Tony's playing was blues based and thus was typically rooted in blues and pentatonic scales and their various boxes/patterns. And you are right about to each your own, but I think that to dismiss Tony's pentatonic riffs as "simplistic" sells him short as a guitar player and reinforces the "snooty" label that is associated with many jazz aficionados. To cite players from other genres as influences need not mean that they can be overtly heard in copped licks or whatever. Django Reinhard was an influence because Tony lost the fingertips on his left hand in an industrial accident. Thus Reinhardt was an inspiration in helping Tony to believe, and figure out a way to overcome an obstacle which would have stopped most in their tracks. Another pentatonic/blues based player who comes to mind is Johnny Winter. As with many jazz musicians, he had an endless well of licks and ways to twist and turn those "simplistic scales" into statements with as much value and feeling as those of Coltrane, Miles, et al. I would also add that the technical proficiency that Tony and Johnny, and countless others, apply to their simplistic "simplistic pentatonic riffs" embodies it's own sort of magic. I don't know if you're a guitar player, if so I encourage you to sit down and learn a couple of their solos note for note. On a separate note, listen to the album "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath." That record found the songwriting and arrangements operating at a different level. It's not likely to convert you but could certainly be worth forty minutes of your time. In my opinion they are both monsters in their own right and we will clearly have to agree to disagree on this. Ah, the subjectivity of art and music. Respectfully submitted.

Yes. Search by blue note tone poet series and you should see them. Keep scrolling down. There are a bunch at the top and others scattered as you go down. I just did the search and it came up. Same thing if you search verve acoustic sound series.

Amazon has numerous Blue Note and Verve titles at 50% off. Just search by label and series. I found more than a few things...some of which weren't available through Universal's sale. A few titles also have coupons which can be applied as well. Add- Verve titles look to be pretty much picked over. Plenty of Blue Note though.

Bump. $25 shipped.
