I love every song on that album I think that's his best work

Agreed.

His other stuff doesn't move me quite as much.


You know it's amazing the amount of old footage that's on youtube. How did people find this stuff? It's simply incredible. I know this is a bit off topic, but just the other day I stumbled across old footage of the Bonzo Dog Band on youtube and nearly had a heart attack I was so excited.


Art Tatum

i am a big Coltrane fan. that video is awesome, such a dynamite lineup on it. i think Coltrane and Eric Dolphy were such a dynamic match, their Village Vanguard recordings are really spectacular.
that is definitely my favorite period of Coltrane's music, the time before and during his Classic Quartet. it is just such a tight and perfectly cast group of guys playing together, they really fed off each other.

by the way, there is another jazz thread that people posted a ton of great stuff in:
http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/arts-entertainment/18320-jazz.html


i am a huge Mingus fan! that is a great album, one of my favorites. Mingus Ah Um is great too, and Blues & Roots.... so many!
i can see how Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus is a sort of punched up version of his bebop sound.

i love his album The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady too, that is one of my all-time favorite albums, possibly favorite album ever? maybe.
it doesn't have the bebop sound that 'Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus' has (and god knows i am all about the bebop), but to me it is such a powerful album.


great! how do you feel about McCoy Tyner?

Never heard of bonzo dog band

They did the whole art school dropout DIY rock thing before anyone else did in the 60s. I think Paul McCarthy produced some of their music. Pretty avant-garde weirdness (which I like :D)

:shock:

Are you Rob Gordon?

I love me some blues harp.

Nothing resonates with me like a harp when I'm feeling blue.

YouTube - gene krupa buddy rich drum battle

I like rich better but personally i think krupa won this.

My uncle is a drum enthusiast (whose been meaning to teach me for years now unsuccessfully :blush:), so I have a special place in my heart for drums.

I don't know either Gene Krupa or Buddy Rich, but I'll bet my uncle does.
*picks up phone to call him up*


Thelonious Monk [his quartet here but he's still jammin' :D]

& more Miles Davis :wubbie:

more recent than Art Tatum. McCoy Tyner played with Coltrane in the early-mid sixties. but he had a long career after that. he still records and tours.

Ahh, gotcha you.

I'll keep him in mind.

i think so too. but they are so different as players, Rich is such a technical drummer. i tend to like Krupa's style.

The P/J dichotomy is always so apparent with musicians, isn't it?

:rolleyes:

I think when Ps finally find something to focus on they can be just as intense as Js if not more.....also the crazy thing about buddy rich is that he apparently never practiced he only played on recordings and performances and that was his practice.

off topic but blue in green is perfect for a romantic evening lol
