Jazz for aficionados

@stuartk , for me, yes.  An argument can be made that Tabackin is the better flute player, but for me (and others) Farrel is the better Jazz player.  Tabackin is a more “impressive” player in that he plays with a huge sound and has a more aggressive approach same as with his tenor playing, but Farrel’s improvisations have a more sophisticated compositional approach.  Both great players with different styles.

 Btw, Farrel was Tabackin’s mentor and helped him get established as a player and would have Farrel sub for him on gigs:

@stuartk,

Bravo! This is for the Flora (Purim) and Airto Moreira Live, I’ve not had a chance to go through all the Righteous Posts you cool ass folks have post here, so please, keep em’ coming.

Just curious, when you said "no moving jazz element" re: the Stones, did you mean it didn’t "move you" emotionally, or did you mean something else? 

He does not moves me at all...

But later i recognized the blues element present in the Stones music for sure...

I did not knew blues at 14 ...

When i discovered it it was with John Lee Hooker who moves me  at 17 way more than the Stones... 

Thanks frogman for Joe Farrel recommendation...

A new player for me ...

I trust all your recommendation... 

Glad to see the great Joe Farrel get some love.  Fabulous player.  One of my very favorite saxophone players and arguably the best Jazz flutist  of all time.  Left us way too soon. Check your audiophile hats at the door and check out this amazing bootleg of Joe’s quintet with Tom Harrel.  Probably my favorite Tom Harrel on any recording.
