Unless you can give examples of these "schmoes," and subject your drive-by condemnations to review by the board, you've merely set up a straw man, which does no favor to Sam Rivers. As your post stands now, it's at the rhetorical level of most political discourse in America (which, btw, is not a good thing).

You must admit he coaxed the blues right out of the horn.

I've had the same question for years. Thanks, folks!

Wow! Look at this: http://jazzlives.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/imagine-this-2/

Yeah, Trane knew all along that he wanted Tyner for his own group, but at first Tyner had commitments with the Jazztet.

Wow, I never knew that. I think Miles also had a group with J.J. as second horn, maybe while Trane was with Monk. I'd be interested in how Bill Evans sounded with George Mraz.

I think Shazam will only match a specific recording, and I've seen it in action and it works. But I think what you want is Soundhound, which claims to be the only app that identifies songs you sing or hum: http://www.soundhound.com/

I had forgotten that she went 20 years between recordings. I discovered her through Whitney Balliet's book, and when I told her that she couldn't say enough about how important that book was to her career. The funny thing is, my friend knew her for some years before Barbara told her she was a singer!

I'm sure there are plenty of undocumented aggregations we'd love to have an album by, and I'm interested in what others think. One I'd love to have heard is the Stan Getz quartet with Steve Kuhn, Scott LaFaro and Roy Haynes. I've only heard one poor quality location recording, I think from Newport. I don't know how long it lasted, but I'd be curious how Miles sounded with Coleman, Strozier & Mabern. I'd also be interested in how Stubblefield sounded with Mingus--is there anything out there?

I've been hoping for a DVD release, but so far no go. Have you seen the film? It's really fabulous. I was lucky to catch it at Anthology Film Archives, in NY, and the filmmaker did a Q&A.

Betty Roche's two Prestige albums, Lightly and Politely & Singin' and Swingin' are two exemplary recordings of small group vocal jazz.

I'm pretty sure they've closed.

I should hope so. However, if it were not someone with your avatar and handle, one could also assume you were talking about Konitz.
