Jazz for aficionados

Thanks @mahgister for defining roll. Have you watched the "duel of the sonny's"?

I know you like classical music and here is a reply to the "duel of the sonny's" from another classical student/listener...

One of the things to remember, Stitt was 33 at the time of this recording while Rollins was only 27 giving the young Turk even more incentive to bring his "A" game. What enthusiasm presenting this classic breakdown of the tenor battle on the tune "Eternal Triangle". You helped me see how both had their own ways of interpreting the changes and made clear the use of their "go to" licks and tricks. As one who had classic training, seeing this helped me recognize how even classical composers shared/borrowed some of the ideas these two giants set down for all to hear, appreciate and even analyze. Tractor noises, who cares when you end up with what you posted.

Yes i remember this album between Stitt and Rollins ... I loved it....

You remind me to listen to it anew... The only reason i did not listen to it for a long time is the limit of my dac bank music files...It does not contains all my musical files but only a fraction , less than 1/2 giga byte... I use this dac bank because i am off the grid  with my battery dac and the sound quality is better than when i was using my computer memory as bank...

Thanks @mahgister for defining roll. Have you watched the "duel of the sonny’s"?

When its "roll" the reference is not only to the balancing movement of the player body, but to his ability to improvise a CONTINUOUSLY transformative rythm who do not swing but who rolls one beat into another new one without end...

 

Elvin Jones!

I see him in person when i was 20 years old...In quebec city...

It was "rolling" for sure...

But "rolling" dont refer only to drummers  "beat" ...

Elvin Jones!

Lucky you!  And my wife and I love Quebec -- especially the Charlevois region.

As it happens, my Boucher acoustic guitar is built in the province.

OK. I'll be the first to admit I don't fully understand what the term means. Reading your descriptions, Elvin Jones happened to be the first artist that sprang to mind.
