Martyjazz: This was probably a typo, but Evans died in New Jersey. I was at his last performance at Fat Tuesday. Michele Le Grand was there also, by the way. Evans had to have someone on each side of him to get around; he was so unsteady on his feet. Joe LaBarbra ( who is from my area ) told me that night that he recorded every set of every night that he played with him!

Can I suggest to everyone here to put on some headphones and listen to a little of ( a young guy, youmustbe ) Adam Rogers and cool it?

There just happens to be a article about him in the March JazzTimes. He had been teaching in Pittsburg untill his illness. This is a favorite of mine: ＩＮ　ＴＨＥ　ＬＡＮＤ　ＯＦ　ＴＨＥ　ＧＩＡＮＴＳ　（PRESTIGE） ＥＲＩＣ　ＫＬＯＳＳ （1969/1/2） IN THE LAND OF THE GIANTS ERIC KLOSS (as) BOOKER ERVIN (ts) JAKI BYARD (p) RICHARD DAVIS (b) ALAN DAWSON (ds) SUMMERTIME / SO WHAT / SOCK IT TO ME SOCRATES WHEN TWO LOVERS TOUCH / THINGS AIN'T WHAT USED TO BE

Calm down Allen, you'll hurt yourself. Back to the subject: John Coltrane - Live at Birdland ( Steve Marcus once told me that it is him, claping all alone, at the end of "I Want to Talk About You !?)

It's kind of like a lot of educators bios that you see. You know they "played with" Liebman, Woods and others when all they did was attend a workshop!

In the Jazz field can we count Gene McDaniels? "Compared To What " (Les McCann & Eddie Harris) "Silent Majority" ( Eddie Harris - Live at Newport )

KCSM has a nice show called "Desert Island Jazz" where they invite artists to come on the air to play and discuss their favorite records. Here is a link where you can view their choices:DESERT ISLAND JAZZ

Yes, I think that description will do! Cannbal-addict - Nice list! I forgot about Chris Cheek; he holds his own on the Paul Motion record playing Monk and Powell with Chris Potter.

Stubblefied is great but his own recordings don't show make the same impact as he does live. Maybe he just makes such a great impression live, that his recording pale some in the light of day. Suggestions are welcome! I first saw him play with Thad & Mel's band. Wow! Here is a link to a interview with him:Link

Tommy Smth ( Bluesmith - Alone At Last ) Billy Harper (Capra Black) Chris Potter (Lift)

Chuck, your production of "Have No Fear" is one of my favorite records. Much, much better that the Atlantic "Doin' It Right Now". Thanks!

I just ordeded it from Barnes & Noble. Total cost was $37.02 with member discount.

LIGHT BLUE Not the obvious choice but I dig that rolling rhythmn and the surprising melody. You can hear a little HERE

Here's a recent photo from Barry Quick:

A bit like having a mint car that you nerver drive! I'm a home bulider and I quite often build homes with 3 or 4 garage bays so the Owner can salt away a car that he NEVER DRIVES! Such a waste. Records are ment to be played. Like money, you can't take it with you!

The piano player was probably David Budway, who when Tain was a a youngster, turned him on to Jazz. Budway is a gifted composer,arranger and pianist that can play in any style on any gig.

These are the two extremes of the crappy jazz spectrum. Neither is to be taken as "the real thing". Neo Cons both!

One of the really great inside/outside recording I have is by Scottish tenor/soprano player Tommy Smith. His "Christmas Concert" cd is like he is chaneling Trane at Yuletide. Santa Trane! It's on his own label, Spartacus RecordsLINK I can just imagine what the audience was thinking when they went to this concert, expecting some nice, pleasant,peaceful Xmas songs on a snowy Scotland evening!

I'm sorry. I think "Ming" is total bore. Ego filled, non playing and boring. He dosn't strike me as one of the Master tenor saxophonists. For the same time period, Billy Harper, Stubblefield and Gregory Herbert play rings artound him. I guess the reason I made the Wynton comment is that Murray holds himself up as part of the patheon of the great tenor masters. He really hangs his hat up on that. Not for me!

I've heard this before, but I don't hear it myself. He evolved and distilled his style as he went on through the years. I always thought he was great! Regal, even. I have a wonderful tape that I made one night in NYC of Max's band with Odean, Bridgewater and Calvin Hill at the Blue Note ( there was some comedy because I sat between Cecil Taylor and Stanley Crouch with Max alternating between them. They each bitched about the other to Max ) on one side of the tape and Art Blakey's band with Blanchard, Johnnny O'Neal etc. at Mikell's on the other side ,recorded on the same night ! I don't know....it's pretty swingin'!

Yes! He's not my cup of tea either. Most of the time he doesn't sound like he "for" the group. Tony Williams could pull it off but not Peterson.
