Clifford Brown and Max Roach - my all time favorite, imho best jazz combo that ever existed. pure bop, sophsticated arrangements, brilliant soloing...I'd better call my doctor because I have a problem that will last more than 4 hrs after listening to this....
now for some drivin soul jazz - crank this loud, you have to really hear this tune
Lee Morgan - Cornbread. The recording doesnt start until :56, so jump ahead.
Brilliant solos and rhythm playing
Listen to just the piano behind the solos - its a young Herbie Hancock, if this doesnt get your feet moving, you and not breathing.
in the same vein from Lee, Joe Henderson on tenor......this is the heart of Blue Note....
this tune started a jazz craze/style, called a boogaloo -
all great stuff. Thanks. I saw Kenny Burrell in a threesome about 20 something years ago in a hotel Bar in Framingham. Was a pleasure to listen and watch him play from 3 feet away. I was trying to impress my not then wife with my musical diversity. Not sure she liked it but I did.
