To all you beboppers in the know, which would you recommend, "Trumpet At Tempo" or "The Complete Savoy & Dial Master, Leader Sessions". Doesn't seem to be much difference in the titles. Thanks............

marvin 'smitty' smith, don't like his style of drumming at all..........lewis nash is 100 times better

this is a nobrainer, milt jackson because of the blues.....................

another one of my dads gillespie bandmates have gone to that big band in the sky. i THINK joe gayles and dave burns are the only ones left...........

HELP........I have 1530 cd's and counting. I like to keep them in alphabetical order. im constantly almost on a daily basis adding new cd's and have to re arrange the entire collection each time. i need an expandable storage system where i can stick a new cd in its alphabetical spot with touching the other cd's......thanks

i think it was MartyJazz that turned me on to "Big George". mighty fine set. don't think its on cd. of course i love his work on maiden voyage and with max roach, if you like the hard bop blues like i do, check his alto sax solo on Kin Folks from Lee Morgan's 1957 set on blue note, City Lights. although im glad this master is still alive, after seeing him at Jazz At Perals in S.F. earlier this year with Eric Alexander and Harold Mabern, he's erratic and i think maybe its time for him to hang up his ax, drinks a lot.....................

i was recently attacted on this forum for my opinions, im not going to do the same to you, you have a right to your opinions. i don't agree with you, i think pjj was a mainstay of the hard bop movement with others of course..........

no brainer, buddy rich. add his personality to his drumming and you get the total picture...........it takes one asshole(artie shaw) to recognize another asshole(buddy rich) and i hate drum kits. tony williams, elvin jones, art blakey where are you..........

just discovered I have mr. kilson on i remember by diane reeves, will have to give that a listen, not sure i'd put bill stewart in between two masters like jones and haynes

beboptrumpeter, i should have included dejohnette. what iyo is his most difinitive work leader or sideman. will have to reasearch kilson and stewart

My favorite drummers are in order, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Roy Haynes, Philly Joe Jones, Billy Higgins and Art Taylor. Of course there are many others that I like a lot such as Jimmy Cobb, Charlie Persip, Louis Hayes, Alan Dawson. Of the young lions, my favorite is Louis Nash and I like Jeff "Tain" Watts a lot. What say you...........

I agree with your assesment totally, but i LOVED the opening scene

the best part of this movie was the opening scene. the cruise character has the best job in the world

anyone willing to trade the jimmy smith mosaic for the max roach mosaic? or are you willing to sell your jimmy smith mosaic?

my two favorites by tubbs are "tubby's back in town/return visit" with roland kirk, sam jones, louis hayes and i believe james moody. the other is " in scandinavia"........

listen to the j.j. johnson mosaic then tell me if you feel the same.......

im amazed at what im reading, major revelation of the mosaics, you've got to be kidding

no i haven't, think it would be a waste of my time, ive heard his playing and imo its the jazz equivilant(spelling) to elavator music. to lightweight, i like the heavy, intense, blusey hard bop playing of pepper adams, leo parker, ronnie cuber, charles davis ← Deciding that you won't like something before even hearing it is never a good thing. The CJB Mosaic is choc full of superb music; intelligent, driving and (despite the 'big band' setting) spontaneous. Definitely not lightweight. Most definitely not elevator music. If you don't want to spring for the Mosaic at least check out the CJB at the Village Vanguard disc. If you still have the same opinion afterwards, at least it'll be an informed opinion. Am I to assume you haven't heard Art Pepper's Vanguard recordings either? ←

Nope. Not at all. He's both in my world. ← ok kenny, i can dig that........ ← And I suspect I'm not alone! Have you heard any of the Mulligan Concert Jazz Band albums? ← no, why would i keep tasting chocolate when i know i don't like chocolate, i love vanella and thats all i like, i know its all ice cream, but why try the other stuff knowing i only like vanella.............

disagreements i can handle of course, its the name calling personal attacks i take offense to, you all need to stop saying i can't handle the disagreements. in my original thread i said i knew i'd catch hell for this, and i took the personal shit for as long as i could, not one of you has been brave or honest enough to say that the personal attacks serve no real purpose on this forum. and also, you reap what you sow. when you name call, expect to be called names. you don't have to like or agree with what i say, thats cool, you may not have to "can" me from this forum, it might be a voluntary thing..........

he never rung your bell because he's not a bell ringer like j.j. johnson and the like.....

remain a spectator unless you're prepared to be bloddied also.............

i take the smile and the comment back ass h--e..........

So they don't deserve the attention they got just because you don't like them, is that what you're saying? That's going a bit far, isn't it? Sounds pretty arrogant to me. There are lots of artists I don't like or I'm not interested in, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve the attention they got, that's not up to me. ← no, not JUST because i don't like them

....is this before he "counselled" Bill Clinton for the blow job in the White House only for the world to find out months later that he, himself fathered a kid with another woman while he was married??? ← what house was he supposed to get it in, the holliday inn???????? ← my boy and the best president we've ever had, bill clinton, the blackest white man i've ever known.........
