Agreed. 1 minute ago, JSngry said: Freddie Green or Bennie Green? I love Bennie Green, but Freddie's just so omnipresent with Basie's band. Impossible to imagine that band without his rhythm. So I gotta go Freddie G. Speaking of Basie... Frank Foster or Frank Wess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteepleChase. Muse gets credit for releasing albums from younger artists, but their covers were ugly, there was little promotion behind their releases, and there were too many of them, so most seem undifferentiated.

They were putting out all sorts of interesting music in the 80s -- John Carter, Billy Hart, Anthony Davis, Oliver Lake, Bob Moses, James Newton, et al. IMO, they were one of the best labels of the decade -- right up there with Black Saint/Soul Note. ECM in the 70s or ECM in the 80s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much flashy diddling from Freddie at times. Without being at all solemn, Hardman was a serious player. Herman Chittison or Clarence Profit Mickey Tucker or Walter Davis Jr. Sonny Red Kyner or John Jenkins I consider Hardman a very fine and serious player, at the same level as Hubbard and Morgan. All 3 have their really fine moments, and sometimes the level drops a bit for each of them. Blue Mitchell is another top player who may be perhaps just a hair below those 3? Walter Davis Jr. he swings far more that Tucker Sonny Red Kyner - more soulful than Jenkins Sal Nistico - Tubby Hayes plays a lot of notes very fast, but lacks the depth I hear in Nistico's tenor work.

Move You Hand or Grant Green Alive! ? Move Your Hand v. GG Alive! (at the Cliché Lounge) is hard, both for their virtues and their faults, I'll take the recordings from the Club Mozambique in Detroit by either over either of those though, if that makes any sense. Better jazz and better funk. All lovely records that I enjoy. But things go to heck for me pretty soon after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
