Jazz for aficionados

I like so much Paul Desmond with Jim Hall ...

Or Sadao Watanabe some of his pure jazz albums...

Like Chet Baker they dont show off, they dont play the saxophone, they speaks and sing with it...

Any great musician if it show off , even if it is a genius repel me...

I can  admire them but not to listen to them many hundred times ...

But the one i listened hundred or thousand times are the one who sing a song , and dont need to prove themselves as master...

Sadao Watanabe is very unrecognized in america... Paul Desmond is more well recognized... I like their humble stance facing a song .... They serve it and never use it for a show... The greatest musician dont prove anything and dont feel the need to...They only sing and spoke...

It is only my "taste" and takes...😊

Watanabe in "tokyo dating" .... One of my beloved album among the 10 i owned  ..

Yes. I want to hear a song about what it means to be human. A song about how fast someone can move their fingers or how many notes they can play is not a very interesting song... well, not interesting to me, at least!  But perhaps the greatest masters are those who can utilize impeccable technique and still "serve the song", whether playing simply or in a highly complex manner.

I haven’t listened to Sadao Watanabe in a long while.  Thanks for jogging my brain. I’ll play an album or two today.😁

Pick the right one...

The more purely jazz one are the best for me...

I kept only 10... but they are Magical...

but Dolphy tends to not hit many pitches straight on -- his sound is quite "wobbly" in terms of intonation, overall, and this I do not enjoy.

I don't know what you mean by "wobly"..Maybe you can define it another way or post a song pointing it out so I can listen.

I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music. I really like Dolphy's Out To Lunch album as well as the album Out There...

I love Coltrane (who dosen't) but his chaotic creations at the end I cannot listen to.

I like Sam Rivers playing on Contours...
