I owe it to this thread, and Andre Previn to post my thoughts on him and his musical abilities. He's clearly not given the credit he deserves as a jazz musician, but many jazz musicians are not given any credit at all, so maybe that's just the disparity in regard to the two different genres; Classical and jazz. I first became acquainted with Mr. Previn's music in the form of "My Fair Lady"; it was "West Coast" cool and hip in a different kind of way. This is as hip as it gets, that cat could jam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCSQlmUnMFs You talking about style; you had to have been there on the set at that time, and seen some slinky long legged chick in black leotards looking like a slinky black cat and moving to this music; those were the days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZKzTMr1M5E Linda Lawson put this into words that fit those times; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA81pRYtEXc May he rest in peace, somewhere as hip and cool as his music. |
listening to the Paul Motian Band on the ECM label it sounds terrific on my system. Compared to the Stanley Turrentine Cherry recording I mentioned last week. Like night and day. same system same adjustments. This one I really dig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBKk67G5F-8 |
