Your last link of "The Montreal Tapes" is the same trio with Haden as the leader on the album cover and with 4 different songs. I'm going to buy that disc!
Jazz for aficionados
acman3 those are great JH selections. "I have the complete State of the Tenor" double disc set and lush life. I also have "An Evening with Joe Henderson" with Charlie Haden and Al Foster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvksR_tcAKk Your last link of "The Montreal Tapes" is the same trio with Haden as the leader on the album cover and with 4 different songs.

A wealth of riches! Fantastic Joe Henderson clips. Thanks, all. Gotta love YouTube! Check out Joe’s solo as a member of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra live in 1970. Amazing! One of the very few modern tenor players whose playing shows practically no hint of Coltrane. Total original: https://youtu.be/hTFhcL-YrDU Fast forward to 31:12 (if you must ☹️) to hear Joe trade fours with Eddie Daniels. |
It feels good just to check your postings guys. It seems as if you always have an ace up your sleeve when you speak about jazz. Great music, love it. pjw, when I saw the news about Gilberto, I remembered you and your admiration for Gilberto. Speaking of jazz sessions, had a privilege to attend one yesterday. The live jazz show as the part of the summer festival was held in a small but pitoresque town called Solin - a town with rich cultural and national heritage, located on the river called Jadro and in the very vicinity of second largest town in Croatia - Split. The romantic place with warm and intimate atmosphere. A perfect place for jazz. I went there alone since my friends do not listen jazz at all. Why they do not listen it, can’t tell but I am sure that the reason is, among other things, in the fact that jazz shows are not happening that often. You can’t learn to love, what you can’t see or hear, right? Anyway, I was in my little black dress, all dressed up, looking all shiny under the city lights. Ok, maybe I was not quite like Bety from orpheus first post but I surely felt like it. That counts too, right? The guys were good. Their rare YT link: https://youtu.be/Twg_5XRlxCw The audience numbered maybe 20 enthusiasts at the beginning. Those were serious listeners. Later, when the session was on it’s peak, more people came. Couldn’t figure was that because they heard good music (the door were widely opened) or it was getting too cold outside so they had to take a cozy shelter somewhere. All in all, jazz rules. Ok, maybe not all jazz. Other music sucks. Ok, maybe not all other music. But... |
They play well together and play beautiful , what more can you want ? As you well know, all the ex-Yugoslav lands have had about every turmoil and grief there is after Tito . Countries in Europe where jazz is really big, like Germany and France, have a history of jazz going back to the 1920's when there was no rock and roll etc . Hercules would have a hard time establishing jazz even there today . USA can keep a jazz culture of sorts because 3% of 300 million is still a lot of people . That said you never know what could happen in Croatia, a bunch of kids could make jazz popular with their smart phones ! I don't doubt you were the hottest woman there , great to see you are back . |
