Jazz for aficionados
East Broadway Rundown was "free" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVO4FDqG-4A Freddie Hubbard and John Coltrane's rythm section of Elvin Jones and Jimmy Garrison!! |
Earlier Sonny Rollins with the MJQ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHX5nGzNFVI You could here is genius even then! Percy Heath on the bass. I never met Percy but I worked with his son Stu in construction out on the east end of Long Island. Percy lived in Montauk. I remember Stu surfcasting under the lighthouse and pulling in one Striped Bass after another, many over 40 pounds. Stu fished at that rocky point and caught fish after fish while everyone else was getting snagged on rocks!! |
Rules for Aficionados 😇: - The alex rule: Like grandma always said, if you don’t have something positive to say, unless specifically asked, say nothing. - The pryso rule: There is no “best”. - The acman rule: Write as few words as possible, but post as much music as possible. - The mary_jo rule: Remember, sometimes “newbies” have the most insightfulness; less clutter to complicate matters. - ????? |
It was the way Stu applied the rythm to reeling in. The Striped Bass will stay underneath the Bluefish during a feeding frenzy. Therefore a surface lure will not get snagged but you will hook more Bluefish then Striped Bass. Stu would use a 2oz White bucktail with a white pork rind strip attached to the hook. You have to let this lure sink and then reel in slow and steady. The problem is all the jagged rocks beneath the surface out there that you could get snagged on. Stu would cast into the same area, let the lure sink and start reeling in and he never got snagged or "hung - up" as we call it. It was like he put a spell on his rig!! |
