mjazzg Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 So I'm listening to Teddy Charles's 'New Directions' which has some great interaction between Charles and Brookmeyer. Grachan Moncur's work with Bobby Hutcherson on 'Evolution' and the Jackie McLean albums are some of of my all time favourites and features the same instrumental combination. Any other suggestions? Preferably recordings of small groups not larger ensembles where the two instruments aren't so prominent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Maybe those J.J. Johnson/Al Cohn "Birdlanders" dates, which also included Milt Jackson? I'm sure you'll get many more responses, but that was the first one that popped into my head. Interesting topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I was just thinking about this last week after getting Marty Paich's Jazz City Workshop, with Larry Bunker on vibes and the mellifluous Herbie Harper on trombone. It led me to listen to the Nocturne box (the two discs I own), which has a Harry Babasin date with Bunker on vibes and Bob Enevoldsen on valve trombone.

Niko Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 My first idea was Miles Davis Blue Moods with Britt Woodman on trombone and Teddy Charles on vibes plus a world class rhythm section (Charles Mingus, Elvin Jones)... most of the involved musicians can also be heard to great advantage on even better albums... but the sound of the band is kind of unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thanks all, 'Blue Moods' I know but the other suggestions have gone straight on to the 'investigate' list keep them coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) How about Ralph Peterson ‘Introducing the Fo’tet’ on Blue Note? You get some good interaction on there between Bryan Carrott and Frank Lacy. Don Byron completes the front line.

sidewinder Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just now, mjazzg said: Yes, that's good 'un Fond memories of seeing Ralph and Don Byron in Byron’s group around that time. I did have a ticket for a Fo’tet gig with the Byron/Carrott lineup but it got cancelled, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambrasa Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think of Dave Holland outfits with Steve Nelson on vibes and Robin Eubanks on trombone. Recorded extensively for ECM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
