Today’s Listen: Art Blakey, Dr. John, Fathead Newman -- BLUESIANA TRIANGLE Windham Hill Jazz. Expect the unusual. Used to hear and sing some of these when I was a child. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7B7Yv61PAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhR5cX4tS5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7aINNmnlng Aren’t we all glad Blakey chose drums over singing.

Jumping in midstream here so if you've covered him already, my apologies. I'm talking about Gato Barbieri. The tools of most great jazz musicians have a distinct voice regardless of what instrument they play. When you hear Miles, Coltrane, Jamal, etc, there's no mistaking them for someone else. Their voice is immediately recognizable. The same can be said of Gato's tenor. It takes only a few notes to identify his tenor's unique sound. Very underrated tenor IMHO. Thoughts on Gato? J.Chip |
