Rooster_Ties Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 While I've definitely enjoyed a number of their releases apart, both before and since -- ain't nothin' better (by either one solo) than Greg Osby and Jason Moran together -- and I dearly hope they work together again someday (and hope to have the chance to suggest that to them, presumably individually, any/every chance I get -- until the day it happens -- and hopefully gets recorded). Your thoughts on other jazz artists who you enjoy a lot better together, than apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 There are many bass/drums teams that would qualify for their special chemistry, e.g.: Percy Heath & Connie Kay Israel Crosby & Vernel Fournier ... or Don Patterson & Billy James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I agree with Mike about rhythm teams - though I'm not sure about Patterson and James - both were great(er?) in other contexts. My rhythm teams that were greater than the sum of their parts would be McDuff, Benson & Dukes Spencer, Sparks & Muhammad (aka The Mod Squad) Boogaloo Joe Jones & Bernard Purdie I'm tempted to add Patton, Green and Dixon but, like Patterson and James, they were great(er?) in other contexts. Of course, they were DIFFERENT in other contexts, so one could say that being together brought something out that didn't come with other people. And that applies to Patterson and James.

mikeweil Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 .... though I'm not sure about Patterson and James - both were great(er?) in other contexts. Hmmm ... IMO Patterson was best on his own or with Stitt - and Billy James was on drums more often than not. Which recordings do you have in mind?

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 My favourite Pattersons are all without James: The return of Don Patterson These are soulful days Why not Not that the others aren't brilliant, but they're different.

colinmce Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Billy Higgins & Butch Warren on Blue Note is the classic pairing, but when Billy played with Ornette he really took on new dimensions. I'll always enjoy him most in that context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
