I just checked my collection where he plays and just a few examples:
Alice Coltranes Universal Consciousness
Anouar Brahems Blue Maqams
Freddie Hubbards First Light
Jackie McLeans Demons Dance
Joe Hendersons Power to the People
Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew
Paul Desmond’s Skylark
plus many more but his ability to shine one these very different kind of records in such a great way says a lot about his qualities as a drummer
I dig his work as a sideman. Mostly hear McCoy Tyner influence. I played this solo album once and it didn’t do a lot for me but perhaps I should give it another try
This isn’t the first time I hear people having trouble with the sound of an organ. There’s a community of flute haters too. Of course it’s all just personal taste. Though I still prefer piano I really grew into the sound of it. I mostly found out I dislike a specific sound which is a technical thing I find hard to describe but let’s say it’s the more dull side of the instrument. There’s also a more biting and funky side I really enjoy. There’s also way Jimmy Smith plays on Root Down for example: damn! Also have a couple of John Patton and Larry Young records I really enjoy.
What a highly unpleasant person he was. Stellar record though, probably my favorite Getz. The combination with Chick works like magic. Captain Marvel is great as well though it’s not so consistently good as Sweet Rain.
