Jazz for aficionados
Wanted to post the last Jazz album I purchased on LP. It was back in the early 80's in El Paso, Texas. Could not find Arthur Blythe's 'elaboration', but did find this. Love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V027YTD1qOg you-tube continued to run and this came up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuIos1mRwyo Cheers |
Arthur Blythe, without a doubt one of the most unique alto sounds with that fast vibrato. He was one of the first pre-"young lions". Caused quite a stir when he came on the scene and I lost track of him and his work. Interesting player. I like him in limited doses. "Hackensack": one of my very favorite clips on all of YouTube. I posted this here twice before; must have slipped through the cracks. Two fabulous tenor players who could hardly be more different stylistically. The other clip from the same performance: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8egSzCBCie0 |
I like to look at, errrr I mean, I like to listen listen to this CD from time to time. Fantastic tune lineup. JALC should do something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSqHZy3JbH4 Nice solo by Michael Brecker. Cheers |
"segue": to transition smoothly from one topic to another. In music: to proceed without pause from one theme to another. In the "Groves Dictionary Of Music" one can find "segue" right before "Señor Blues" which can be found right before Silver (Horace). Nicely done, Rok 😊 O-10, you're up! Nice clip, btw. |
The earliest Silver I could find. (1953) Sadly, I don't have this one. Horace Silver Trio & Art Blakey + Sabu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Nbw2h3KXk The earliest Silver I have (1954): Horace Silver -- HORACE SILVER AND THE JAZZ MESSENGERS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu4o65SwUIw He wrote some great tunes. How did he stand among his peers as a player? Cheers |
