Indeed.

I am trying to think of a jazz guitarist who started incorporating rock-like influences into their playing before Hahn did, and I'm not sure I can name one. Maybe Gabor Szabo? I think that's mostly Szabo being Szabo.

 

Larry Coryell comes to mind.

Some heavy in-law stuff going down and I haven't had a lot of listening time the last few days, but I'm getting a little solo time this evening. Started off with this one, which I couldn't find for a few months and wanted to hear badly, and finally discovered it had slipped down behind a bookcase.

The BossaReNova Trio, "Samba Preludio"

I sure needed to hear the lovely voice of Paula Morelenbaum.

I am spinning this one now--It's been too long. I really like this one, one of the first if not the first live performances of Wayne with the Quintet. The sound is very good and the playing is spirited.

Coryell is another one, but he didn't appear on record until 1967. The Handy recording documents a 1965 performance.

The first Grant Green I ever purchased, this one just holds up very well for me.

Jovino Santos Neto "Because of You"

This is perhaps my favorite Jobim tribute release of the past decade. Wonderful playing and sound.

A nice EMI compilation of tracks from the BN catalog covering Burt Bacharach tunes. It's from the mid 90s and I think the whole series (I also have a Blue 60s) was commissioned by Dean Rudland from the UK. There are terrific covers by Stanley Turrentine, Reuben Wilson, The 3 Sounds and m.o.
