Jazz Kat

I organize mine in years that they came out. But I play my cd's and records so often, it never lasts for long. By the end of the week, they'll be 1000 cd's all over the place, and I have to take the time to do it all over again.

HOw about the shortest? Some Miles Davis Quintet albums clock in at a tiny bit, 35 minutes, but the shortest one I have is Vince Guaraldi's Oh Good Grief, at 28 minutes.

That's sacrelige! Or however you spell it.

Harry Connick. His singing had overshadowed his piano playing.

My sister's ex, a friend in Brooklyn and a friend in San Diego. None of them named Art Taylor. Nah, didn't he grow up in Philly, around Trane?

I know, that's like seeing The Original Jazz Band, with Pete Laraca in their prime! Well sorta...

I'm sorry, I was just commenting on (I believe it was Leeway?) who made fun of the Ripps, and Najee. I am not too into the Ripps, hence my quote. The Ripps are enjoying a successful career in the smooth jazz audience.

Now it's Jimmy Cobb vs. AT. AT was better i my opinion. Bill Evans wasn't too fond of Cobb, as he said that he played extremely loud and drowned out his band. AT never had a problem with this. Jimmy grew into a great drummer though. Can I choose who I LIKE better? No. They're both good.

AT as a musicians choice in the 50's, espcially for Prestige recordings. There's a reason for that.

Man, I tried attaching that same cd! lol No joke though.

If I were in their postition, and being myself, I wouldn't give him permission.

lol, smoothie. Those smoothies need to get some real drummers!

And others who can agree. Was it Chuck Flores who said it sounded like AT was just trying to sounded like Philly Joe?

Easy big fella, next you'll be wondering why Najee and the one who's name must not be spoken weren't included. Perhaps you are pondering at KENNY G!!!!! LOL! Sorry, I just had to do that. You ever feel like you wanna deck that guy in the face?

Rippington's=smooth jazz which then =crap. Never dis Spyro Gyra! Especially their early stuff. Weather Report, either! I mentioned The Ripps all those cuz they weren't mentioned, but I mean I guess they deserve a place somewhere in jazz.

I'd say 30 years. They do a good job at 1960's avant garde, a little bit of Davis and the whole fusion thing, but no jazz rock like Weather Report, or modern groups like Spyro Gyra, and The Rippingtons.

and Grant Green...

Art Taylor?

what? read? NO WAY!!! , just kidding. I'll look into it. If that's not interesting reading, what is?

Peter Jolly! who passed away last month.

My guess it is only worth as much as it is old. BUt you got a lot of jazz collectors out there who would love that rare gem, so that might be more. It is probaly around the same price of the Time issue with Dave Brubeck.

Can someone decribe his music further to me?

I guess he just thought he was adopted, and didn't want to face the facts!

Taylor didn't revolutionalize anything! You could put Philly Joe and and AT in the same room, put a blind fold on your face, let them play one at a time, you wouldn't know the difference. Sure Art was a great drummer. His technique was tremendous. It just wasn't anything new. He was in the school of the drummers that Philly started. Soultrane is one date of his I love. Great drumming! Listen to Countdown on Giant Steps, he's cookin'!

Thank you!
