Moncur was a really interesting character. From what I read, Blue Note weren't too happy that he chose to keep his publishing. His tunes are amazing; like the Shorter brothers, he was from Newark (a few years younger) and seemed to have an interest in the fantastical, but kept things swinging in his own way. He had very significant substance problems and that presumably is part of why he was off the scene for long periods.

Love "Let 'Em Roll" by Big John Patton, and along with Larry Young, he's my favorite of the BN organists' stable.

Great posting ! 

Yes that´s a very good description of Moncur´s ability as a composer. I didn´t know he was a junkie but it´s strange that even after Bird´s death so many musicians in the 60´s who started to play only after Bird was dead, became junkies. 
I never in live would have thought that Woody Shaw was a junkey. From the way he looked and he was presented by Columbia he seemed to me as the perfect musican who also is a model citizen, highly intelectual, loving husband and father and stuff, and when I saw him the last time in 1987 I couldn´t believe THIS is THE Woody Shaw.....

 

About organ players. Well I must admit that on "Let Em Roll" though the John Patton is the leader, it seems that I played all attention to what Hutcherson and Green do, I think I remember I found the organ solos quite repetive. 
My acces to organ in jazz or in general is very very limited. I love the very very early Jimmy Smith, the more rough way from his first two albums and the great session with Hank, Morgan, Donaldson, and so on.... /Date with Jimmy Smith. 

And the only other organ player who thrills me is Larry Young. And how he thrills me, he is fantastic. 

And believe it or not. In the 70´s one organ player who actually is NOT considered an organ player fascinates me: MILES DAVIS. I loved his interludes on organ in his fantastic band with Liebman, Foster, Mtume which I heard live and loved what Miles does on organ with Lieb soloing on Ife or on Dave´s tune......

Don Cherry - Mu 1

The six year old is in his Don Cherry phase, it turns out. 

I tried to make him articulate why he likes it but he basically said he liked 'Brown Rice' so now he likes all Don Cherry, which I guess is how the 6 year old mind works.

heroin is still a very widely used drug in the US, as are other opiates, in a variety of communities. It's nasty stuff; I'm probably not the only one on this board who has had friends who were addicted and succumbed to the drug. But yes, among post-Bird jazz musicians, there was a significant number who battled 'personal problems" to varying degrees.

William Hooker - Is Eternal Life

One of those records that I picked up much too early in my listening career, presumably because it was on some sort of list (Thurston Moore's?). Still a great record and one of my favourites.
