Jazz for aficionados

I saw them play together both in Dave Holland’s Big band and Octet, both of which feature vibes in place of piano.

If you’re not familiar with Holland’s discography, you’re missing one of the premier Jazz bassists.

I was fortunate to see Holland’s celebrated Quintet, that included Potter, 4 times:

I know Dave Holland... I even have plenty of him... I prefer to recommend here less known name who are great...😊

I look for jazzman i did not even know the name... I admire Oscar peterson and i love particularly his albums dedicated to other composers... but everyone here know Peterson or Holland...

How many know Alex Sipiagin , Igor Butman , or Jan Johansson who is a real genius ?

I did not even read their name before discovering them by chance... I like to track unknown geniuses... Like a hunter track a deer in his rifle sight...😁

I am in the hunt right now in Japan jazz, Russian jazz, Nordic countries jazz, in particular...

I already know Potter as a great sax player but how did you feel about the russian trumpet ?

I like him and i want to listen more...

That makes sense !

I like Sipiagin’s playing enough to check out his work as a leader.

Don't know why I haven't done so, already.  

I just looked at his All Music listing and there are more releases than I'd expected, including several with Chris Potter. This will be a fun exploration.

Wow! thanks...

I did not have anything of him...

Great musician at first minutes of listening...
