Jazz Sync Listen: Oliver Nelson - oooof!

[Six String]

Those weaving horns on Cascade!

Paul Chambers also played with the likes of Trane and 'Bags' Jackson - didn't he?

I did not warm to this album at first because it was recommended to me by critics who say 'If you love Kind Of Blue, you'll enjoy The Blues And The Abstract Truth'.

In fact, the two are very distinct animals.

Trying to do very different things.

I now love them both, but do not think they are similar in any way.

Not 'arf Les!

Stupendous

Nice tubs

Bill Evans really cooks on Cascade.

I can always identify Haynes by his snare sound. Very personal.

Agreed. Other than the two being true classic recordings and featuring Mr. P.C. and Bill Evans I don’t hear a similarity.

Dolphy can turn a blues standard on its head.

Exactly - he was superb

Out to Lunch is a phenomenal album

.

Yes.

And Monk, Chet Baker, Donald Byrd, etc.

Best known as bassist for Miles's classic first quintet, which recorded those wonderful albums Cookin, Relaxin, et al and Round About Midnight.

And drummer Roy Haynes was Coltrane's go-to drummer when Elvin Jones was not available for whatever reason.

Dolphy

I always think of Zappa's "The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue" from the album Weasels Ripped My Flesh...!

[Six String]

I love the sound of the bass clarinet. Superb!

Incidentally, I hope Spock is okay - this was his selection

Fingers crossed

Go Eric, GO!
