Jazzmoose Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 First off, I have to agree with Hans: in general the drums/percussion part is too loud. On some tracks it's quite okay, but on a track like Back Together... (tr. 3) I notice too much drums and too little saxophone. I enjoyed my first exposure to Drake's drumwork so much, I disagreed with you at first. However, having just listened to Fred Anderson's Back at the Velvet Lounge for the first time, I can understand your point. I can't believe I'm just discovering these two artists. God, I love this music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I just read that the Milford Graves/John Zorn duets from Zorn's 50th birthday series have been released on TZADIK. I have a recording of the two at FIMAV 1999 and am a big fan of Milford Graves drumming. I thought this might be of interest to some here. Definitely a different drummer, a different saxophonist as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted April 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Well, for someone like me who is just getting his feet wet in the current free jazz scene, it's a godsend! I've picked up quite a few gems that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. The younger posters there are definitely teaching this old dog (okay, middle-aged dog, Chuck!) a few new tricks!

Guest Chaney Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 (edited) Younger? Yea, sure! Hans, you and I are just kids! Must be referring to those... other ones. Young at heart, I guess. Edited April 25, 2004 by Chaney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted April 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Young at heart, I guess. Damn straight! Younger tastes, at least. You guys are dragging me out of my hard bop comfort whether I want to go or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
