another great one (IMO) from back in the day - fusion - that I had never heard of until I got it spoon fed to me by the YT algorithm

yeah, that's a great one i haven't heard in ages. dig up Kofi and Electric Byrd and give 'em a listen. different sounds, but Ron Carter plays bass on both of them and it's always worth hearing him play bass.

Byrd played with Blakey, Trane, Sonny, Monk, and was the first to record Herbie as a part of the band.

Hell, just look up Byrd's discography and give them all a listen...he was part of some amazing music.

i know it's been posted before (one or twice or thrice by me) but this is what the headphones are echoing through my brain at the moment.
imo a top 5 jazz song of all time due to the complexity and musicianship from all parties involved.

this one's new to me, but lots of great players including the leader.

Henderson on sax:

Quote:

He played a prominent role in many landmark albums under other leaders for the label, including most of Horace Silver's Song for My Father, Herbie Hancock's dark and densely orchestrated The Prisoner, Lee Morgan's hit album The Sidewinder and "out" albums with pianist Andrew Hill (Black Fire, 1963 and Point of Departure, 1964) and drummer Pete La Roca (Basra, 1965).

Richard Davis - bass

Quote:

Among his best-known contributions to the albums of others are Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch!, Andrew Hill's Point of Departure, and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks,

Tony Williams - drums (guessing/hoping you know who he is)
Peter Erskine - drums (Weather Report with Jaco, etc.)

Chick Corea - piano (also guessing/hoping you know who he is)

Trane Classic Quartet (Tyner, Garrison, Jones) with Dolphy - Impressions
likely recorded sometime around 1961
the piano/bass/drum bit that starts around 4:45 demonstrates just how talented this rhythm section was.

lol and the phrase, I guess it's Dolphy? when the camera changes from closeup to more distant, inspired some guitar playing

Howard Levy plays a lot with Béla Fleck. I guess you could call him a Flecktone. He pretty much re-invented the harmonica. He's been doing a series of songs on youtube in 7/4 and 7/8 to illustrate how it sounds and feels.

Here he is covering Elizabeth Cotton in 4/7 with an Indian backing track. I could of put this in the covers, blues or music threads, but I thought putting it here would give it a better chance of being listened to. I haven't been able to count it out, but really like it.

that was fantastic.

bear with me for a bit 'cause i love 7 time. here's a boogie blues song by Will Bradley called 'Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar' (not in septuple meter)

here's an interpretation by Don Ellis called 'Beat Me Daddy, Seven to the Bar' played by the Don Ellis Orchestra at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1966 in 7/8 time

'The Tahai' is another song by the Don Ellis Orchastra in true 7/4 time. from the 1968 album Shock Treatment

Dave Brubeck's 'Unsquare Dance'

not jazz, but since we're on the 7/4 topic:
(no more derail after this post, just a lot of great songs in 7/4 time)

yeah, he seems to be a relatively unknown player that you've likely heard many times before. Shock Treatment is a fantastic album, i suggest giving it a full listen.

played trumpet on Mingus' Dynasty
and the soundtrack to the French Connection
and also on Zappa's Brown Shoes Don't Make It

Zappa wore yellow shoes. And wrote and played great jazz songs. And was no slouch in playing jazz on his gee-tar. Back in the dark ages, I may have posted a few of his songs in this thread.

Loved that first pic of Zappa in those 70s style shoes. Great memories of ugliness gone cool.

The stylish red shoes in the last pic show just the right amount of sophistication, with the grey sweat pants and dark blazer. The slightly reddish/pink sox add the correct amount of panache to the leather red shoes. Zappa the fashion plate.

continuing the Joe Henderson thread from a month ago.

Henderson & Alice Coltrane recorded October 1973 - The Elements
Fire
Air
Water
Earth

personnel include:
Charlie Haden on bass/double bass (all you really need to know about Haden is he was the bassist on Ornette's The Shape of Jazz to Come, but his career is so much deeper than that, he's played with a huge variety of musicians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Haden_discography)

Ndugu Chancler on drums (also played with Miles, Michael Jackson on Thriller, Santana, Weather Report, John Lee Hooker, Tina Turner, etc, etc)

There is either an extraordinarily large number of gifted female Japanese jazz pianists, or youtube discovered that I like Toshiko Akiyoshi and insists on tracking them down for me, but either way, A+ for the Hiromi.
