Jazz for aficionados
The 6 albums Blue note is one of my favorite Hammond box....
I cannot live without it... Larry Young so different he plays than many others Hammond players is efficient, musical, self restraint, and servicing the music more than himself. I love him. All musicians with him are great especially here. Hypnotizing relaxing music so well done than we are less surprised than moved and then immersed...

Wayne Shorter was indeed magical. I would take that assessment a step further. One of the reasons that he was magical was that he fit Miles’ creative vision in that the music had to always move forward stylistically; to evolve. If one looks at Shorter’s work over the course of his career this stylistic evolution is amazing, from his early work to hard bop, to that as cofounder of Weather Report, to “World Music” and his later solo work. Coleman, on the other hand always stayed firmly in a hard bop/post bop vein. |
Frogman, as always an excellent point. Let's not forget Wayne Shorter as a composer. It was always Mile's band, but in a group with Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and Ron Carter, Shorter was effectively the co-leader. There's a wonderful documentary on Shorter called "Zero Gravity". It's about his childhood, his spirituality, drinking, composing, death of loved ones and a lot about working with Miles Davis. Highly recommended. |
Ohnwy61, couldn’t agree more re Shorter the composer. One of the most important modern Jazz composers. Some would say the most important. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k_S9vI2ODPguv7DmtgAJ8frd1yj5dSGgA&si=R3g6Eo64dAJgGfPG |
