two very different trumpet players I both very much enjoy Well the similarities are obviously there (it might be genetical ) but I do think Richie has his own sound. I think his playing has a more ‘at ease’ feel than Bud’s. That makes him fit in better for this session than his brother imo.

One of the reasons why I love this forum. Could you imagine communicating this way with each other some 30 years ago? Had the same feeling with the COVID thing. The whole world feels so small suddenly.

That’s pretty unusual for the Sunshine State isn’t it? Or does it happen more regularly?

So how cold is it over there in the States? We had some days below zero but now it’s the typically shitty Dutch winter weather here: 8 degrees celsius with some rain. And now sunlight for weeks to come. I hate it.

It’s the classic quartet with Rouse and I think it’s one of their finer outings. and even though I really, really dig Rouse (Yeah! Is THE straightahead tenor sax record for me) I like my Monk best combined with a more powerful tenor player like Griff, Coltrane or Newk

I believe he did not see himself as good enough.

That’s it Working at home this morning

Yeah it’s a damn shame. All excellent musicians.

the last Chick for today

Some more Tina. They should really make True Blue a Classics Vinyl Series issue.

That's a well spent 16 dollars!

Very good album. Amazing sonics. Highly recommended.

Ah there’s that Rega P3

Yeah I definitely get that. Fantastic album.

oh my! How this music deserved the Acoustic Sounds treatment. It sounds amazing 😍 R.I.P. Pharoah Sanders!

Yeah I have the cd's to but also having trouble to dig trough all those alternates.... Gray was such a great saxophonist. And a tragic figure unfortunately.

Also very looking forward to this one.

Thanks. His records from this era are hit and miss for me so will give this one a try

It’s a great photograph and probably the one of Wardell most used on the Internet these days.
