Mark Stryker Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Gang -- I'm trying to help a friend discover whether or not there are any recordings out there of alto saxophone/guitar duets. And if not alto/guitar, then perhaps tenor/guitar. I couldn't come up with any full albums off the top, though I pointed him to the Paul Desmond/Jim Hall recordings to see if there are individual tracks done as duos. I have since learned of a French radio broadcast from 1980 of three tunes pairing Konitz and Jimmy Raney. So, anything come to mind? Thanks.

Dub Modal Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Maybe not the desired neighborhood (?) but this one comes to mind: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Kaoru Abe & Masayuki Takayanagi - Gradually Projection + Mass Projection, though that's rather a far cry from Desmond & Hall ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Tim Berne has recorded in duo with Bill Frisell (1988) and Gregg Belisle-Chi (2021) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milestones Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Steve Slagle (alto) and Dave Stryker (guitar) have played together countless times, although I can't think of any performances where is it just the two of them. The record Free with Lee features Lee Konitz with two guitarists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnymax Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Ken Peplowski (ts, cl) and Howard Alden (g) have three good recordings on Concord Jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Don't know about duets, but Paul Desmond's recordings with Jim Hall (that Mosaic collected together a long time ago) might sort of qualify, provided you don't mind the addition of bass and drums! gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgcim Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Don Burrows and George Golla made a duo recordins down under with DB playing TS and flute called "Duo" A friend gave me a great duo of Warne Marsh and Larry Koonse playing a concert in Chicago that he got from the web somewhere and burned me a copy. Zoot Sims made that album "Nirvana" with Bucky Pizzarelli which Buddy Rich purposely spoiled for this thread by sneaking in on drums. Lenny Breau made an astounding album with Brad Terry playing clarinet called "The Living Room Tapes". You can tell your friend that Brad terry is playing a skinny black saxophone; I'm sure he won't mind... On the album "Buck and Bud, Bucky Pizzarelli plays six duets with Bud Freeman. The rest have a rhythm section. Phil Woods and Vic Juris made a duo album called "Songs One" just before they both died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) QUESTION: Is this everything(?) that Lee Konitz and Billy Bauer recorded together, just the two of them as a duo?? (I don't feel like I have enough of a handle on all of Lee's early output to really know, but this might(?) be everything.) "Rebecca" -- Recorded April 17, 1950 (in NYC) and "Indian Summer" and " Duet For Saxophone & Guitar", both recorded March 13, 1951 (in NYC) Here's a pretty good Lee discography, and I'm not seeing anything else that's obvious in it (in the way of other duo recordings w/ Bauer). https://www.press.umich.edu/pdf/0472115871-discography.pdf Edited May 17, 2022 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
