it's a combination of trilling and playing octaves I believe, trilling like the way Errol Garner did on piano.

lol................. thanks David.

After purchasing "Saudades" last night, I wondered. Eicher Creative Music or European Creative Music? I've heard both.

yes, indeed, very sad.

yeppers, and its a great version too. I tell ya, both the closers on each disc made me laugh out loud. They just go out man, "Emergency" is a gas

I bought it tonight, I couldn't help myself. (yes, I have an addiction) Finished disc 1, man, DeJohnette on "Spectrum" whew.. ditto Larry and John. "If" is terrific also. One thing I noticed is "Allah Be Praised" is mistimed, its a lot longer than 43 seconds.

I was listening to Up For It the other day after listening to this parody and I cackled at the Keithgasms. I haven't heard a whole ton of Jarrett albums like many here, but the tune "Tributaries" during its slow rolling vamp, Keith just lets out an "AHHHHHHHH" that either sounds like a) hes being whipped in a dungeon, or b) someone with mental challenges. I was dying the first time I heard that, and I was playing it for a friend who likes funny noises, he was laughing so hard he almost had tears in his eyes. Ok, if so many ppl have issues with Keith's "vocals", I have never heard about people complaining about Jimmy Smith, I mean when I saw him live, JOS just leaned into the mic and just groaned like he was on the toilet.

I'm not a huge Sco fan either, but the fact its the three of them is just insane to me you know, great group.

different strokes for different folks, eh?

I love it.

oldest CD: probably Count Basie Jam at Montreux '75, which is from 1987. when I started really collecting things on CD, this is one of the first things I got, tho I did not own it on LP, this was maybe '93 or 94. JOS' "The Master" would qualify also,have had that since it came out.

I found this over at JC........... so funny! http://www.planetcanadice.com/Skits/KJOffer.mp3

Amazon has soundclips, I will repeat myself, can't wait to get it, this album is off the hook burning.

wish I could hang out with y'all but I ain't in Chicago

I'm really looking forward to this!

thats where I got Pat Metheny's "Trio Live" for $18 when it first came out.

Pat Metheny: Zero Tolerance for Silence

I will add to MG's case for Thornel being an innovative organ guitarist. To my knowledge, prior to JOS, guitarists would comp quarter note four to the bar style, and when Thornel played behind Jimmy it was more boppish comping, opening things up more. Of course, there are always tunes like "Mack the Knife" where the comping was four to the bar. Out of Jimmy's regular guitarists during that classic '56-65 or so period, Quentin Warren for me has to be the least spectacular player.

I enjoy Thornel's playing too. I think JOS had solid players like he, Eddie McFadden and Quentin Warren to keep something underneath while Jimmy burned on top. Though Warren has some smokin riffing on "Open House/Plain Talk", and Donald Bailey I never thought as unobtrusive, he gave the right seasoning, but listen to tunes like JOS or "The Boss" and hear him play in a way that matched the organ's intensity. In some ways I think of the interplay of Donald and Jimmy like Trane and Elvin, Donald gave those polyrhythms while Jimmy was on fire.

lol

that first post was a pretty good Aric impersonation, WITHOUT THE CAPS!!! Dave, really? Cuttino Mobley is related to Hank? I was thinking as such, I mean how common is that last name?

oh man, this is terrible I hope Hilton makes it.

I keep them in their boxes on the shelf, and CDR any particular albums I listen to often from the sets.

I may get an old TOCJ from CDUniverse of the 5 Spot album in its original form sometime.

I'd like to see a domestic RVG of the Five Spot album, I didn't like the way the old CD was sequenced with the unreleased stuff in the middle.
