I have the Tucker release on Archeophone and it's not all that interesting musically; her story's fascinating and she's historically important, but musically she was that era's equivalent to Mylie Cyrus. Ethel Merman was a force of nature. And here's a little political footnote: https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/audio-flashback-listen-to-stephen-sondheims-john-lindsay-campaign-song-starring-ethel-merman Too bad he/they were profoundly wrong about Lindsay, a terrible mayor.

Larry Kart Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Contemporary Deuchar (close one there -- I like Wheeler, and they're both individual, but fond as I am of Fats Navarro, Duechar's Navarro-tinged approach as a player and his Dameron-ish writing get to me.

Throwing this back out: In terms of music records only and objective enjoyment of same - Bill Cosby or Steve Allen? Mobley with Morgan Kelly vs. Evans with Miles, apples and oranges. Miles' choice of Kelly on "Freddie Freeloader" exemplifies this. Likewise, Kelly on the rest of "Kind of Blue" wouldn't have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
