paul secor Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I've started at least a couple of threads like this before, and I just feel like starting another. Below are ten post-bop records that I feel are very good and overlooked. Fred Anderson/Harrison Bankhead: The Great Vision Concert (Ayler) Billy Bang: Outline No. 12 (Celluloid) Ronnie Boykins - ESP Bobby Bradford/Frode Gjerstad: Silver Cornet (Nessa) Al Francis/John Neves/Joe Hunt: Jazz Bohemia Revisited (Lost Cosmic Unity) Bill Lewis/Khan Jamal: The River (Philly Jazz) The Charles Moffett Family Vol. 1 (Charles Moffett) Quartet + 1 - Bob Ackerman/Pam Purvis/Wilber Morris/Denis Charles/Herb Robertson: And Now I Can See Crows Mating in the Mist (Cadence) Roswell Rudd/Giorgio Gaslini: Duo (Dischi Della Quercia) What We Live: Especially the Traveler Tomorrow (Metalanguage) I hope that others will join in. Feel free to add your own choices - as many as you want to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 What are the parameters needed to be classified as "post bop" Chronological? Musical? Cultural? Some? None" All? More? Serious question, I really don't know what some of these terms mean anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I think you have to answer that question yourself. No one else can answer it for you and make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Well then, the first thing that comes to mind is Presenting Eddie and The Falcons! Or all those first wave of post-Move Roy Wood records. I only discover them once they were in the cutout bins, and then, nobody I knew want to hear them. Roy Wood, that guy is severely overlooked, imo, and I know he didn't make any kind of record until after Bird was already dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 to the point of the original list, such as one might try to define it, I would think of that music as inside-outside. Most of the records Paul mentioned I have and can vouch that they fit this description in varying ways. more: Bill Dixon-Archie Shepp -- Quartet -- (Savoy) Bill Dixon 7-tette/The New York Contemporary Five -- (Savoy) Don Friedman -- Metamorphosis -- (Prestige) Grachan Moncur III -- New Africa -- (BYG) Peter Lemer -- Local Colour -- (ESP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I just used post-bop (and I'm not even sure what that means) as part of the thread title. Whether it's Roy Wood or whomever - if people are writing about their favorite music, it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) probably should be a separate category of post-'80s Downtown music a la Knitting Factory. 'Twas a brave new world. Without it I would still be sitting in a closet somewhere trying to play Confirmation the Barry Harris Way.
