ya...and as far as i can tell the only one. thing is, miles (and trane) had a very distinct tone, and it doesn't matter how well you coach your understudy to play the notes, he will never match the tone of the master.

Sunday Jazz brought to you by Kenny Burrell from the 1969 album Asphalt Canyon Suite. Alone in the City is a masterpiece of mood music.

Ive matched the tone of the masters!

Sunday Jazz, by Santana

Monday Jazz

time for some Jimmy Smith and the Hammond B3



full album if you're interested

hey must've been influenced by the Beasties!!!

dude was SUCH a ripoff artist...i'm not sure he ever had an original musical thought.

he also sampled the Beastie song Professor Booty



and the Aesop Rock song 6B Panorama



and the 2 Live Crew song Hoochie Mama



and the Superfunk song Here I Am



and the Starving Artists Crew song B-Boy Buffet





and dozens more....what a sham!

Sunday Jazz brought to you by Benny Goodman and friends:

Sunday Jazz with Joe Venuti and friends:

seems like this may have been posted recently, but i'm too lazy to check so i don't care.

it's what i'm listening to this Sunday.



Lee Morgan (trumpet)
Benny Golson (tenor sax)
Bobby Timmons (piano)
Jymie Merritt (bass)
Art Blakey (drums)

Benny Golson on tenor in the Blakey song above reminded me of he and Freddie Hubbard (with Ron Carter) playing Stardust


which reminded me of Trane playing the same



Wilbur Harden (flh, tp)
John Coltrane (ts)
Red Garland (p)
Paul Chambers (b)
Jimmy Cobb (ds)

and thinking about Trane made me think about one of the most powerful, emotional jazz songs every played.


john coltrane (ts/sp)
mccoy tyner(p)
jimmy garrison(b)
elvin jones(d)
live in stockholm 10/22/1963

all three played with Miles at different times and are members of some of the greatest jazz quintets of all time. amazing musical depth for just piano, bass and drums



Red Garland -piano
Ron Carter - bass
Philly Joe Jones - drums.

u r an encyclopedia of musical knowledge. gotta give it up.

I'm still the king of rock, though

not even close.

one of the things i found most interesting about jazz when i first started listening was the cross-pollination and the apparent two degrees of separation between most musicians. unlike rock (which you should know since you're king) it seems like every decent musician has played with other musicians and/or led their own group at one time or another. there are also numerous standards that have been played by several great groups that allow you to compare different styles and interpretations.

in the early years i had to either buy all the individual albums & cds or check them out from the library...youtube has made following the jazz family tree a whole lot easier in recent years.

*edit: apparently you can even buy a poster, but i haven't seen one in person so i don't have an opinion about it.

I remember watching BET Jazz back in the day.. the host asked the guest/guests to define jazz. I always loved that.

the 2 cats on voice... if I had to pick 1 favorite jazz passage oat... 8:10 to the end for my situation for me!

gorgeous melody. It's fun to try to sing along to

hi ya hi eee ya

how they voice the same parts for a spell, then diverge and do complimentary parts. Holy B-jesus

I just heard Tom Jones sing "Send in the Clowns." I love Tom Jones, but that's one terrible version.

Can't see it.

this is a perfect example of my comment above referencing jazz standards as well as the transitive nature of jazz musicians.

Autumn Leaves was originally a french song from the 40s



Vince Guaraldi included it on his 1957 album A Flower is a Lovesome Thing (you may recognize Vince's piano from his compositions for Charles Shultz's Peanuts cartoons, especially the christmas special)



Autumn Leaves was also included on the 1958 Cannonball Adderly album Somthin' Else featuring Miles on trumpet, Sam Jones on piano (the older brother of Elvin Jones, who was the drummer for Mingus, Miles, and Trane), and Art Blakey on drums (who played for Monk, Bird, and Dizzy, and later formed the Jazz Messengers). we've already established Cannonball played on the Miles led '58 album Milestones and '59 album Kind of Blue.

i recommend wearing headphones while you listen...the sound of Cannonball's embouchure feels like rubbing felt against your ears.



Bill Evans (who played in the Miles Davis sextet) also included Autumn Leaves on his 1959 album Portrait in Jazz. Scott LaFaro played bass (LaFaro also played with Ornette Coleman and Stan Getz) and Paul Motian on drums.



Miles never recorded the song on his own album, but he played it several times live between 1960 and 1965. here's a live version from 1964 with the classic quintet
