Morganized Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Bennie Green this week. That is me... Depends on the week. Wayne Shorter is a favorite. And of course,Lee Morgan! No one swings like Lee, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElginThompson Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Historically, Miles/Bird/Blakey/Lee/Trane/Mingus/Monk. In 2011 I made more of a concerted effort to dust off my hard bop (Mobley, Donaldson, Hubbard, Golson/Farmer, McLean and really all Blue Note recordings). Ended the year spending more time with the New Thing and will likely continue exploring in that direction. Resurrecting an interesting thread. Also like comparing my response to the now. In heavy rotation in 2013: Bill Dixon and Art Ensemble of Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Mingus was born in Nogales, but grew up in LA.Here's one of my photos: When I saw that photo I literally tasted cigar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Interesting to look back almost two years and not the changes. This was my earlier list SONNY STITT JIMMY SMITH HOUSTON PERSON JUNIOR MANCE GRANT GREEN DAVID NEWMAN BROTHER JACK MCDUFF LES MCCANN DR LONNIE SMITH WILLIS 'GATOR TAIL' JACKSON GENE AMMONS STANLEY TURRENTINE CHARLES EARLAND NAT ADDERLEY JIMMY MCGRIFF SHIRLEY SCOTT EDDIE 'LOCKJAW' DAVIS RICHARD 'GROOVE' HOLMES LOU DONALDSON MILT JACKSON Now, it's SONNY STITT RAMSEY LEWIS AHMAD JAMAL GRANT GREEN GENE AMMONS JACK MCDUFF JIMMY MCGRIFF SHIRLEY SCOTT ILLINOIS JACQUET MILT BUCKNER LES MCCANN LOUIS ARMSTRONG HOUSTON PERSON NAT ADDERLEY JIMMY SMITH MILT JACKSON DR LONNIE SMITH EDDIE 'LOCKJAW' DAVIS STANLEY TURRENTINE JUNIOR MANCE Sonny Stitt is still #1, but there are definitely some different people in there. If I don't limit it to jazz, then Ray Charles, Youssou Ndour, Bembeya Jazz National and Chief Commander Ebeneezer Obey get in there.

xybert Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Greats wise i pretty much rotate around the usual suspects: Monk, Miles, Ornette, Ellington, Braxton, Threadgill, Mingus, Konitz, Zorn etc. Most recently it's been Stan Getz. On the less obvious side it would be John Hollenbeck, Steve Lehman, Harris Eisenstadt, Joe Morris and Ben Allison. On the less fashionable side it would be Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck and Wynton Marsalis (EDIT and Pat Metheny).

Carl Baugher Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 All things considered, Ornette or Miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danasgoodstuff Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Depends on what the're talking 'bout at the moment, and how I feel - sometimes I can't really hear my regulars at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertoart Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The usual. Regular rotation of soul jazz guitar players and organ for my never ending guitar studies, and then their free jazz progeny and associated saxophone cohorts. Plus a growing 'Spotify', habit to make playlists and listen to the great Soul singers like Ann Peebles, Syreeta, Gil Scott Heron, lots of soul era Albert King. There is a huge Contemporary White Soul scene in my capital city at the moment. Hoping it might migrate towards my slightly regional home base and stifle the 'post - hair metal' crowd. Ha Ha Ha.

mrjazzman Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I've been stuck on Nathan Davis lately. Talk about being obscure, under recorded, over looked, it would be N.D. If you like the sound of non free Trane, pick up the following titles, some will be difficult to find: The Best Of Nathan Davis '65-'66, Faces Of Love, If(if u like jazz funk), I'm A Fool To Want You, Jazz Concert In A Benedictine Monastery, 'Live' Jazz At Pitt-The 25th Anniversary Concert 2CD, London By Night, Makatuka, The Nathan Davis Sextet/Peace Treaty, Rules Of Freedom(get this one 1st if u can find it), Two Originals: Happy Girl&The Hip Walk, The 6th Sense In The 11th House, Suite For Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (get this one last unless u like your history in music). I think Billy Harper and Nathan Davis best carried the sound of Trane. Imo, Davis' ideas are more fluid and blusey than Harper's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you are correct, excuse me, I left out his sideman stuff. I've got to get the dvd live in '65.

I think Billy Harper and Nathan Davis best carried the sound of Trane. Imo, Davis' ideas are more fluid and blusey than Harper's. I discovered Nathan Davis on Dusko Goykovich's 'Swinging Macedonia'. He played quite a bit with Goykovich in Europe in the mid sixties, 'London by Night' is a product of that liason. 'Peace Treaty' got an (expensive) re-release on mini-lp CD in Japan a couple of years ago. Woody Shaw is in that outfit along with Kenny Clarke so it was a no-brainer for me. I don't see much stuff by Davis where I go shopping but he's someone l'd always want more of. If you don't have 'Swinging Macedonia' get it.

Homefromtheforest Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Nathan Davis is great...my personal favorites are the LPs for SABA but I also like the 2 Segue lps and the Peace Treaty record too...I find "Jazz Concert..." to be his most "Coltrane" sounding album that I have.
