The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 Nice article Mark. You missed out a reference to David Newman's 'Fathead' from '59. Marcus' (and everybody's) playing on that is wonderful! That album played a very big part in developing my taste in the early 60s. A couple of other good 'uns are Roland ALexander's 'Pleasure bent' (New Jazz & OJC) and 'Detroit's grand piano man, by Earl Van Riper on Parkwood - just trumpet, piano and bass; very lovely. MG Quote

MG Thanks. Those records are on my radar but didn't have room to mention everything. When I expand this piece for my book, they'll be a more thorough look at the discography ... Quote

Lazaro Vega Posted August 27, 2012 Report Posted August 27, 2012 Nice piece! Sounds like Sunday's going to be a special night -- on Horace Silver's birthday, no less. Quote
