George Lewis (traditionalist, cl) or George Lewis (avant-gardist, tb)? Dr. Lonnie Smith. Not even in the same universe. Lonnie Liston Smith is one of the worst famous musicians I've ever seen in person (right up there with Bobbi Humphrey).. Wild Bill Davis. George Lewis, clarinet.

danasgoodstuff Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Dr. Lonnie, no question, both for his own playing and the company he's kept meh on both Wild Bills for their own playing, but the organist was part of something bigger, and I can enjoy them both in context George the trombonist even though I once saw him be an asshat to an audience - he holds News For Lulu together. George the clarinet player has never done much for me even though I love polyphony and players like Johnny Dodds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonnie Liston Smith is one of the worst famous musicians I've ever seen in person (right up there with Bobbi Humphrey).. I'd go with the good Doctor too -- by a considerable margin. But I think Lonnie Liston Smith sounds pretty darn good on those early Gato Barbieri records for Flying Dutchman. That's his best work, IMO. His solo stuff has never grabbed me. 1 hour ago, JSngry said: Mel Powell or Mel Cooley? I had to go to Google to figure out who Mel Cooley was, so Powell wins by default.

mjzee Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hank Jones by a hair. I love them both, but Hank is a little more gutbucket and direct. Ed Blackwell or Andrew Cyrille? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Sonnyboy #2, despite all the weirdness about him appropriating the other's name, I find Rice Miller to be a more compelling performer and songwriter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not jump to conclusions. Mel Cooley holds up really well, even if he never did win a Pulitzer. And do note that not only was he Mel Cooley, he was also Fred Rutherford. so, this "dual identity" thing that Mel Powell had, not as unique as we might think. Just let it marinade for a while, that's all I'm saying. Sophie Tucker or Ethel Merman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
