Mark Stryker Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Wow. What a document. Great charts. Slide plays his ass off on Mack the Knife -- the strength of his time and the hipness of his lines. On Milestones the speed, clarity, articulation are all incredibly impressive but nothing the substances of the lines means that nothing reads a simple change running. In the cadenza to Summertime he using circular breathing & multi-phonics. Something else ...

Head Man Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I recently bought all his recent Japanese Atlantic re-issues and I must say I was impressed. He's not someone I'd given a lot of attention to in the past but hearing these for the first time really opened up my ears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 How did I miss this one? Just noticed that a ‘new’ Slide Hampton Octet is playing Smalls this weekend and will definitely check it out on the video stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 what's notable about the line-ups is that the drummer of the new Slide Hampton Octet is Charles Ruggiero who uploaded the above videos because his dad plays on those. (It's an interesting youtube channel anyway, with a selection of Vinnie Ruggiero - and Charlie's own efforts that range from bop to hard rock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
