Jazz for aficionados

@mahgister 

How can one say that anyone is better or worse than Peterson. They are both great pianists. I can and have listened to both for days on end.

I explicitly said that i cannot approve or contradict these impressions from Richard Williams (not my impression then it is a quote) . I quote it to add to my own opinion about Montoliu ...

I put it to reveal that not all jazz afficionados takes Montoliu ,underestimated in America, as a secondary pianist but as one who can rival Peterson in the same way Chet Baker rival Miles Davis in his own individual way .

In music all great musicians are beside one another on the same podium for different reasons linked to their soul/body individual unique expression ...

i like Peterson as i like Bill Evans , Keith Jarrett , Brad Meldhau, Montoliu , or few japanese pianists unknown here or Bill Charlap etc ..

Montoliu and Bill Evans and Jarrett and Peterson are my favorite ...but the lists of the one i loved is too long to put here .....

jazz is no more an American genre for many decades after the war now ...

Jan Johansson  from sweden is one of the great jazz pianist i love  for example :

I’ve been listening to Mammal Hands this morning. I believe they only have 7 albums out so far, but from what I have heard so far, they are well mixed and recorded.

Nothing life changing, but a very pleasant listen.

I think Chet Baker can sing better than Miles Davis.😁

Thats the problem i had....

For me Miles Davis is the best trumpet player...

No doubt ...

But Baker sing better with or without trumpet ...😊

I am in a bar and the dude in front of me speak and mumble a bit ...

He spoke to me right now and if you want listening Baker i can say what he spoke about with his words coming as a cigarette smoke ...

Thats how Baker can play when he is not too much on drug ...😁

And he did  it two times learning anew with  with no teeth...

Then he does not play as this with only his mouth it takes what we must call a soul as in Armstrong playing i forgot speaking of Miles as the best which is true as Jupiter exist  ...

Armstrong is the sun.... Baker is the moon ....Miles is Jupiter .... Evident for me ....

It is jazz planetology 101 ... 😊
