raynmari Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I am looking to compare old recordings to the newer recordings being redone. For example: Nicholas Payton on Dear Louis revisting the Armstrong tunes Roy Hargrove on Parker's Mood-redoing the Parker tunes The Benny Goodman's combo was redone by...Gil Evans? Well, someone... Any more examples of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny weir Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) Gad - there's been hundreds and thousands. Payton, Christian McBride and Mark Whitfield did a Herbie one (Fingerpainting). Jim Snidero did a Joe Henderson one (The Music Of Joe Henderson). And Joe Henderson did a Jobim one (Double Rainbow). Kylie Minogue did one for Charley Patton (Screamin' And Hollerin' The Pap) Just offa the top of my head.

Chuck Nessa Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) In the mid-'50s Ellington did himself on Bethlehem, much to the displeasure of M. Hodeir. Around the same time Rex Stewart assembled a bunch of Fletcher Henderson alum for a masterpiece called The Big Reunion. Earlier Lu Watters and Turk Murphy dealt with '20s music by a bunch of artists. This stuff has been going on for decades with ever-diminishing results. Why not learn the originals? I fear most listening to the "tributes" have never digested the originals.
