Gheorghe Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 6 hours ago, HutchFan said: Is it possible that I saw him live with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band ? I think HE was the pianist. Jesper Lundgaard was on bass, Dick Oats and Steve Coleman where saxophonists, Pepper Adams on bari I think, so I think I remember Jim McNeely was on piano......, was a very fine night, to hear that legendary band. After Thad Jones had left the band, it was not the same anymore, most of all because they got Bob Brookmeyer to compose and arrange. Nothing against Broockmeyer, he sure has many fans here, but in my case the connections did not happen. It may be my fault, but I didn´t hear anything that thrilled me.... A treasure from my early teenie years. From the first few bars a livelong favourite of mine. I think, Sun Ra, late Trane, Pharoah Sanders and Dolphy where main sources to live that miracle of good music.... Quote
jazzbo Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 500×500 21.4 KB Ike Quebec “Easy Living” Blue Note Japan cd Ike was very important to the Blue Note label. Had he lived longer we would have had more interesting work from him as a leader, sideman and A&R man. . . but then we would have not had the same Duke Pearson albums we did or the same albums he arranged and co-produced. He had such a great sound. Here he has great players with him. Ike Quebec - tenor saxophone Bennie Green - trombone (tracks 1–5) Stanley Turrentine - tenor saxophone (tracks 1–5) Sonny Clark - piano Milt Hinton - bass Art Blakey - drums Quote
jazzbo Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Orrin Evans “The Magic of Now” Smoke Sessions cd. Orrin with Immanuel Wilkins. A great listen. Quote
