| Jazz for aficionados As for jazz ’purists’ among us, (meaning Rok this time) I am posting this two next clips, of two (in fact three ) great albums that everyone should have.First is called ’Best Coast Jazz’ from 1954.with Clifford Brown and all star group. Here is th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I believe that Green’s playing can not be chronologically divided on jazz (ante ’soul’) and post ’jazz’ period. I have just checked some of the dates where he played in that style on others people albums, like with Lou Donaldson, and its ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I belive you will find it pleasing. I have that album for a long time now (edition with Donald Byrd's album on single cd) and I like it. I even like that Byrds alubum, no matter that on moments it sounds more like a soul/pop effort, melodies are q... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I have quite a few of his albums, or albums where he played,from different decades, man can play, no doubt. Like I said, its 'my thing', not something that I can disaprove about his music. Clip is from his 'Soul Experiment' album from 196... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I share your opinion. Aldo, imho, we skipp some very nice albums where Donald Byrd played, maybe later I could point to some.I have same feeling when it comes to FH, somehow I can name more albums where I liked Mitchell's playing, or Byrds... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Here is another ,not so famous, organ player and album that I like. He is perhaps best known as sideman of Wes Montgomery, on four Riverside albums that he made from 1959 to 1964. It is Mel Ryne on his 'Organ-izing' record from1960. ,with strong ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here is ' a forgotten star of the Hammond B-3 organ with a more subtle approach than many of his jazz contemporaries'. 'He often jammed at the Club 83 with musicians like Kenny Dorham, Cannonball Adderley, and Jackie McLean. But the key musical as... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Tina Brooks is stated as sideman on three Kenny Burrell's albums, among those, I would certainly recommend this one...I am sure that Orpheus will love the parts where Timmons is playinghttps://youtu.be/1RJAvhfo4WsFrogman, speaking of drug abuse, t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I would not draw any conclusions based only on one article, but I must admit that story sounds sinister. If it happens to be truth, it might change my romantic perspective about the label. Would like to hear more facts, if someone knows, or opinio... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Have you ever wonder why some of the great albums were not published when they were recorded, but years or decades later, sometimes even when the original artists were already dead?Intersting article on that subject, via perspective of Tina Brooks... |
