orpheus10, I'm glad you liked the "Unreleased Art". There are 10 volumes and some of them have multiple discs "Blues For The Fisherman" has 4 discs and all 4 are outstanding. There is another 6 volume series titled "West Coast Sessions" with many great musicians on them including Sonny Stitt, Shelly Manne, and Jack Sheldon to name a few. frogman, Although unawares until today that Cannonball and Stan had recorded with string orchestra's, Being an Art Pepper completist I have his session with a string orchestra its called "Winter Moon" and it is a really good session. This song off of Winter Moon is another that he wrote for Laurie Pepper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWLacnTFK1o |
acman3, Doug Watkins is a great bass player. Every time I think of Watkins I hear Art Blakey’s intro of the band live at Café Bohemia. Quoting Art word for word: "On the bass all the way from motor city ladies and gentlemen, one of the youngest and finest bass players in the business today, Our Bassist Doug Watkins!...Doug Watkins! |
One of the great drummers we tend to forget . I was blessed in sitting for a hour while he practiced with a gifted young pianist who had just graduated from college and made a few small nervous mistakes . Joe was as sweet and helpful to her as if she was his child . https://youtu.be/EbR8G6YNuUM?t=5 |
