big fan of Terri Lynne Carrington. How is your JD collection growing?Happy Listening!
|
|
Check out Terri Lyne Carrington. Very musical like JD! I saw her with Ravi Coltrane and Dave Holland a couple of weeks ago at the Healdsburg jazz festival. I was as impressed with her drumming as JD's !! |
I love JD's drum sound; it always seems to be impeccably recorded and just right in the mix, but I suspect the overriding factor in why he sounds wonderful on so many recordings is that his musicianship is among the very best in the world.
...also a good listen, The Jack DeJohnette Piano Album
|
Played on a few Geri Allen releases.
|
Check out a few of those Eric Kloss records.Happy Listening!

Good to see you - russellcncomhow many discs have you acquired now? Which titles?
Happy Listening!

A great treat is the DVD of Miles Davis, 1970 Isle of Wight performance, just to see the eye contact communication/enjoyment between a young Jack and Dave as the relentlessly keep the groove going. Kinda telepathic.
|
incredible musician. i'm a big fan of the earlier ecm recordings with Jarrett, Holland, kenny wheeler, etc. would strongly recommend the two gateway albums on ecm. unfortunately, these are not available on tidal. |

@greg22lz @jafant - I'm not much of a jazz fan. However, I heard "Timeless" from John Abercrombie w/Jan Hammer and Jack De Johnette sometime in the late 1970's and I've been a fan ever since. I had it on original ECM LP, sold it when I got out of vinyl years ago, bought it on CD and bought it again on LP when I got back into vinyl again a few years ago. I don't necessarily love the whole album, but the title track "Timeless" is one of my all time favorites. It is "real" ambient music, not the digitally synthesized drivel that is so popular today. Love the whole ensemble, but I especially love the drums as the song builds... Turn down the lights and slip into 12 minutes of bliss........ John Abercrombie, Jan Hammer and Jack De Johnette - "Timeless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHsZ_-9442o |
I buy every disc that features JD, especially, those that also feature Dave Holland (Bassist). Excellent suggestions as above Greg.
I will continue to post as I learn of more JD recordings/releases. Additionally, I have a very large, almost complete, Coltrane collection to boot.
Happy Listening! |
@jafant no real update on Jack. I have been listening to a lot of Coltrane. I saw 'Chasing Trane' and was sort of fired up again in a new way about his life and music. Qiute the musician he is. My DeJohnette years go back a long way. I had a cassette tape of him that I listened to over and over during the period from 1978 to 1980, until it failed. I then bought the CD along with come other DeJohnette back then. That particular cassette was 'Gateway 2' and I still like to listen to that occasionally. I know there is a large body of work by him but I find myself more interested in live recordings, even if they aren't great recordings. Live has a much more interesting feel and energy. What about you? Regards, Greg

greg22lz,
an update on your Jack DeJohnette collection?
Happy Listening!
|
Add this one to your collection;
Betty Carter - Feed The Fire
|
Yes - I heard a snippet on NPR and bought the vinyl when it came out a month later or so. Impeccably produced and fine musicianship from all concerned. Jack floats around the kit with a light touch; he's as much a lead musician as a drummer on this one.
|
greg22lz-
how is your collection of Jack DeJohnette?
Do not forget his discs w/ Keith Jarrett, Whisper Not and Always Let Me Go,
are outstanding!
Happy Listening!
|
An excellent suggestion- fromunda. Happy Listening! |
In Motion is a superb “classic trio” album albeit with a modern tip. Garrison plays electric bass and also loops some interesting soundscapes under the music. Coltrane and DeJohnette play with fire and passion. I searched for this on vinyl from ECM and found it. Not cheap but beautifully pressed and sounds wonderful. Saw Ravi Coltrane in Napa (Blue Note Cafe) a few months back and after the show we chatted and he signed the In Motion LP for my 8 year old son. Wonderful man and boy can be blow! |
Good to read that you liked Hudson- greg22lz
|
@jafant
Hudson was incredible in every way!
