nmorin Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Miles', Wayne's, and Herbie's solos on "Circle". As close to perfection as I expect I'll hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyJazz Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 (edited) Ten among the very many that come to mind: Charlie Parker: "Koko" (Christmas '49, Carnegie Hall;) Dizzy Gillespie: "A Night in Tunisia" (Feb '61, Carnegie Hall, Verve) Clifford Brown: "Brownie Speaks", ('53, Blue Note) John Coltrane: "Blues Minor" ('61, Impulse) Sonny Rollins: "Street Runner With Child" ('66, Impulse) Eric Dolphy: "Mysterious Blues" ('60, Charles Mingus - Candid) Dexter Gordon: "The Maze" ('62, Herbie Hancock - Blue Note) Sam Rivers: "Fuchsia Swing Song" ('64 Blue Note) Thelonious Monk: "Evidence" (May '63, Japan TV quartet performance - to see it especially is to know what jazz is all about) Joe Henderson: "Blue Bossa" ('71 live in Tokyo, Milestone) Edited August 27, 2005 by MartyJazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Wardell Gray on Benny Goodman's "Hucklebuck". Yes, I'm serious. Wardell says: Take That! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Anthony Braxton's contrabass clarinet solo on Jacques Coursil's "Black Suite" (America) always messes with me. Soulful, tortured, and almost completely unaccompanied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Trane's solo on "Out Of This World" from COLTRANE (Impulse!). Which solo -- the first one or the second? (They're both phenomenal, but maybe you have a preference.) For those who are interested we've had threads on the greatest Coltrane and Wayne Shorter solos. Not sure how many of these are overlooked.
