Bright Moments

Didn't know it was an attack. Harmonically, Herbie wouldn't exist without Evans. OP had nothing to offer in that area. well the herbie hancock website states: Beginnings: Early Life and the Miles Davis Quintet Born in Chicago in 1940, Herbie was a child piano prodigy who performed a Mozart piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the tender age of 11. He began playing jazz in high school, initially influenced by Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans. Herbie's webpage FWIW i think evans was a genius - but just because herbie cites him as an influence doesn't mean that he sounds anything like him. and using your line of reasoning uncle chuck - if there wasn't an art tatum there wouldn't be an evans!!!!

instead of making an ad hominum attack uncle chuck - tell me where you find fault in my post. Ten years in music is huge. which proves the point as to the complete lack in similarities between hancock and evans!

and FWIW evans was only about 10 years older than herbie - hardly the "next generation".

What say you all?

wow!

while herbie acknowledges evans as an influence - his major influence was oscar peterson. compare when herbie played with miles with when evans played and you will see - THERE IS NO COMPARASION TO BE MADE! herbie and miles played fusion - because that's what miles wanted to play. at the same time herbie did maiden voyage on his own - which sounds nothing like waltz for debby. i cannot fathom any similarities between evans and hancock except that the both hit the 88 black and white keys (as opposed to monk who played the cracks!)

nice to see the canes bounce back!!!!

Last night was the Opening Night for the 13th Annual Miami Jazz Film Festival! I was lucky enough to see "THE JAZZ BARONESS". This 2009 film was directed by Hanna Rothschild, Nica's great-niece! It focused mainly on Nica's friendship with Monk. Lots of interview snippets with jazz musicians and critics. Only 82 minutes long but this Nica fan left satisfied! here's a link for the other films being shown this weekend: Jazz Film Festival

please include me - download is fine!!!
