mikeweil Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 (edited) One of my underrated favourites is Earl May, whom most may know from his participation on an early Coltrane Prestige session (but even the CD reissue does not include the alternate take of the Blues tune): What really opened up my ears for his playing was this Mickey Tucker album: Edited May 12 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) 18 hours ago, optatio said: I remember Jack Gregg, he was often in Göttingen, Gunter Hampel's hometown. Here is a photo from the Göttingen venue 'Blue Note' in 1976 with Allan Praskin (fl) and Joe Pentzlin (p). Jack Gregg recorded 9 albums with Gunter Hampel and 5 albums with Marion Brown - Marion was also often here in our town. hah, Allan hasn´t changed much ! I have played with him for decades and I think if I only would have met him in 1976 and the second time right now, I still would have recognized him: Now he´s 75 and still looks ultra hip, still long hair and so, and so great playin´. The 3 gigs I had with him about 3 weeks ago, it was heaven on earth, especially the 3rd day. My own compositon "Blues for Allan" ( Alessa Records, ALR 1131) is dedicated to his very personal style of playing, I´d recommend it to all who love Allan.

colinmce Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 A few off the top of my head: Reggie Johnson Vattel Cherry Motoharu Yoshizawa John Lockwood Ed Schuller Jay Oliver Doug Matthews Earl Freeman Lisle Ellis Russell Thorne Chuck Domanico Alexander Frangenheim Kiyoshi Tokunaga Hans Schneider These folks are maybe just outside the bounds of both obscurity and underratedness, but I will still throw in 3 of my pantheon bassists: Sirone Alan Silva Buschi Niebergall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
