John Tapscott Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Ms. York is a new discovery, for me anyway. A really fine, bop based pianist. Originally from Canada, now resident in the Chicago area. I really like her playing with the Affinity Trio. Lots of interesting YouTube videos, as well. Quote

I once read that he was hip enough to hire modernists from after his most productive years.....starting with Fats......and a lot of other mojo guys in the 60´s and 70´s. Right? At least I was told that. Alice Coltrane at Carnegie Hall, with all those fantastic musicians, Pharoah, Shepp and the two basses and drums and percussion ....Heaven on Earth for me !!!!! 😍 Quote

The most easily lsted are: Bill McGuffiePiano Bobby OrrDrums John McLevyTrumpet I'm a big Benny fan in part because my Dad was (and played a bit of clarinet and bass clarinet) and in part because I heard him give a talk and play while I was at the University of Chicago, and then listened to and collected over the years. He was an early integrator of races in his band and with his arrangers and he did keep up with all the swing changes and dipped his toes gingerly around the perimeters of other jazz realms. I think he's an excellent soloist, from the start and into his late career. This 2 cd/2 LP set has some modern touches on the arrangements and McLevy in particular has nice solos. Quote
