cannonball-addict Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) Ray Drummond the bassist, like many other first-call rhythm section cats is on so many records and CDs. Rather than start a poll based on the little which I DO have, I thought I would start a thread with recommendations of stuff he led or stuff we're he sounds particularly good. Look forward to your responses..... Edited December 15, 2004 by cannonball-addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyles Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Great bass sound. I have heard him live on several occassions with David Murray and always enjoyed the experience. In addition to at least one recording under Murray's leadership, Ming's Samba I would recommend Drummond's Arabesque recording, Vignettes, which features some great playing by Gary Bartz and Chris Potter.

JohnS Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I agree, his Arabesque recordings are all very good and worthy addition to a collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 AMG says Drummond is the leader, I always thought the three were co-leaders, actually. But no matter-its highly recommended if you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcello Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Ray(Bulldog) Drummond sounds great ,as always, on Joe Locke's "Beauty Burning"( Sirocco) and has a origional song by him on it called "I-95". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Ted Curson's The Trio! Drummond and Haynes are absolutely brilliant in the rarely heard trumpet-bass-drums format. Three of the five tracks were rerelased on a :Ted Curson-Dizzy Reece" compilation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I enjoy both "One on one" duo sessions together with Bill Mays on dmp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooter Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 (edited) So many to choose from - this guy gets around! But I've always liked the album "Alter Ego" by James Williams with Billy Pierce, Bill Easley, Ray Drummond and Tony Reedus. Also some Brecon Jazz Festival 1995 material with Kenny Barron and Ben Riley. Edited December 19, 2004 by tooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
