Notes_Norton Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) "Blue Rondo ala Turk" - Dave Brubeck Quartet When I was a kid we played at a Muscular Dystrophy telethon. We played right before the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Backstage after the gig, Paul Desmond the sax player was very kind and encouraging to this teenage sax player just cutting his gigging teeth. We played during the commercial break so we didn't get on TV (mom was disappointed) but we loved the experience anyway. This tune for me is infectious. When it goes from 9/8 to 4/4 it makes the swing seem even more intense, and Paul's alto sax lines are just brilliant (the rest of the band excels too) Edited May 9, 2020 by Notes_Norton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Since Little Richard just died, I thought listening to his pre-rock 'n' roll blues album would be a nice tribute. Edited May 10, 2020 by Notes_Norton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) I met Chet in the late 1980s or early 1990s. He said that he really wanted to be a jazz guitarist, but he knew which side of his bread the butter was on. I think many career musicians find that the genre of music we are successful at chooses us. In retrospect, it's probably the right one for us too. Chet was "one with the guitar", a very talented player in any genre he tried. Here is Jon Hendrick's take on a Neil Hefti/Count Basie song.

Notes_Norton Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 IMHO Kenny Burrell is a very nice guitar player. I found him indirectly through Stanley Turrentine (sax) and Jimmy Smith (organ) many years ago. I liked his improv ideas, his tone, and his comping.

Notes_Norton Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) If there ever was a heavy metal symphony this is it. Prokofiev himself described it as 'iron and steel.' It's not subtle, it attacks and affronts the listener, the dissonances are grating, and it's the closed 'classical' thing I know of to heavy metal. It was interesting at first and the more I listened to it, the more I liked it.
