Free For All Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have a live CD from that club with Kenny Dorham, Woody Shaw, Bill Hardman, Richard Williams and Blue Mitchell. Some excellent moments, especially from KD and Woody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 You think they would have someone worth listen to. What a lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructible! Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 JOE HENDERSON SEXTET featuring Kenny Dorham & Grachan Moncur Whoa! I didn't know Moncur played with Joe and Kenny (I'm assuming this is the trombonist, and not his father). I would have loved to have heard that set. Anything on record by this particular group? Cheers, Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Anything on record by this particular group? Moncur (not Dorham) is on Henderson's 'The Kicker' session for Milestone I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other trumpet player on the disc was Walter Kelly- I wasn't familiar with him, but he sounded way out of his league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What caught my attention is with all those tenor players, there is this one trombone player. What made them through in Benny Powell? I should ask Powell the next time I see him at a gig. Maybe he can recall how he got on the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) I assume there was a rhythm section as well? Bertrand. Edited February 10, 2010 by bertrand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) On the trumpet jam the rhythm section is Lonnie Smith, piano; Peck Morrison, bass; Walter Perkins, drums. In the liners for this one there was a picture of a poster advertising another tribute featuring Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Dorham, Bill Hardman, Woody Shaw and Tommy Turrentine(also in 1968 I assume)but at another club called Afro-Disiac (also in Jamaica, Queens). Holy crap! According to the liners, Lee had to cancel and was replaced by Joe Newman. Evidently the session we've been discussing was the only one recorded (unfortunately).

bertrand Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Actually, I was wondering about the rhythm section for the multi-tenor thing. Lonnie Smith is Lonnie Liston Smith (who is also on Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith aroung this time), not Dr. Lonnie before he got his PhD, correct? Bertrand.

umum_cypher Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 That's it, thanks Brownie! The other trumpet player on the disc was Walter Kelly- I wasn't familiar with him, but he sounded way out of his league. It's a pretty easy league to be out of!

I almost felt bad for him, having to follow Woody and the others. He really (to my ears, at least) sounds weak and tends to BS his way through the changes. I've never heard of him, I wonder how he ended up on this session. Guy had some cojones to play in that company, I'll say that for him!
