Soul Stream Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Hank Mobley's version of "The Good Life" is pretty nice to my ears. Also, Stanley Turrentine's "Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most" always grabs me. Quote
Soul Stream Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Sonny Red's "Stay As Sweet As You Are". YES! Quote
Cali Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Hank Mobley's version of "The Good Life" is pretty nice to my ears. Also, Hank's version of "There's A Lull In My Life" from A SLICE OF THE TOP. Quote
mmilovan Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 mikeweil, here is my vote: "East of The Sun" by Pres, Alladin sessions This is not top sax ballad playing, this is top playing by any means of all the time! Quote
ghost of miles Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Bird & Pres, "Embraceable You" from JATP. Quote
DrJ Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I wouldn't presume to say they're the greatest ballad performances ever - far too many great ones to judge there - but I never tire of hearing Dexter Gordon's rendition of "You've Changed" from DOIN' ALRIGHT (BN) or Lucky Thompson playing "The Man I Love" on MODERN JAZZ GROUP (Universal France).
