Actually drummer Louis Hayes was the leader on this session - he was a member of Lateef's group at the time.

BTW this is one of the finest blues-themed jazz albums ever. Except for the pretty "Rain Dance" which nevertheless has some bluesy inflections, all are blues based, and what a selection of composers: Monk, Coleman, Coltrane, Feather ....

humm, actually, that was me... John, I only read this now, or I would have given you credit ... and I now use the animated Mobley Flip, I dig it so much .... (you read me all? couw did it!!!)

One of my ten favourite solo piano albums!

Forgot to mention his Trio da Paz with Romero Lubambo and Nilson Matta:

BTW, this guy teaches at Drummers' Collective and knows this stuff, I recommend his book to anybody wanting his drummer to improve his Brazilian chops: (published by Manhattan Music)

Okay, for Jim and everybody else that might be interested in hearing a real good Brazilian drummer, here's some CDs with Duduka de Fonseca on 'em: Charlie Byrd: My Inspiration - Music of Brazil (Concord CCD 4850-2, 1998) Joanne Brackeen: Breath of Brazil (Concord CCD 4479-2, 1991) Joanne Brackeen: Take a Chance (Concord CCD 4602-2, 1993) Vincent Herring: Jobim For Lovers (MusicMasters 65178-2, 1998) Lee Konitz: Brazilian Rhapsody (MusicMasters 65151-2, 1995) Ana Caram: Maracana (Chesky JD 104, 1993) Ana Caram: Bossa Nova (Chesky JD 129, 1995)

If you enjoy Bennie Green's Blue Note, Prestige, Time and Bethlehem LPs the Enrica is for you - have the old Fresh Sound LP reissue. Green was pretty consistent in those years and Jimmy Forrest and Sonny Clark were ideal sidemen for him.

Superb!!!!! I honestly request a new board feature enabling automatic change of avatars every 12 hours!

In this case let's hope for a PM from some friendly fellow board member ....

The man who tutored Marilyn Monroe is expected to remember a girl singer on one one track out of a few thousand sessions he did ?!?!?!

I love 'em all with Hill, but Richard Davis probably tops the list. Johnny Coles would have been cool with Andrew, or Julius Watkins. Miles? No way - too egotistical for Andrew's music! That Ron Horton story is great. Like this guy, recommend his CD: He's also nice on Jane Ira Bloom's Art & Aviation.

There was an expanded 12" issue of the Kelly 10" in the 80's, same goes for the Kenny Drew. Don't remember the name of the series, maybe Blue Note Piano collection. The Garner was not in it, as these were licensed recordings.

Is this 1996 CD still available, and is this a duo with drummer Randy Gelespie?

Manifestation and Reverend King are the only Coltrane not yet reissued in the US. Now only why???

I start to think there should be an individual thread for every jazz organist of note on this board!

Personally taught??? Wow!!! With that in mind it is hard to understand he isn't known any better! Are there any other CDs besides the Savant releases?

Too many options, I'm afraid ....

... and there won't be any Getz clones

?????????????????????

couw, you deserve a BN cover honorary designer degree!!!

I just got me Bill Heid's latest Savant CD da girl after recommendations by B3-er and others here, and suggest we feature this guy on his own. A GREAT organist. Young and Patterson, but quite a lot of his own. I second the statement every organ fan should have some of his, and this certainly is not the last one I bought. A great "sequel" to Unity, in a way.

I have this on tape and like it a lot. I'll give it a spin on my way to work later. Will get me this CD although it seems to be an expensive affair. Vick plays soprano on the title track. Willis recorded this piece with Blood, Sweat & Tears before, so the label hoped they would sell some copies for his reputation with that band. Nice mixture of hardbop and funk but not the ordinary way, his writing and playing here is much more like the stuff on Hugh Masekela's Blue Thumb double album. This and the BS&T are not available at the moment, AFAIK.
