Jazz for aficionados
Hiromi Uehara is releasing a new album October 6th 2023!! Sonicwonder is the title and she will be at Sony Hall in NYC for an "album release show" on Friday October 13 and Saturday 14. I already purchased tickets. Hiromi has a new 3 piece band backing her. See here: Hiromi’s Sonic Wonder - 6/24/23 CBJF, Wilmington DE - YouTube

I know I am probably (based on threads history) the only fan of Hiromi Uehara here on JFA but I did not expect all of the esteemed jazz aficionados here, who have been posting regularly all week, to "tune out" upon seeing my Hiromi post... Anyway... There has been a lot of talk about trumpet players recently with many of the greats being mentioned. Everybody here knows (from thread history) that Clifford Brown is my favorite trumpet player after the great Mr. Louis Armstrong. The Clifford Brown Max Roach Quintet was described by the New York Times as "perhaps the definitive bop group until Mr. Brown's fatal automobile accident in 1956". Here are a few standouts from their repertoire: With Harold Land on tenor sax (2) Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Joy Spring - YouTube (2) Clifford Brown & Max Roach Quintet - Daahoud - YouTube (2) Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Delilah - YouTube Sonny Rollins on tenor sax (2) I'll Remember April - Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street - YouTube More with Sonny Rollins on Rollins' album Sonny Rollins Plus 4. This is essentially the same quintet but recorded and released with Rollins as the leader. |
