The best jazz band that isn't an exclusively jazz band.

Cannonball Adderley Quintet - Mercy, Mercy, Mercy at K-Mart circa 1970-72 when I was in high school.

Jack Teagarden is in the Bing Crosby movie "Birh of the Blues" playing a character named Pepper.

The first time I saw him with Weather Report in 1973 he was turning gray. When I saw WR in '74 he was no longer gray.

What I thoughtt of when I read the topic.

With Kenny Barron on piano.

That seems to be a popular one among jazz musicians. Richie Cole - I Love Lucy

Great stuff. Thanks @Chuck Nessa

Who needs drugs?

My vinyl is terrible. Al's not in the finest of voices but he sure can hit those low notes.

This set is what got me interested in procuring more Herbie. The Collectable twofers are a great deal too.

I had never heard any of his solo stuff before. Really enjoying it.

I lost interest when Dark Side came out partly because it got overplayed, especially in my college dorm. The two I play most are "More" and "Obscured By Clouds." "Ummagumma" was my intro so I always enjoyed the more avant garde PF. PF with Syd was kind of like the Beatles with Pete Best in that the core PF was Gilmore, Waters, Mason and Wright. Any deviations from that line-up weren't Floyd to me IMHO.

Art Blakey, Johnny Griffin, Marian McPartland, Vic Dickenson, Count Basie, Gerry Mulligan, Dizzy Gillespie.
