White Lightning Posted December 24, 2004 Report Posted December 24, 2004 It was 60 years ago today. Woody Shaw was born and never stopped to bring happiness to the lives of so many of us. Happy birthday Woody! A pic with someone who wished he has a tenth of Woody's genius. Look how he looks at what Woody's doing... Quote
Alon Marcus Posted December 24, 2004 Report Posted December 24, 2004 You have a mistake. Wynton is not looking to find out what Woody plays. He is looking to see what he does wrong. B-) Quote
bertrand Posted December 24, 2004 Report Posted December 24, 2004 If Wynton had a tenth of Woody's genius, I'd find him actually bearable. Bertrand. Quote

pryan Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 Why don't we celebrate Woody instead of bash Wynton. Wynton bashing seems to be the hip thing to do on these boards. He's probably the top all-around trumpeter on the planet and he's successful. I'm not really a fan of his stuff, but I still respect the dude. Quote
White Lightning Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Posted December 25, 2004 Where's your holiday spirit, pryan? Quote
pryan Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 Just trying to engage you guys in a "spirited" discussion. Quote
Alon Marcus Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 Here is a long and an informative thread about Woody. In the last couple of days I was listening to Double Take with Shaw, Hubbard, Mulgrew Miller and Garrett. Quote

jazzbo Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 I'm with Pryan. Also with you guys in celebrating the gift of Woody Shaw! Quote
John L Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 Happy birthday, Woody Shaw. That picture looks like its from around the time that Wynton told the press that no jazz musicians did anything of any consequence throughout the entire 1970s. What could he have been thinking of? Quote
