I was lucky to see Mr Five by Five when he toured in the UK with Humphrey Lyttelton's band in 1958. Apparently, the band were worried that the great man wouldn't find them up to scratch, although they were at this time very KC oriented. So they played something and Jimmy said, "It's the real home cookin', you know?"

More 50s Dexter - and other delights, of course!

Putting it the other way, the inspiration that declined over time was strongest in the beginning. My favourite Tyner is on Coltrane sessions and then on his earliest leader dates, such as Inception and Reaching Fourth.

Now playing: I really dig 50s Dexter! Such a pity he was "unavailable" to record more at that time.

I strongly share your enthusiasm for Shorty's music. I don't think he came to Europe much, so I was lucky to see him when he came out of retirement in the 1980s to lead a British National Youth Jazz Orchestra tour.

My guess ts that, like me, you saw many of the drum giants in person, Gheorghe. On my list are Cozy Cole, Louie Bellson, Mel Lewis, Kenny Clarke, Max, Art, Philly. Notable omissions are Buddy Rich, Elvin and Tony Williams.

To continue our conversation ... Now playing: PJJ is just right here. In fact it's a perfectly functioning rhythm section of Kenny, PC and PJJ and just right for Dexter. A pleasure to listen to! (All IMHO, of course!)

Now playing:

Funny Girl Ian Bone Jay & Kai

Well, I know there's been a controversial discussion about Higgins here recently, but I'd have been happier with another drummer. I don't think his insistent accenting suits the mainly simple lines of Dexter. Unlike you, I found Harewood's drumming just right on Doin' Allright. Next I'll be listening to Dexter Calling to see how I feel about Philly in this context.
