GA Russell Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Among players younger than me, I like Joey Calderazzo. I saw Carl Schroeder with Roy Haynes and George Adams in Washington, I think the spring of 1970. It was shortly before the Roy Haynes Hip Ensemble album came out. I really enjoyed that concert.

BillF Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Stanley Cowell.Still active and his new album "Juneteenth" just got a nice mini-review in the NY Times.Pleased he's still active. Saw him a looong time ago - with Max Roach in the 60s and Woody Shaw in the 70s.I'm jealous - have never seen him.I REALLY would have liked to see the Strata East reunion in London earlier this year!STRATA EAST LIVE SOUNDS SUBLIME AT BARBICAN Cowell and Tolliver are clearly long-term associates. They were both in that Roach group I saw in the late 60s - along with Odean Pope and Jymie Merritt. To turn the clock forward a good deal, Harper and McBee from the Strata East gig also toured with The Cookers which I saw at The Sage, Gateshead in April.

soulpope Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Dailey's "The Day After the Dawn" I tried to track down. It's unavailable from Amazon and few other sites I checked.I do have Daily on Art Farmer's "The Time and the Place." I bought mainly because I thought it was the album from 1967 with Jimmy Heath on the recording. It turned out to be a completely different recording. It is the Mosaic single. I am glad it was not the one I thought. It is real good.  definitely .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 No love for Hasaan here?There's a thread somewhere ... honestly with the one record around, I find it hard to judge ... it's an exciting enough album, but how much of it is Hasaan's doing? To me it sounds very much like a group effort, with Roach and his longtime sidekick Art Davis (speak about overlooked bass players!) "embedding" and carrying whatever comes from the piano. If you hear a certain ambivalence about Hasaan between the lines, you're quite right - I sort of gave up judging him on the meagre basis we have, but I judge the album alright, and I enjoy hearing it once in a while, but wouldn't exactly call it a masterpiece. The thread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Another that just came to mind. Jack Wilson. I have his three Blue Note recordings, which are all fine. Outside of those, I don't recall anything else, but he was a fine player0 Edited July 16, 2015 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Pope was playing with Hasaan Ibn Ali in the 60s so I assume Roach knew his work. While maybe surprising, it wouldn't be impossible that they played together around that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roach made a point of drawing attention to what he called the "old English names" of his group, suggesting a complicity in slavery on the part of the English audience.

JSngry Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 There we go, thanks dudes. Ventured a guess of accuracy but didn't feel like going down the rabbit hole of TRUTH at the moment. I get the impression that there were "open lines of communication" between NYC & Philly back in the day...people knew who was doing what where, and when. Might be a tangential (or stronger) correlation to NOI activities of the time adding to that, can't/won't claim any hard knowledge of that one way or the other. What it's like now, no idea.
