Jack Teagarden β€œThink Well of Me” Verve Elite cd

Β 

028e9919524fd76aac3068037b770a9072bb24e6
Β 
This music again, this time on cd. In this case they are both great. The LP is a bit more β€œlaid back” and atmospheric. This cd is focused and more room-filling with detailed strings and harp and the sound of Jack’s trombone (how I love that sound!) is big and dynamic. Don Goldie’s trumpet is also brilliant and full. (Man that guy can play). I’m glad I have both formats. One day maybe I’ll grab a mono LP.

ItΒ΄s a very good album but the best stuff was still to come. My favourite albums of him are from 1965-1967, his most creative period. If I should choose only two of them it might be "All Seeing Eye" and "Schizophrenia".Β 
The next Shorter I have is only from my favourite group "VSOP" .Β 
I saw him live in 2005 but it was a more subtile music, it didnΒ΄t have that power that I love.Β 

When I started listening jazz I had trouble connecting to his sound. But a few years ago there it was and I love his whole Blue Note output. All Seeing Eye and Etcetera are my favorites but I learned to love them all.Β 
Β 

I had a similar experience with Jackie McLeans music. Evidence that it’s good to revisit those artists you don’t really dig.

Even about Chet Baker I heard for the first time in 1978 when there was an article about him in Jazz Podium. But needless I became a fan of Chet, as soon as I heard him first, but it was another Chet Baker than the one who got famous in the 50Β΄s .

Well I prefer his earlier recordingsΒ  in the Mulligan 4tet and was glad to find these 2 comps

which were issued in Japan only.

Well I think the Sound of Shorter is a bit strange compared to other great tenorists, but I think I was made for the sounds that didnΒ΄t appeal to everybody, I mean Jackie McLean......as soon as I heard him I was "hooked" . It must have to do with the times I lived in and the jazz community I was surrounded by ......and my own personality which can be a bit difficult at sometimes.Β 

I practically started with Mingus-Dolphy collaboration, Dolphy was my first hero on alto and I think this has much to do with my preference of saxophone soundΒ  and approach of the notes......
