Carter Jefferson?

Is that Australia's Junior Cook or America's Junior Cook?

My mother heard the same record! She said, "Do your homework". It would be great if there were more recordings of this group with a first rate bop drummer but this one is unique and just fine the way it is. If I remember right, Dizzy thought it was one of his best records.

ok Took me years to catch the major third in the melody of 'Stolen Moments' in bar eight of the 'A' section. Just checked two fakebook sources and they are both wrong! One has the lowered third and the other has a fifth instead of a third.

Some people play Solar with the first chord major. My fakebook says the forth chord (bar 5) is minor in Israel. Your mileage may vary.

That rules out quite a lot. When is McLean not sharp? That is his approach. Not early on and usually not a quarter-tone sharp. When he gets ReallY sharp it can be too much for me to listen to a whole album! This was later than the Prestige years.

My Kenny Drew moment was Stablemates on a Paul Chambers record featuring John Coltrane. I like most anything by McLean except when he is about a quartertone sharp.

Powell played at a small club each night in a very relaxed atmosphere. This CD contains some of the performances, four songs with a trio (that includes bassist Guy Hayat and drummer Jacques Gervais) and, best of all, three hot numbers that feature tenor great Johnny Griffin who makes the group a quartet. The recording quality is a little erratic on this set but Powell often sounds quite inspired. Scott Yanow, Rovi

Norman Rosen informs me: I am sad to report the passing of Louie Shapiro. You Tube posting of Louie playing alto below. I remember in about 1963 hearing a recording of Louie playing tenor. I was shocked at how well he had absorbed Coltrane's 1950s style. I was told Louie practiced all the time.

Sorry I never met him.

I sorta hate this season of the year. Somehow lots more people die...or so it seems to me.

Chuck, the 1970s was a bad hair decade :-) Most of us were guilty.

Texas Tenors http://www.npr.org/blogs/ablogsupreme/2011/10/05/141088887/five-titans-of-texas-tenor-sax Interesting picture of King Curtis :-)

Is that a straight alto flute? or is Sam rather short? or is this just a result of camera/optical stuff. or is it just me? I loved his "Notes To You" recording on clarinet when I was a kid. Edit: I guess it's just me.

Yes colinmce, Wayne Shorter is a big deal, like Joe Henderson. So is Warne Marsh but he is very hard to emulate as an approach to improvisation in all respects!

Good point! I don't know if his style has been a big influence on a lot of players. It's not too easy to emulate :-) He is, however, a very important jazz tenor sax player! so says me = imho

Zoot Sims had an influence on many players.

Thanks J H for the links.

Chuck. are you pulling our appendages? My copy: Duke Ellington - The Private Collection 1924 \ Duke Ellington - The Private Collection - Vol 1\CD 1\13 The tenor plays eight bars of melody in the low register and sounds like he's a doubler fighting a borrowed leaky horn. Hope I'm not out of line.

Pete Fountain recorded on tenor in the early sixties. He had that New Orleans sound.

Interesting. There are piano schools of playing. To a lesser degree I've heard of drummer schools of playing, and trombone, and trumpet.

What a jive tuba :-)

I really like that pic of Red, cat, bass. He did look much hipper later on :-)
