piece "Mitch's Carol" from bassist Mort Herbert's 1956 album "Night People" (Savoy). The track begins at 32:44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stryker Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Thanks for this. That's great stuff. I don't know this record at all, so I'll be on the look out. FWIW, I wrote a little about Joe a couple of years ago. https://www.facebook.com/mark.stryker.35/posts/771557693009068 Edited May 24, 2019 by Mark Stryker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Kart Posted May 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 All of the Herbert "Night People" album (except for one quartet track with Wilder) and a lot of other good stuff can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Sahib-Complete-SAHIB-SHIHAB/dp/B0013LQPCC/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=sahib+shihab&qid=1558728482&s=music&sr=1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Some fine playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgcim Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 That sounded a lot like Clark Terry. Even that great descending/ascending run he started off with on the break was something you'd associate with CT more than JW. My brother, a CT freak, yelled out , "Clark Terry!", when he was listening to the solo. He was playing all of CT's little 'bends' of pitch on the intervals that CT used them on, he was playing with CT's fluidity and rapidity of thought. I never associated JW with CT, but they must've influenced each other a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I heard it as an imp-less CT, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted O'Reilly Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Once again, I reveal my ignorance. What is "imp-less"? Is that to mean "lacking impish-ness"? No imps to be heard, nor elves or sassies? No mischievous sprites? No 'what fools these mortals be'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
